KurtJMac started Far Lands or Bust in 2011, and reached 9.9 million blocks earlier this month.

That sounds pretty much like what Dirvish and rsnapshot do. Both wrap rsync.

Does your FS support online resizing?

Yeah. I mainly use btrfs; it supports online growing and shrinking.

Be super careful about partition sizes. […]

I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.

Have backups.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish

Nah, it’ll be fine.

I might have a large enough USB SSD laying around some where. I could probably use that instead.

• extend VG with the USB PV
• move LV’s to USB
• shrink root LV
• resize boot
• move things back on a new internal PV

That’s not even a bad idea then.

One of my machines has a boot partition that’s a bit too small, on an otherwise LVM setup.

Good grief. Why?

If you really rely on faster movement than what gyro+classic joystick provides: try gyro+flickstick.

Flickstick does require some game specific tweaking. But it’s the only controller input method my “30 years of playing fps on PC”-riddled brain accepts.

• Single player (desktop): After finishing Red Faction Guerrilla, and trying Red Faction Armageddon but not really liking it, I settled on Just Cause 2 (again). Still as much fun as in 2013, when I last played it.
• Single player (Deck): more Deep Rock Galactic:Survivor.
• Co-op (desktop): Deep Rock Galactic, if my co-op buddies don’t bail, that is.

jdupes is my go-to solution for file deduplication. It should be able to remove duplicate files. I don’t know how much control it gives you over which duplicate to remove though.

I think the only TK-based tools I have ever uses are gitk and git gui. And even those I have mostly replaced with tig and lazygit

• The Outer Worlds - Had this in my library for a while. Coming from the Borderlands franchise, I tried BG3, and accept that it’s a good game. It just doesn’t click for me at the moment. TOW is a nice mix of RPG and FPS.
• Deep Rock Galactic - Is my current “co-op with buddies” game.
• Vampire Survivors - 'nuff said, I guess
• Maniac - Vampire Survivors meets classic 2D GTA. Imagine the GTA Kill Frenzy thing, but that’s the whole game.

Can we please not accuse everybody of being AI

Suspicious. /s

But rises again, harder and stronger.

[standing ovation]

My RX 6850 decided to die on me, just when I finally had the motivation to continue BG3 and/or The Outer Worlds. So I’ve been playing mostly Vampire Survivors on the Deck. Had some catching up to do on the new content anyway.

You’ll want to look into a category of programs called dotfiles managers. There’s a bunch of them. Most of them are based on some kind of version control system, usually git.

I personally use yadm

There’s a committee that meets every 3 months and takes in suggestions from the public.

Sorry for the late reply.

I don’t know if ROC can do multicast on its own. I use the Pipewire source and sink. And I only do the one-to-one setup.

I did some tests in Pipewire:

Configuring multiple sinks is possible on a machine. They simply present as additional output devices. So if you want to switch audio to another source, that should be doable by switching to another output device.

Doing one-to-many: I don’t know if that is possible with ROC alone. You might be able to do something with Pipewire graphs

I’m currently using ROC on my laptop and desktop. Latency is low enough to not be noticeable when playing video on my laptop and streaming audio to the desktop. Audio can get a bit choppy if my laptop is on WiFi. But that is most probably because the signal between the repeater on the second floor and my DSL modem on the ground floor is pretty meh.

ZRAM/ZSWAP is a thing on Linux at least. But that doesn’t compress actively used RAM. That’s just compressed swap space in memory.
