KurtJMac started Far Lands or Bust in 2011, and reached 9.9 million blocks earlier this month.

That sounds pretty much like what Dirvish and rsnapshot do. Both wrap rsync.

Does your FS support online resizing?

Yeah. I mainly use btrfs; it supports online growing and shrinking.

Be super careful about partition sizes. […]

I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.

Have backups.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish

Nah, it’ll be fine.

I might have a large enough USB SSD laying around some where. I could probably use that instead.

• extend VG with the USB PV
• move LV’s to USB
• shrink root LV
• resize boot
• move things back on a new internal PV

That’s not even a bad idea then.

One of my machines has a boot partition that’s a bit too small, on an otherwise LVM setup.

Good grief. Why?

jdupes is my go-to solution for file deduplication. It should be able to remove duplicate files. I don’t know how much control it gives you over which duplicate to remove though.

This line got to me: >!“My dad was so hard to read”!<

I think the only TK-based tools I have ever uses are gitk and git gui. And even those I have mostly replaced with tig and lazygit

Can we please not accuse everybody of being AI

Suspicious. /s

But rises again, harder and stronger.

As a fan of the games, and having watched the trailer: no.

[standing ovation]

You’ll want to look into a category of programs called dotfiles managers. There’s a bunch of them. Most of them are based on some kind of version control system, usually git.

I personally use yadm

We welcome you to the beautiful mind of Brian David Gilbert.

There’s a committee that meets every 3 months and takes in suggestions from the public.

Sorry for the late reply.

I don’t know if ROC can do multicast on its own. I use the Pipewire source and sink. And I only do the one-to-one setup.

I did some tests in Pipewire:

Configuring multiple sinks is possible on a machine. They simply present as additional output devices. So if you want to switch audio to another source, that should be doable by switching to another output device.

Doing one-to-many: I don’t know if that is possible with ROC alone. You might be able to do something with Pipewire graphs

I’m currently using ROC on my laptop and desktop. Latency is low enough to not be noticeable when playing video on my laptop and streaming audio to the desktop. Audio can get a bit choppy if my laptop is on WiFi. But that is most probably because the signal between the repeater on the second floor and my DSL modem on the ground floor is pretty meh.

ZRAM/ZSWAP is a thing on Linux at least. But that doesn’t compress actively used RAM. That’s just compressed swap space in memory.

LPT: pies since at least the 3b can boot from USB.
