It’s not paranoia if they really are trying to kill scam you.

IMHO you probably now have the right amount of scepticism.

Banks’ system are probably already compromised and don’t even know it.

I did this until I moved to an ISP that cared about IPv6.

It was almost trivial even with the ISP’s PoS router.

Backup backup backup! If you have btrfs them just take a snapshot first: instantly.

One could do a non-destructive rename first. E.g. prepend deleteme. to the file name, sanity check it, then ‘rollback’ by renaming back without the prefix or commit and delete anything with the prefix.

Freaking enormous galaxy. Is unusual in almost every way.

ln creates a hard link, ln -s creates a symlink.

So, yes, the hardlink tool effectively replaces a file’s duplicates with hard links automatically, as if you’d used ln manually.

For backup or for file-level reduplication?

If the latter, how?

I have exactly the same problem.

I got as far as using fdupe to identify duplicates and delete the extras. It was slow.

Thinking about some of the other comments… If you use a tool to create hardlinks first, then one could then traverse the entire tree and deleting a file if it has more than one hardlink. The two phases could be done piecemeal and are cancelable and restartable.

This is exactly what it’s like when one’semployer has offices on the exact opposite sides of the world.

I’m talking antipodal points here.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

I read that in Agent Smith’s voice.

Plot.

He’s that chill future guy from Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure.

You’ve sold me queer giraffes!

Over the last three decades…

• DOS/Win (Games)
• … Various Windows … (Games)
• RedHat 6 for learning about this Linux thing
• LFS for shits ‘n’ giggles
• Ubuntu (for drivers that just worked)
• Debian (for minimalism)
• Ubuntu (for comfort)
• Fedora/Ubuntu

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Derp, here’s me trying to figure out what “98X” was referring to.

Straight from the Boeing book.

In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

Almost everything can be parallelized, it’s just a bit harder to implement.

I’ve found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

I personally try to support the underdog, so AMD when it comes to x86.

Intel also refuses to provide Vulkan drivers for older CPU’s iGPU’s to drive consumers towards buying new systems, which I considered a dick move, and upgraded that laptop with an AMD based replacement.

We bought three 13900’s for workstations at work, got burnt with two of them, bought 7950X3D’s instead for the next three.

So, if you’re set on Intel (which is your prerogative) ask someone else ;-)
