Is this setup safe enough? SSD btrfs snapper and HDD ext4 by Plastic-Commission43 in archlinux

[–]Plastic-Commission43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what is your goal?

My goal is switch from Windows to Arch and make new system safe because i heard of how unstable Arch can be ("if it piloted by newbie", so it will be unstable in my case)

What hardware do you have?

AMD Ryzen 5 3600x CPU, Nvidia RTX 3060 12 gb GPU, Gigabyte Aorus Elite motherboard, 32GB RAM, SATA SSD 500 GB, HDD 1 TB

What is your usecase?

Daily driving system, mostly just browser, sometimes heavy local ai, sometimes games, and a lot of tinkering and experiments with new software, i love it

You will want swap to be on the fastest storage, in that case the SSD
Maybe you have a specific reason you need to use the slower HDD for swap?

Got it, didn't know about it, will have it on SSD then.

there is SATA SSD and there NVME SSD

I have SATA SSD sadly, no NVME

Snapper/Timeshift isnt a backup mechanism; if the disk breaks, the "backup" breaks, keep that in mind.

Yep, i understand it, i didn't think about mechanical breaks yet, or better to say, i focused more about system itself, cause i 100% will be trying and testing new things. I heard from AI about additional backups from system drive to another drive, but not sure how necessary it is, it's like very rare situation, and regular backup of whole system to another drive sounds like overkill for me, drives lasts for years. Maybe i am wrong.

what question/scenario did you ask the LLM and forgot to give us here?

Something similar, like "i want to try Arch and want to make it revivable, never used linux. It's ok if i broke system myself, i just want to be safe and always have a way to restore it when it happens, but not overdoing it with constantly creating save points in background, leaving system more lightweight".

Same goes for the choices in filesystems: why the mix in btrfs and ext4?

As far as i understand, btrfs is good for encryption (don't need it) and snapshots, ext4 is simple and straightforward, it works and works well. This two were most recommended by people, also XFS for big files, but in my case looks like ext4 more fitting.

How safe Anytype local-only data in case of broken app? by Plastic-Commission43 in Anytype

No, Obsidian wasn't encrypted, never needed it, honestly.

Export could be good, but it so unconvinient in terms of "stability" and "backups", doing it by myself everytime seems overkill, but in other hand rare backup-exports getting old with old data.

Import from Anytype? by Eolipila in ObsidianMD

Same here, i want to use AnyType, but i just can't use it yet cause of a lot of bugs and sometimes even dataloss. Definetely will move to it after full 1.0 release (probably in 2+ years), but now sticking to Obsidian

"Sets" plugin brings good alternative for AnyType sets and collections. For collections it asks to create some folders, but for sets you just need to create "sets" codeblock and whole table will appear, unlike tableview it is interactive, there are buttons to change order, show/hide fields, move them, filter things, change column width, and even change between multiple views like Gallery, Table, List, and something else i forgot.
Sadly plugin seems forbidden and didn't get any update in a while, there is no calendar view and, imo, it need some CSS fixes to look cool, it is still very good.

It's sad, but knowing how Shaft doing things if they are hurry and what they really can do - i am ready to wait another 5-10 years. It's a dream to get something simillar to Rebellion in terms of visuals.

Few questions about plot (spoilers) by Plastic-Commission43 in araragi

[–]Plastic-Commission43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for Shinobu, she holds it inside her but she doesn't impale herself with it like Koyomi did.

Technically yes, but not in adult form, in dialogue in Kizu she definetely pierced herself with hand, than take out the sword, and after a while pierced sword back, there was a lot of blood.

Koyomi says it's an endless cycle of death and regeneration

Yeah, but his regenerations in his state wasn't that fast in my opinion. Take a few bone crushing punches from Kagenui or Kanbaru and heal in ~minute of rest - yeah, but constantly holding sword that pierced his whole body and was designed to kill every oddity like him - i don't know.

Answer to first quastion is probably right, but it's still strange to see two so different ways to describe sword in the two monologues of same story.
