out of curiosity, does anyone use actual backup software on their home desktop installations? Either centralized like amanda or bacula or single-workstation like deja-dup or duplicity. I just use rsync for big files and clone mercurial repositories for code and etc. I might try to get bacula working since I haven't tried it before.

I use syncthing on all machines for sync and immediate "oops delete" recovery including my phone. Then use restic for actual backups with a backblaze B2 repo as remote storage.

Also, I'm a paranoid idiot so I don't trust online backups. Maybe I'll hook up my parents with that service though. maybe once Munich gets back into open source development, they'll make open source backup software actually user friendly. I won't hold my breath. Maybe I should learn German.

NAS + Backblaze is actually what I should probably setup for my parents anyway, and if it works ok, then I'll probably do it for my own data too.

all of my desktop/laptop machines take btrfs snapshots on every boot, and i regularly sync those to a big RAID 1 in my home server time machine to two separate disks for my wifes mbp, two disks for more reundancy, and because time machine in high sierra regularly seems to get into a hosed up state where no further incremental backups will hapen, goes from 'preparing backup' to idle, not actually doing the backup, only way ive found to work around it is to zero the backup disk and do another full backup, so still have one readable backup while one disk is getting a full backup

"Project Springfield" Is Red Hat's Effort To Improve Linux File-Systems / Storage looked into that stratis project not that long ago, but it just seems like a binary that provides a dbus endpoint for creating thin lvm volumes with xfs on them, and nothing more? another project where its "redeeming feature" is that it's written in rust, like that's a goal in itself

Tankakern posted:"Project Springfield" Is Red Hat's Effort To Improve Linux File-Systems / Storage Interesting! I think the primary selling point of stratis is that it uses hidden tricks to automatically grow thinly provisioned filesystems so that "free space" is irrelevant. The idea is that you have a pool of space, and you create one or more thin volumes that can grow to consume the entirety of the space. I assume that stratis changes the filesystem metadata and underlying data allocation which is why they ask you to please not use xfs tools on stratis volumes and let stratis do it. Of course, I read through the first few sentences and thought "this is just lvm, with magic". And "btrfs would probably do this better since it's built from the ground up for this". Either someone really wanted to learn more about xfs, or someone wanted to extend (or simply exercise) their current knowledge of xfs. Because I think this kind of magic looks brittle as gently caress.

unless you're using the new-fangled "chat features enabled" crap, you are sending data via an out of band signaling method, not over the Internet. This stuff prioritizes high reliability and robustness but bandwidth really suffers. So movies are adjusted accordingly. Solution is to just not use mms. Use google hangouts or slack or discord or kakaotalk or LINE or iMessage or...
