@mur2501

@mur2501 I can think of worse problems to have :)

@mur2501 Delete this right now! :)

@nivex I am one, check out my ROES project by looking at the #ROES hashtag.its a VNA-like SWR meter using an arduino at the heart.

@swiley I've come across about half a dozen in the past.

@thunder@tilde.zone not even surprised

@SEEK

I accept puppies and beer as payment btw

@mur2501

@astrotoot@mastodon.online WOOT!!!

@astrotoot@mastodon.online

7 possible words I came up with: rapidity, nativity, facility, salinity, lability, validity, vapidity

Of all these words if you count how many times each possible letter might fill a blank L is the most common occurring 4 times. So your best choice of a next letter would be L.

@thewismit anytime

@thewismit If its your root FS best to do it off a boot medium.

yes BTRFS will detect and compensate for bad sectors, most FS can and will.

@seek I know right

I know they say women have a higher tolerance for pain and all but....

@thewismit The filesystem itself actually handles all the heavy lifting. btrbk is a very very small script that does little more than call a handful of commands. Frankly you dont really need it at all considering that btrfs already has all the backup functionality built into it.

The only thing btrbk is handling for you is that it deletes old backups according to a roll-over schedule. The process of making the backups, or restoring them, is all handled by the filesystem.

Remember btrfs has backups and restores built in as a first class citizen of the filesystem, so if you want to lookup how to do something in that realm search for the filesystem itself.

But to cut to the chase.. if you have a snapshot somewhere and want to restore it, its literally one command (which comes with the file utils for btrfs):

btrfs subvol snapshot /mnt/${snapshot} /mnt/Butters/ROOT

That would restore a snapshot to ROOT location, notice your using the btrfs command directly.

@lucifargundam

Depends on the nature of the data and how its represented. The most trivial form and the one that would apply in this case is by represented data per-capita rather than absolute..

So instead of saying "In place X there are Y people affected" you would say "In place X there are Y out of every 1000 people affected"

In essence you sample the percentage of the local population affected rather than the count.

This can be much more complex however in certain situations, but thats the main jist of it.

@lucifargundam

You will find strong correlation with population density (or anything that is dependent on population density without being normalized) and almost anything. It is the reason why in statistics we **always** normalize and if you dont then its simply useless data.

This is where so much political bad-data to argue an agenda comes from. You'll notice it all the time when someone tries to argue political policies particularly bad ones.
