avidamoeba, to selfhosted in Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up?
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Wouldn’t send/receive also sync snapshots across ZFS instances?

Cause it makes sense at a glance and it’s efficient. Not for backup purposes though.

Using plain rsync sounds sane.

Sending local ZFS snapshots to the remote ZFS might be problematic. Consider accidentally deleting important data locally and nuking all of your local snapshots, then sending that to the remote ZFS. You lost all of your snapshots and there’s no way to recover the deleted data. Instead do what I do - keep the two ZFS systems separate and use a non-ZFS mechanism to transfer data - rsync, Syncthing, etc. That way even if you delete everything locally, nuke all local snapshots and send the deletions via rsync remotely, you could still recover your data by restoring the remote ZFS to a snapshot prior to the deletions. For reference I have two ZFS machines doing frequent snapshots and Syncthing replicating data between them on immediate basis.

!selfhosted, please do critique if you find some fundamental issues with this.

avidamoeba, to linux in Laptop companies: which one?
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh I now remembered that mine developed a problem with one of the USB ports, not a cartridge but the host port. Framework sent me a new board. I replaced it easily and sent the bad one to them.

Another happy Framework user here. I have 2 first gens in my immediate family and 2 second gens among my friends. All run Ubuntu LTS. No one is complaining. I’ve already replaced my bottom chassis because I destroyed it during a bad mishap. Ordering was easy, the part was inexpensive, the replacement was straightforward. A Dell XPS perhaps feels a bit better made, but then it doesn’t say Made in Taiwan on the bottom so there’s that. 😅

On the other hand System76 is building a new open source desktop environment in a sane programming language… 🤔 If COSMIC desktop turns out great and I end up using it, I’ll probably throw a couple of hundred their way in lieu of buy their laptop.

No it doesn’t?

Always, as others have said.

Finally doing what they should have done ages ago. If you leave packaging and backporting work to distro maintainers, you’ll get whatever they have the time for, whether they’re volunteers or employees. If the results are not okay for you - package it yourself.

An intern nuked their workstation by sudo chmod -R 777 /. Turns out adding exec to everything isn’t good either.
