  • Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest

  • Meanwhile white supremacist Nazi propagandist Alex Jones destroyed so many lives it's incalculable and he gets away with not paying any of the victims which he's proven to have knowingly profited from hurting.

  • Why the sarcasm tag? I literally installed pop os the other day in like 5 minutes.

  • If every school shooter in America targeted an Epstein client pedo instead, the problem would be fixed in a few years...

  • In minutes they'd call every such killer a "trans extremist" and soon after they'd disarm trans people entirely. They've been itching for an excuse to actually do that one.

  • I'm American. People who assume my religion are weirdos and I rarely interact with someone like that. I'm pretty sure your assertion about it being related to your race is just a random ass assumption.

  • Christian Nationalism Has Captured the Republican Party

    Jump

  • I had people assuming that because I'm white and speak English, that I was religious

    Uh, what? Try as I might, I cannot make sense of this statement. The implication being: other races or cultures are not religious? Precisely the opposite of what's closer to truth.

  • Lol yeah ok

  • ‘Didn’t mention Epstein once’: Americans react to Trump’s record-breaking ‘nearly two hours of lies’ State of the Union

    Jump

  • I'm so shocked that he didn't mention the Epstein files!!! /s

    Did anyone expect him to? I'm sure it's getting hard for even him, a cold blooded lying psychopath, to claim innocence with a straight face.

  • backups

    Jump

  • You are a really confusing person. The context here is that I implemented improvements to my backup process that includes verifying the content of my backups.

    Then I explicitly restated that and added that I also have two copies locally and an off-site copy. So why did you think you needed to type 7 paragraphs explaining to me why I should do... All the things I said I am doing? Are you truly worried I spent several weekends of my life to create a redundant backup system, but I'm doing it for the wrong reasons? I have demonstrated that I understand all of this. It's pretty weird that you (and a couple others) slide into the thread to insist I haven't considered everything, all of you insisting that unless I explicitly state otherwise, whatever system I have should be treated as though huge consequences are likely if even a slight imperfection in the system exists. I would honestly be surprised if even most medium sized companies have taken as much care in implementing a backup system as I have lol.

    Jump

  • Right. The reason I don't get the post is that I thought everyone would know and see this ^

    I feel like this post is taking a picture of a cube, calling it a cube, then I'm supposed to doubt that it's a cube. Which I wouldn't...

  • I meant misleading in a relative sense. In any case, this post makes no sense to me.

  • backups

    Jump

  • Are you being willfully ignorant or obstinate?

    No one has explained why proving the data can be read end to end and matches the original is somehow lacking. Including you.

    Probably because it isn't lacking. For a home user who doesn't want to lose their files, this is more than sufficient. Especially given that I have two local backups and a cloud one. None of which is exactly cheap.

    Yes computers fail in many ways. What exactly are you people trying to accomplish here? Just give me anxiety? Do you have 14 TB of free storage space to lend me that I can use to do the full process of re-copying the backed up data to? ...

  • backups

    Jump

  • My home files are not business critical infrastructure. I'm taking several steps further than any normie would take. Keeping two backups locally, confirming their byte content, sending a subset of the files to a cloud service.

    To read your comments here it seems you think I'm extremely cavalier and reckless... Because I haven't recopied 14 TB back to their original locations to ensure that... What, copying the files works? Reading the full contents of each file and comparing to the original is somehow lacking? I don't have 14 TB in additional storage lying around to test that... Copying is a still a thing?

    It's not like I lose a billion dollars if I lose some photos. Which again, I've gone to great lengths to keep safe.

  • backups

    Jump

  • Are you sure you have all the files required?

    How could I possibly be sure of that? Obviously I've tried my best to backup everything I would ever need. For many reasons I cannot backup every single file so I've made the best decisions around that I know how.

    Are they restored with the right permissions and metadata automatically?

    Nothing about it is automatic, by design. Doesn't need to be. And permissions aren't something I particularly care about since there aren't multiple users.

    I'm backing up and verifying ~ 14 TB of files and have taken great pains to ensure I'm doing everything right.

    Any idea why I got downvoted? Also...why the quizzing?

  • ?

    Edit: I see, it's a hashing algorithm. I tried a few different algorithms and had some issues with large files, and didn't really see performance increases over md5, since it seems reading the data from disk was the bottleneck. I didn't try this one though. I wonder if it would actually be faster.

  • I don't get it. The joke is "haha it's actually not a misleading projection"... ?

  • backups

    Jump

  • I specifically stated that I verify the file content via md5 hash. And I keep original directory structure, so yes if i need to restore these I can.

    Edit: no idea what there is to downvote here. It was definitely weird to have an md5 checking script that took days to develop and confirm working as expected and which takes days to run on several TBs of files, dismissed as simply "checking that the files are there". No, it checks that the bytes present in the backed up copy match those in the original. You know, what an md5 checksum is.

  • These kinds of relentless posts finally got me to write a script that verifies all my backed up files using md5 checksums.
