It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was “oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot” for a second 😅

Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it’s entirely possible errors just went unnoticed 😅

Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.

Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it’s how I handle my external SSD rn as well

Edit: Also, I’m not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn’t realize that when I suggested it.

Ah, now that’s a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.

As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I’ve used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.

I second borg, been using it for years and it’s never let me down. Granted, I haven’t actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol

Since space is a major concern, maybe have a look at borg and possibly something like borgmatic on top for easier configuration. Borg does deduplicated backups, so you could do even hourly ones if you wanted without too much extra space depending on how many you want to keep. You’d need to run a borg server wherever you want to store your backups so it’s not a simple rsync over ssh situation but that’s the price you pay for the extra niceties.

I don’t suppose you’re thinking of the system BlendOS uses, right? It’s the closest I can think of based on your description but it doesn’t seem to fit the timeframe.

As a Logseq user, that looks pretty much like what I wanted it to be. Lean, self hostable, no weird feature bloat. I’ll take a closer look!

Btw just in case you aren’t aware, the nag can be done away with. I don’t have a link off the top of my head but it’s out there.

Nice, that’s a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.

Side note, losing write access to one’s own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you’re new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!

Moments like this make me miss suddenlycaralho lol

Anyway, I dig the look! The slightly different wallpapers are a nice touch, don’t see that too often. Bonus points for providing your dotfiles and everything.
