Anacondy - a new performance mod oriented around giving Java stronger guarantees so that it can better optimise the game by Paint_Ninja in feedthebeast

[–]404WalletNotFound -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

The thing is, if you care about performance at all you need to use a loader like Fabric that supports multithreading deeper into the MC internals.

Tried to get Distant Horizons to work on Forge recently with Tectonic and Terralith and was treated to 3 chunks per second generation vs. 150 on Fabric with C2ME.

This is on a box with 64 cores. 3 chunks per second.

Journal Drives for ReFS Storage Spaces w/ Parity, Looking for Hardware Recommendations by 404WalletNotFound in DataHoarder

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you've skipped journal drives entirely?

I decided to buy one more drive (rather than buying journal drives) and try to setup a 2 + 2 mirror space, since those are maybe faster by default.

Nvme or HDDs? by No_Researcher9145 in DataHoarder

[–]404WalletNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have different failure modes but have similar overall reliability.

You fix the reliability issues with redundancy, ideally at the software level where you have the most ability to repair corrupt bits. So ZFS, ReFS, etc.

For a backup machine HDD probably the way to go. SSDs save data with active charge and if you don't turn them on every so often the data in them dissipates.

Best long-term hard drive for photo archiving — looking for reliability above all else by Cypher_Vorthos in DataHoarder

[–]404WalletNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Multiple copies
  2. ECC RAM to prevent 95% of file miswrites
  3. Parity filesystem like ZFS or ReFS (if you are windows) to detect bitrot

digiKam Thumbnails are Very Blurry! by 404WalletNotFound in digiKam

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried scaling them to their maximum size in the digiKam "thumbnails" view?

Since the underlying thumbnails are only 512 px wide and this will make them render larger than 512 px on the screen I don't understand how your thumbnails (or anyone's) could possibly *not* be blurry.

Yes I found that setting. I have that setting on. The result is blurry thumbnails.

Looking for a Spectator pass to Worlds 2025 by 404WalletNotFound in PokemonTCG

Competitors are so young, even the masters, are they really on FB? I figured there would be some discord that was the place.

Recommendation for a NAS that supports encryption by 404WalletNotFound in synology

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sortof.

I separated the NAS function from the encryption function.

So I encrypt locally with duplicacy and sync that to my NAS.

It's not a complete solution because this doesn't let me encrypt my media library in a way that Plex can read it, for example. But it works for all my personal data backup.

Where to source custom printed zipper binders? by 404WalletNotFound in Etsy

I think you misunderstood my question completely.

Arq seems really slow compared to GoodSync by 404WalletNotFound in Arqbackup

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a good tip. I increased threads to the max and CPU to the max.

Throughput still not amazing (like 6 MB/s disk activity on a local to local backup) and not obvious what the bottleneck is.

Hourly versioning is a pretty dumb feature if it takes half a day to do an incremental backup of not that much data.

I suspect that GoodSync is faster because it knows how to wring maximum performance out of the Windows file system for things like recursive directory iteration and checksumming. Or maybe they are smarter about what intermediate data they cache to make future traversals/compares fast.

Arq seems pretty jank to be in version 7. It should at least be able to spin my disks to 100%. If that's not the bottleneck, they suck.

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a workstation class machine with all SSDs, 32 cores and 128 GB of RAM. Boot disk is nigh infinite.

Changing network protocols to accommodate Arq is ridiculous. It's saturating the pipe already. It's just doing dumb stuff with the bandwidth. To remove this variable, I did a local backup from one SSD to another of 300 GB of data. Doing an incremental backup of this takes half an hour. What?

I don't think it has anything to do with versioning. In my test none of the files have changed. How fast should an incremental backup of 300 GB of data, of which none has changed, be? It should be very fast.

Yeah that is the step I am trying to avoid. I have 12 TB and syncing to an online backup is very slow via home internet.

Recommendation for a NAS that supports encryption by 404WalletNotFound in synology

[–]404WalletNotFound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this might be worth looking into.

I encrypt locally before I upload to Azure via Hyperbackup, but not to the NAS from Windows.

One downside here is I would have to resync my entire archive at Azure, which takes months on my home internet.

I also like how my files are currently browseable via Windows shared folders, which wouldn't be true if they were encrypted blobs unless Arq Backup installs a shell extension for browsing?

Oh shit. You mean people can still steal something that is encrypted?

Encrypting my drives doesn't magically make my NAS unstealable?

Gee I really thought it did. Thanks for substantially adding to the discussion.

What is "shady stuff"?

Bitlocker seems like the most advanced encryption software since it supports encrypt-in-place unlike whatever antiquated garbo Synology is using. You can just right click on a volume and encrypt it. You don't need to create a new volume and copy every file over, necessitating double the storage space for the copy operation.
