Ooof, I don’t use it enough to justify that price…

I’ve abused syncthing in some many ways migrating servers and giant data sets. It’s freaking amazing. Though it’s been a few years since I’ve used it. Can only guess how much better it’s gotten.

IBM/Red Hat maybe since it’s a US company. HOWEVER we went through this with PGP already and the infamous RSA Dolphin.

So could they try? Yeah. Would it work? I don’t know.

It’s only a matter of time before the students start to exploit that system :D

Keep in mind that she doesn’t have much of anything to do with Publix AFAIK. I believe it’s an employee owned company and (from what I’ve heard) they treat their employees right.

That being said it’s way too fucking expensive to shop there these days. I mostly get subs, hot case, etc from there.

Neat idea, would be interesting if it used your own content from DLNA, Jellyfin, etc. The code looks simple enough that it should be possible to add a plug-in/provider for that stuff.

I think that it’s not going to have a long lifespan though. Being a simple and easy front end for various streaming sites might paint a target on it. Rightly or Wrongly.

I can see it having a longer life if it were to integrate some other technologies aside from the above like IPFS, BitTorrent, etc. The libraries to do that are already readily accessible eg LibP2P. Though that again might paint a bigger target.

Either way it’s definitely really neat and I’m sure a fun project to fork and explore if someone is feeling up to that kind of work.

Yeap! You can even make an automount unit too! That way it’s mounted on demand! Makes life sooo much easier. I even do it for my external drives I use for backups

I read that as geriatric squirrels 🐿️ and it still made perfect sense…

Since both drives are SSDs there’s nothing really stopping you from using BTRFS. You are correct that the features for BTRFS are better for the long term health of your SSDs and if you feel comfortable with it then you should 100% use it. That being said with todays SSDs the life span extending features of BTRFS, F2FS, etc are going to be minimal at best. So don’t stress too much over running it or not. Just use whatever you’re most comfortable with.

The kind of data OP is talking about using won’t benefit much from the features of btrfs. That being said it’s still a great choice for them!

Also it will detect bitrot but it won’t be able to fix it unless DUP is being used.

I’m assuming you don’t want to tinker with things? I’m also assuming you do not have experience with things like ZFS. So….

Unless you’re running multiple drives (or special options) zfs & btrfs aren’t going to give you much. For instance btrfs (unless it’s set to DUP) isn’t going to protect from bitrot or other data corruption. Same goes for ZFS. It will throw an error when something doesn’t match the checksum though.

Your best option is to either use ext4 or xfs for your 4tb storage. If you’re working with a lot of large files xfs has some advantages but overall you’re not going to notice that much of a difference in your uses.

For your ssd, btrfs has the advantage over ext4 and xfs. Although so does f2fs. In practical uses for what you’re describing it’s not going to make that much of a difference.

Unless you have a specific reason to use something other than ext4 then just stick with that. It’s simple and just works. Make sure you’re keeping backups eg restic, borg, rsync, duplicity, etc etc. and follow the 3,2,1 rule where possible and you’ll be fine.

If it were me setting up that system I’d mirror the drives and use btrfs. Which is pretty much what I did on my PC. But that double the costs of storage.

The only place (at home) I use ZFS is on my NAS. I have Rocky8 setup and all it does is handle storage. I use mirrored pairs on my important data and Z1 on everything else. But that’s a topic for another post

If you REALLY want some of the features of zfs or btrfs eg snapshots, I’d lean on your backup software for that but if you can use LVM to take snapshots in a similar fashion. See STRAIS for another example too. However that’s beyond the scope of this post.

Hey OP, if you’re feeling attacked maybe try to engage some critical thinking skills and the scientific method. There’s decades of established research and evidence that you can work on reproducing and proving it wrong. That’s the beauty of open information and the scientific method. I’m sure there’s an amazing opportunity for anyone who is able to show that decades of peer reviewed research is wrong.

Good Bot?

Just saw it now… 😩

Whomever wrote that is pandering to the type of person that only reads headlines and does no critical thinking. You’re 100% correct and it’s dangerous to promote that kind of easily debunked misinformation. This has no place on here and should be downvoted into oblivion.

This is the best answer. I use it regularly to keep hundreds of TB in sync across nodes. Works extremely well and is pretty much hands off once setup.
