  • The backups with time shift are incremental, hence most of the time the backup is taken within seconds and it only stores changes over time, something similar to git.

    I used to do it exactly for that uses case, the backup was quick because there generally are not much changes outside the home directory.

    I used to have Daily backups and monthly backup like 20 different dates stored in a relatively small space.

    Like if my system is 30 gb then a 50 gb backup partition would store months of daily backups.


  • Not answering your question but I had installed btrfs on my fedora install, thought I would use it for backups and system restores using snapshots.

    But I felt there was always a performance tradeoff when doing a lot of writes like npm install and stuff.

    Eventually replaced btrfs with ext4 and backup solution like timeshift.

    I would say if you want system recovery then tools like timeshift make it really really simple and straightforward taking backups and restoring them.

    Sometimes you just don’t need a Swiss army knife to do most basic stuff.



  • the Orb as a powerful tool to verify people’s identities and prove someone is really human at a time when artificial intelligence deepfakes are becoming more convincing.

    My goverment ID ( India aadhar card ) already has my my biometric taken using eyes.

    And I can verify my identity using eyes.

    I don’t understand how this is anything new except it’s private company.
