Well i don't think they are trolling i imagine they legitamately don't realize that is what the poster is wanting. It's not very clear

I use the app it is for android but it already has that feature: https://paste.tchncs.de/upload/bear-wolf-eagle

You mean before?

I have decided to use rrsync to do this.

Im using btrfs on the back drive but using ext4 on the remote devices. Wont the snapshots, if sent to a remote device be the same size as the original data?

I've tried it before but i want a situation where i dont need to use the ssh agent. I think i'm gonna go with using rrsync

I have tried but it doesn't really work in the script. You load the key into the agent but it still asks for the passphrase

Yeah, i think im gonna look into rrsync and try to set up a user with a password-less key

Thanks may have to try shelter since the camera thing has been an issue on insular and caused me to put ABSOLUTELY PROPREITARY apps on my main profile lol

So i mostly play older games (half life, skyrim, dishonored, etc) i have no issues with the mechanical drive for these. Now admittedly the larger games like skyrim i havent tried on linux only on windows but i dont see why it would be an issue.

I will probably eventually get a ssd for gaming and make the hdd purely for storage.

I have already recorded to this drive from the windows device with no issues. It is not intended to be super high quality tho. I just dont know if running over the network will go as smooth.

Rn, im leaning towards using btrfs bc it seems the performance speed between it and ext4 will be negligible and i will be testing out the driver for windows and obs over the network.

That's disappointing, but mostly i would be plugging it in to windows every once in a while. Whereas i would be running nightly backups when its hooked as a samba drive. Would i need to eject it every time i unplugged? I wouldnt mind that

And the thing is i dont mind a game trying it out. Witcher 3 and elden ring trying open world came out excellent but so many games just tack on a giant world that ends up being a collectathon or a bunch of fetch quests. Padding out games with a bunch of bullshit is just stupid

I just rsync my home dir to a backup and then rsync it to a new machine
