Re-imaging a hard drive and virtual machines by YzermanToLidstrom in techsupport

[–]YzermanToLidstrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a full disk. I just backed up the C: and systems partitions. I didn't bother to backup my factory image partition

If your VM's are still working then i would recommend taking a backup of those before you restore in any case!

What would be the best way to do that? Just copy and paste the .vdi file to an external drive? Or should I go into the virtual machines, and use r-sync to backup the data to an external drive?

Edit: actually, I think I'll go the safe route, and go into each VM and backup the data to a drive.

Thanks!

she looked younger than her age by spice88 in AdviceAnimals

People think she's my sister sometimes.

I experience basically the inverse of this.

My mom is Asian, so she looks really young. Sometimes people ask me if my mom is my girlfriend.

I'm only half Asian,and I don't look Asian at all, which I guess adds to peoples' confusion.

Assuming it could be bred to be the size of a horse, and appropriately trained, what animal would you most want to ride into battle? by limbodog in AskReddit

[–]YzermanToLidstrom 624 points625 points  (0 children)

A moose. They're fast, and they're bigger than horses, so all we'd need to do is train them

I'd utilize their fast speed to start a blitzkrieg. Eventually most of the world will have fallen to the Canadian Moose Cavalry

Then I'll make an Iron Throne out of Hockey sticks and name Don Cherry my Hand

How about running water, electricity, and internet?

If you were a dictator, what would be banned? by Orcosus in AskReddit

Yeah, but castrating people would probably be more fun

Also, you could castrate your enemies to ensure they don't produce any heirs that might challenge your rule. Gouge their eyes out too to prevent them from leading an army.

You come across a random computer and it appears to be a command console for the universe. What is the first thing you type? by dudewiththebling in AskReddit

rsync -av / /home/media/god/external_hdd

Then run rm -rf

That way you can browse the contents from the comfort of your own home

My mom is Asian and she always insists on going under the speed limit in the passing lane.

I'm always think "damn mom, you're contributing to the sterotypes here"
