Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it’s entirely possible errors just went unnoticed 😅

Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.
Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it’s how I handle my external SSD rn as well
Edit: Also, I’m not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn’t realize that when I suggested it.
Ah, now that’s a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.
As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I’ve used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.
I second borg, been using it for years and it’s never let me down. Granted, I haven’t actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol
Since space is a major concern, maybe have a look at borg and possibly something like borgmatic on top for easier configuration. Borg does deduplicated backups, so you could do even hourly ones if you wanted without too much extra space depending on how many you want to keep. You’d need to run a borg server wherever you want to store your backups so it’s not a simple rsync over ssh situation but that’s the price you pay for the extra niceties.
As a Brazilian who grew up in a not too remote area, modchipped PS2s were everywhere growing up, as it was the only realistic option to game for the vast majority. Things have shifted a bit these days, but it did use to be like that.
As a result, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legit PS2 game or an og Xbox/GameCube for that matter lol.
I don’t suppose you’re thinking of the system BlendOS uses, right? It’s the closest I can think of based on your description but it doesn’t seem to fit the timeframe.
As a Logseq user, that looks pretty much like what I wanted it to be. Lean, self hostable, no weird feature bloat. I’ll take a closer look!
Btw just in case you aren’t aware, the nag can be done away with. I don’t have a link off the top of my head but it’s out there.
No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)
Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.
Fair enough, no judgement here either way! Unix permissions can be daunting going in, I know I’ve struggled with them quite a bit back when I was learning 😅
Nice, that’s a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.
Side note, losing write access to one’s own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you’re new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!
I love your attitude lol
That’s basically the one thing you can’t do right now unless you add another copy to the family iirc, which is fair enough imo
As soon as I saw it was about “the whole gender stuff” I knew it had to be some garbage bigoted take lol
Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.
As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.
I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.
I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.
They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.
It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was “oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot” for a second 😅
