This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

COW filesystems like BTRFS/ZFS with btrbk/sanoid are great for this. Only the initial copy may take a while, but after that it only takes the delta between the source and the destination to synchronize. On my main Server I have the OS on a single drive with BTRFS and all the actual data lives on a 4 disk zpool in raidz2. I have cron jobs set up to do hourly snapshots on both and I keep about a week worth of history. The BTRFS one gets synced to an external drive every 24 hours, while the zpool gets synced to another external 4 disk zpool on a weekly basis.

I always seem to inherit the most awfully managed NTFS systems. I really need to migrate our current system to ZFS or BTRFS, but I don't get paid enough to deal with that.

Plus the company owner is someone who was middle management in on an IT department for years so he's always rambling on about some stupid proprietary system he remembers from 40 years ago at a sales conference.
