    I recommend it over a full disk backup because I can automate it. I can’t automate full disk backups as I can’t run dd reliably from a system that is itself already running.

    It’s mostly just to ensure that I have config files and other stuff I’ve spent years building be available in the case of a total collapse so I don’t have to rebuilt from scratch. In the case of containers, those have snapshots. Anytime I’m working on one, I drop a snapshot first so I can revert if it breaks. That’s essentially a full disk backup but it’s exclusive to containers.

    edit: if your goal is to minimize downtime in case of disk failure, you could just use RAID

    My method requires that the drives be plugged in at all times, but it’s completely automatic.

    I use rsync from a central ‘backups’ container that pulls folders from other containers and machines. These are organized in

    /BACKUPS/(machine/container)_hostname/...

    The /BACKUPS/ folder is then pushed to an offsite container I have sitting at a friends place across town.

    For example, I backup my home folder on my desktop which looks like this on the backup container

    /BACKUPS/Machine_Apollo/home/dork/

    This setup is not impervious to bitflips a far as I’m aware (it has never happened). If a bit flip happens upstream, it will be pushed to backups and become irrecoverable.

    Who are you, Pierre Spray? Of course it siphoned money out of the peoples hands, that’s what America does. That doesn’t mean the plane doesn’t work. Also no, I’m not gonna respond to all 6 of you. You all have the same point.

    You are wrong about the statistics and none of you have owned up to that and the only one who actually went and checked (presumably) when I pointed it out is weaseling his way out of it with disingenuous language instead of just saying the number, because they know that they’d look dumb if if they said less than 30 of over 900 built have crashed and less than half of those were actually a plane malfunction and not operator error or a fucking experimental test frame. It’s easier to say “many crash” than to give a number and leave it up to the reader to interpret whatever that means. It’s also easy to imply that the planes are broken and non-functional two-thirds of the time by implying that basic-ass maintenance standards are somehow a bad thing. There does not exist a fighter jet which does not sit in a hangar or below deck for most of its life. The F35 is more complex than the planes it replaced and is full of exotic materials, so of course it requires more maintenance.

    Please understand that I also hate America- I just base my hatred in factual reality.

    The inevitable collapse of the west is going to come as complete shock to people like you.

    It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

    The writing is on the wall but you are just to smug and self assured to even contemplate it.

    I don’t know what this has to be with the F35 failure rate

    ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

    We’re being fed to the same mulcher, man. You’re not owning class, we’re both gonna die in World War 3.

    It seems like you have a lot of assumptions about me and what I believe
