Yeah "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$HOSTNAME.$(date +%Y.%m.%d).img" and while its running. (!!! Make sure the output is NOT going to the sd card you are backing up....)

I deliberately chose a time when it's not very active to perform the backup. Never had an issue, going on 6 years now.

I used to wonder why porn sites aren't required to use '.cum' instead of '.com'...

I've always used dd + sshfs to backup the entire sd card daily at midnight to an ssh server; retaining 2 weeks of backups.

Should the card die, I've just gotta write the last backup to a new card and pop it in. If that one's not good, I've got 13 others I can try.

I've only had to use it once and that went smoothly. I've tested half a dozen backups though and no issues there either.

Yup, Swedish police issued a search warrant and raided Mullvads offices last year. They left empty handed as Mullvad does not retain ANY customer data.

I wish I'd actually chosen a file system instead of just letting window's at the time default to NTFS for external drives.

Moving from Windows to Debian; NTFS has been nothing but a headache. I've actually had to setup a windows machine to serve that drive pool via SAMBA as Linux just won't play nicely with it.

Pretty sure the media itself is stored in ram, or similar volatile memory; so it wipes automatically on powerloss.

Last time I looked at the topic (several years ago in a now deleted reddit post); someone had posted info on the projector system.

The media is delivered on a battery backed up rack-mount pc with proprietary connectors and a dozen anti-tamper switches in the case. If it detects meddling; it wipes itself. You're not likely to grab a copy from there.

As the other commenter mentioned; the projector and media are heavily protected with DRM, encrypting the stream all the way up to the projector itself. You can pull an audio feed off the sound board; but you're stuck with a camera for video.

I hope exhibit A of the defences evidence is Elon telling them all to go fuck themselves.

They've gotta do something in the face of ballooning expenses...
