traches

Have you considered karakeep (formerly hoarder)? It does all of this really well - drop it a URL and it saves a copy. Has lists & tagging (can be done by AI if you want), IOS & android apps as well as browser extensions that make saving stuff super easy.

Dude, the same people made nine parchments which got me and my friends through the pandemic. It’s such a good game and I don’t think we’ll ever get a sequel :(

It worked for us because you could do combo co-op: my wife and I sharing a switch at our place, friends (also a couple) on their switch at their place.

It’s a bit like a very simplified Diablo, with friendly fire. Minimal loot and a ~~5~~ 6? I’m pretty sure it’s 6 color elemental system. Mostly achievement based unlocks. Has a permadeath mode where if you wipe as a party, you have to start the campaign over. Fun, whimsical art and the music ain’t bad either. My only real criticism is that they put so little effort into the plot I wonder why they bothered at all, but it does stay out of your way for the most part

Try it out. Order coffee with it

Exchange rate is 3.76 PLN to 1 USD, which is actually the best I’ve seen in years

I only looked how zfs tracks checksums because of your suggestion! Hashing 2TB will take a minute, would be nice to avoid.

Nushell is neat, I’m using it as my login shell. Good for this kind of data-wrangling but also a pre-1.0 moving target.

Tailscale deserves it, bitcoin absolutely does not

Where I live (not the US) I’m seeing closer to $240 per TB for M-disc. My whole archive is just a bit over 2TB, though I’m also including exported jpgs in case I can’t get a working copy of darktable that can render my edits. It’s set to save xmp sidecars on edit so I don’t bother with backing up the database.

I mostly wanted a tool to divide up the images into disk-sized chunks, and to automatically track changes to existing files, such as sidecar edits or new photos. I’m now seeing I can do both of those and still get files directly on the disk, so that’s what I’ll be doing.

I’d be careful with using SSDs for long term, offline storage. I hear they lose data if not powered for a long time. IMO metadata is small enough to just save a new copy when it changes

I’ve been thinking through how I’d write this. With so many files it’s probably worth using sqlite, and then I can match them up by joining on the hash. Deletions and new files can be found with different join conditions. I found a tool called ‘hashdeep’ that can checksum everything, though for incremental runs I’ll probably skip hashing if the size, times, and filename haven’t changed. I’m thinking nushell for the plumbing? It runs everywhere, though they have breaking changes frequently. Maybe rust?

ZFS checksums are done at the block level, and after compression and encryption. I don’t think they’re meant for this purpose.

Aww, man, I’m conflicted here. On one hand, I’ve enjoyed their work for years and they seem like good dudes who deserve to eat. On the other, they’re AI enthusiast crypto-bros and that’s just fucking exhausting. I deal with enough of that bullshit at work

Edit: rephrase for clarity

humans are neat

I know lemmy is social media for people with a favorite Linux distro so I’m preaching to the choir here, but so much software is free as in speech it is truly wonderful. It’s like the only thing I love about being a millennial
