How do you actually grab something off the shelves, if both lifts are keeping the other up?
Abrubt power off shouldn’t damage the drives, but it can absolutely corrupt files that are being written, and even entirely delete things in the write cache.
I seriusly can’t get over how cool Loremaster is.
The cyborg arms. The red glasses. The eyes. The horns.
😌👌
I’m starting to think the Moomins are the sanest people in the valley.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal serverEnglish
2·2 days agoDepends. If you are running it as a service that starts with the system (
sudo sysemctl enable kopiashould work with most install methods, as kopia comes with a systemd service you only need to enable) then yes, it will use its own scheduler.If you want to use your own scheduling, you’d use anything that can execute a command on a schedule.

1·2 days agoThe main advantages of Kopia, are speed and destination flexibility.
The off-site storage does not need to have Kopia installed. It can be a mounted network location, an FTP server. Whatever. A generic cloud storage bucket like Backblaze B2.
That’s why just a router with and external drive hooked up is able to suffice.
For all of these, you can connect multiple Kopia instances to that same destination, and each client can browse backups, restore from them, and backup their own files to the destination. It even performs file deduplication across different source device. All while that destination device or service, has no access to your encrypted files.
With borg, you need something like a Pi that can have borg installed. (You can also do this with Kopia, in which case the Kopia instance on the destination device is also able to manage the backups).
Kopia also beats borg and restic in speed. My daily backups typically complete within a minute or two. I used to use Duplicati, with which it was common for it to take up to an hour. When it started regularly taking more than an hour, I switched to Kopia.
Kopia is not the fastest for initial backup. The speed of this varies depending on destination type. It does not compress by default, but you can enable almost any type of compression you want. No, what it is fastest at is updating backups. If there is nothing to update, it does not take forever for it to figure that out. Kopia does it in seconds.

People keep having sex even in bad conditions. In the absence of contraceptives, that leads to pregnancies.
Contraceptive availability globally is higher than ever, which has enabled people to choose to not have children, without giving up sex.

Both are wrong.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Ubisoft shuttering freshly-unionised Halifax studio, 71 jobs affectedEnglish
13·5 days agoNo. The idea is to stop people from acccepting a better deal to go work for a competitor. Non-competes applying when being fired or when your company gets shuttered, would leave the employees literally unable to work in their field no matter how their employment ended.
Even if that were how these contracts worked, good luck to ubisoft enforcing a non-compete for employees that worked for a legal entity that no longer exists.

Looks inside.
Industry veterans.
People you fire, are free to compete. And it’s been biting a growing chunk of the market for a while now.

How did you install kopia? What system are you on?
It needs to be running, if it is, it will follow the policy. Systemd can start it with the system, but you can also start it some other way. Or you can execute snapshots without it constantly running, via cron/script. It’s up to you.
