AskUbuntuPartition info is confusing for me #partitioning #ext4 #fdisk
Luca Ruggeri@BrideOfLinux in the previous comparative I saw how slow is BTRFS so I got why my friend’s Debian install was so snappy, it’s under #ext4
But I can save a snapshot to file easily o stead of using programs for backup

Thomas (le retour de la revanche)Tiens, au fait, sous Windows, c’est toujours impossible d’accéder aux fichiers sur une clé USB ou un disque dur formatés en EXT4?

r1w1s1Linux 6.19.4 Released
Linux 6.19.4 is now available as a stable update in the 6.19.x series, bringing small but important fixes across the kernel.
This release includes:
I’ve also updated my ThinkPad X220 (used as a testing machine), and it continues to run perfectly fine on 6.19.4.
I’m building the kernel using the original SlackBuild scripts from Slackware-current’s testing tree, preserving the official packaging structure and only updating the upstream source.
Build notes are documented here:

@mfuhrmann In theory kinda yes. It deepends on how you setup the tool. Number of snapshots ... But, under practical conditions not really.
I usually, just revert back to an earlier time point and things are fine. Anyways, you can also choose a snapshot during boot.
On #Debian based systems I use #timeshift (with #ext4) in a similar fashing.

Dendrobatus AzureusI've recently finished a task set entrusted to me by a client. The task was executed 100% remotely with server farm(s) thousands of nautical miles away.
Skillset used are
(remote) server VM management (XEN and ProxMox**)
Linux client server experience
VOIP (incl asterisk)
specific migration skills varying from simple looking updates (which can break custom hard coded scripts & programs PHP code, C code, etc) to full server migrations to higher versions often spanning more than two versional steps in between
filesystems in different Open Source OS where redundancy building of data is important
bare metal skills
BSD (limited yet good enough experience)
Bare metal server placement
Energy and heat distribution
logic
patience / patience / patience
KISS
I get computing related tasks from this client for more than 30 years, which means that a solid basis of mutual trust has been build between us
I love having my client feeling extra great again after this task set was completed.
** Including proxmox LB code!
