Now this is an interesting #Python problem. I don't know if it's a #bug, but it's a change in behaviour that I don't see documented.

I upgraded from #Debian 12/Bookworm to 13/Trixie, so the default Python3 changed from 3.11 to 3.13. A script of mine broke, because `pathlib.Path.is_mount()` changed behaviour when the path is a symlink (at least to a directory).

i.e. I'm testing a path that is a symlink. The symlink points to a directory. That directory *is* a mountpoint. The `.is_mount()` test in 3.11 returned True, while in 3.13 it returns False.

This seems wrong to me. Most path-manipulation functions transparently treat symlinks as if they were the pointed-to object unless you pass an option/flag specifically to say you want the symlink itself.

Gonna have to dig to see what else I can find.

Der Proxmox Backup Server als LXC

In meinem Proxmox-Cluster habe ich eine Node, auf der ein Linux-Container als Proxmox Backup Server läuft.

#Mountpoint for #AmazonS3 is now generally available: https://bit.ly/3OLS9Vi

The new open-source file client provides through a file interface the elastic storage and throughput of Amazon S3, supporting data transfer at up to 100 Gb/second between each EC2 instance and the object storage.
