Ha. I had a coworker gift me a high end amp because the volume was all crackly. Opened it up sprayed electronic cleaner on the volume rheostat thingy and gave it a few back and forth turns. Perfect sound. I offered it back but he’d already purchased a new one. :/

My daughter was in a state searching all over before she left the house, when I asked what she was looking for, she said “my phone”. My other daughter piped up " you have it to your ear, you are talking on it"

You can assign auto snapshots or create on demand, but whether or not you have a maintenance tool that does scrub, cleaning whatever is another story. I guess my point was something that has Btrfs as default install will also have some curation around the tools that optimize that system

Fedora, like OpenSUSE that has btrfs by default, should be running scheduled scripts to do scrub, maintenance and dump old snapshots (either by number of snapshots or by age) on its own. Others having issue with btrfs are probably manually setting it up and not knowing the options or don’t have scripts that run on the back end. Having said that I do notice the partitions suggested for root are highly conservative, I usually add 30% on top of suggested root size and haven’t had issues in 7+ years

The USA just looks more like a bowl of shit every single day.

I just use tr command and specify the swap from " " to "-” so much simpler than complex apps

As for the other question in thr post: If you are using btrfs or zfs I believe both of those have a send function that operates at a block level and will only send block changes rather than full file changes

Configure and Pre backup the drives before bringing them to family members to save yourself some bandwidth

The 60s is just a “oops I actually wanted to do X thing tbefore shudown”. So you don’t have to reboot for your forgotten task you meant to do

Its a 2010 IOMega Home media hard drive, with OEM OS wiped off, and Debian imstalled. 32 bit armv6 board. Since it only has 256Mb the 3.12 kernel is the latest that would install, newer give errors about size, so I have it blocked from internet access. But you can see from the screen capture that once running is barely takes up 30% of that 256MB. Music streaming was my last use, previously was movie streaming using twonky until we got a 4k TV. Image is a few months back when it wasrunning openmediavault but I built a new server recently and this might just become a ups monitor or something. PS my date is wrong LOL 01 09 2025 vs 09 01 2025 I assume is what I did.

I have Debian running on an ARM board that has 256MB RAM. Handles Audio and 720/video streaming without having to use swap.

Can’t make a claim for Fedora, but I know on OpenSUSE the maintenance,Scrub etc is already built In as cron/scripts. There’s no need to run additional scripts.

Ah, OK. I thought he’d totally lost all his marbles

Home depot?

While monolithic may not be the keep is simple rule aimed for in originally in Unix/Linux, I wonder if it even matters…is there something really gained by init systems that make a difference for the average Linux user?

9 kills all 9 lives is they way the hpunix guy explained it to me in the mid 90s

As comments below you will need to check /etc/fstab and then run a mkgrub or mkgrub2 command with options like -o (you will have lookup the full string) and it will rewrite the info that the system is told at boot about drive partitions
