So, a savings of about 88:1. > > What statistics are other readers seeing for similar use-cases and their > backup solutions? 8.07 TiB physically stored on one backup drive holding 174 backups; 11.4 TiB total logical (excluding effects of compression) data on the source; 7.83 TiB hot current logical data on the source (excluding things like ZFS snapshots and compression). Which by your way of calculating seems to work out to an about 246:1 savings compared to simply keeping every single copy in full and uncompressed. (Which would require almost 2 PB of storage.) But this figure is a bit exaggerated since there are parts of the backups that I prune after a while while keeping the rest of that backup, so let's be very generous and call it maybe a 100:1 savings in practice. Which is still pretty good for something that only does raw copying with whole-file deduplication. I have a wide mix of file sizes and content types; everything from tiny Maildir message files through photos in the tens of megabytes range to VM disk image files in the tens of gigabytes range, ranging from highly compressible to essentially incompressible, and ranging from files that practically never change after I initially store them to ones that change all the time. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”

More on getting Stable Diffusion working: CUDA
Hi, So I finally found a scripted way to get SD going on my PC using venv. It works, but it complains about not being able to use the GPU via CUDA. This ASUS PN53 has a Radeon 600M GPU. Any suggestions on actually being able to use it for AI? Thanks. -Carl Fink

According to this page (https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-for-amd-rocm-platform-now-available-as-python-package/) that GPU is not supported by PyTorch. Oh, well. -Carl Fink

I have a Dell R320 fitted with 8 1T SAS drives, the hardware raid is turned off as OpenMediaVault uses sorfware RAID. If I turn the hardware raid on can I use Debian as the opperating system? Thank you for any help, David.

Hi David, In general, outside of certain relatively niche use cases, I believe software raid is to be preferred due to comparable performance and lack of future hardware compatibility/availability issues. See for example (if with some contradictions) https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/tip/Key-differences-in-software-RAID-vs-hardware-RAID Debian supports software raid, in the form of MDRAID. I seemm to recall this is usually combined with LVM. OpenZFS may be of interest, possibly root on ZFS too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenZFS https://openzfs.org/wiki/System_Administration https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Debian/index.html There doesn't seem to be documentation for root on zfs for bookworm yet. I imagine the bullseye instructions, suitably adapted for repositories etc, might suffice, but I upgraded a root on ZFS installation from Buster to Bullseye to Bookworm (following the release notes in each case) so haven't tried to install from scratch in years. You will need to turn hardware raid off in either case (MDRAID or ZFS) If you have actual raid controller cards, that may not be possible iiuc - I'm sure someone (maybe even me) could advise if you provide details of raid hardware if relevant.

One possibility is that espoused by Outlook (which we all know is such a paragon of email etiquette(!)), namely "You are not responding to the latest message in this conversation". That is, I can envision a situation where someone wishes to respond to a point in the email thread but, rather than replying to the individual message in question, replies at the bottom of the chain, perhaps for reasons of "visibility".

Which by your way of calculating seems to work out to an about 246:1 savings compared to simply keeping every single copy in full and uncompressed. Without seeing a console session, I am unsure what you mean by "physically stored", "total logical (excluding effects of compression) data", and "hot current logical data ... (excluding things like ZFS snapshots and compression)". What partitioning scheme, volume manager, file system, compression, etc., do you use on your backup server? I had thought you were using rsnapsnot/ rsync --link-dest, but you also mention ZFS snapshots. Please clarify. David
Fixed the ethernet problem and know I have no sound!
I use an all in one Lonova computer. I have the latest Bookworm installed and had my wired connection kept shutting itself off. I looked it up on the net and yesterday I installed ethtool and today I have my wired connection working but no sound. I did find all my settings as they have been which is on. I did lspic and found this information: 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio DeviceName: Onboard - Sound Subsystem: Lenovo 200 Series PCH HD Audio Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 129, IOMMU group 7 Memory at df22 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at df20 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel I could use some help with this one.

You need to buy a new accumulator ("battery") for your machine.
When the optical drive cannot read CDs anymore, try to clean the lens.
If that doesn't work, replace it. Notebook optical drives are
standardized, only the cover is different. Unmount the front cover from
your current optical drive and mount it to the new one.

Maybe there are multiple sound cards (e.g. graphics card with HDMI or DP, USB headsets). Make sure the application plays the sound on the device where you want it.
