raitobezarius | (for snapshots) | 17:15:21 |
@linus:schreibt.jetzt | this one? https://github.com/lheckemann/prune-rs | 17:17:15 |
raitobezarius | yes | 17:18:34 |
raitobezarius | this is bcachefs official pruning tool | 17:18:54 |
K900 | I don't actually intend to keep any snapshots on the box being backed up | 17:18:58 |
K900 | I just need snapshots to get an atomic view of rocksdb | 17:19:16 |
K900 | So my backup plan was snapshot, borg, yeet snapshot | 17:19:36 |
K900 | * So my backup plan was snapshot, borg snapshot, yeet snapshot | 17:19:45 |
raitobezarius | then bcachefs subvolume snapshot just work | 17:19:54 |
K900 | Or maybe I should look into restic | 17:20:04 |
K900 | But that just changes the setup to snapshot, restic snapshot, yeet snapshot | 17:20:33 |
K900 | Oh no | 17:23:10 |
K900 | Hades 2 is out | 17:23:14 |
K900 | I guess I'll have to revisit the backups situation in a month | 17:23:25 |
ElvishJerricco | In reply to @linus:schreibt.jetzt this one? https://github.com/lheckemann/prune-rs I made something like this a long time ago except I had this weird obsession with making it a logarithmic thing instead of a date based thing. The idea is that you get the same benefits of exponential decay, but the regularity of the snapshot creation doesn't meaningfully impact anything: https://github.com/ElvishJerricco/zlogshot | 17:31:54 |
ElvishJerricco | i.e. you can create a big burst of snapshots one day and it won't make a big difference in your backup history. You can also leave your computer off for like a year and you won't find it pruning a year's worth of stuff when it comes back up | 17:32:32 |
@linus:schreibt.jetzt | yeah I saw that and thought "totally cool, I should use it" and then when the time came to use it I couldn't find it anymore :D | 17:32:35 |
raitobezarius | :D | 17:32:48 |
| @nick_kadutskyi:matrix.org changed their display name from nick_kadutskyi to nickkadutskyi. | 17:33:24 |
ElvishJerricco | it's probably not a good idea, since a lot of people care very much about the predictability of the dates of their backups :P | 17:33:29 |
ElvishJerricco | I spent... way too much time making the charts in that repo to prove to myself that it made sense :P | 17:34:48 |
| @nick_kadutskyi:matrix.org left the room. | 17:35:36 |
nim65s | I totally understand this obsession. I can't look at a moving average to low pass something and not throw refs about exponential moving average around 😅 | 19:40:25 |
| nim65s changed their display name from Guilhem to nim65s. | 19:40:36 |

ElvishJerricco | oh I never used it lol | 20:00:31 |
ElvishJerricco | I made it as a curiosity and was too afraid to trust it with anything :P | 20:00:53 |
adamcstephens | hahaha | 20:01:19 |
@linus:schreibt.jetzt | In reply to @adam:robins.wtf are you still using it? I still use my thing :D | 20:40:17 |
adamcstephens | looks neat | 20:43:21 |
