I think Apollo was for Android as well.

Yeah, I got confused with the dragon picture as well 😂.

Why autism 🤨?

(“CAT” from “Caterpillar” - yeah, they make phones)

Not really, they’re just rebranded Chinese no name phones.

Still, yes, they are good.

tl;dr?

RustDesk

That being said, it’s developed by Chinese and communication with them is tough. Some security issues still haven’t been patched (no one actually knows why, they either don’t reply why or reply in Chinese with a cryptic message like “why ask this” or something weird like that). They’re also notoriusly against anyone speaking anything against them (I once commented on their subreddit that the devs are mostly Chinese, so communication is kinda difficult, after someone asked why they don’t reply or give scarce replies regarding issues and PRs on their GH).

Still, it’s free and open source, so you can give it a spin if you’d like. The servers that come by default are super slow, the idea is to make your own (which kinda beats the point of actually having some sort of a replacement for TeamViewer or AnyDesk… if I wanted to set up my own server, there are other open source alternatives), which drew me away from it from the start.

I still use AnyDesk with version 7.0.14 for Windows and version 6.0.1 for Linux. The older Windows versions because there is no red bar over the window that says “free version” or whatever and the older version for Linux because it just works better than the latest one (6.2.x), I have no idea why.

I’m nowadays using bcachefs…

Haven’t heard of this FS, so I checked the specs… was actually hoping to see a working RAID5/6 feature, but as it stands now it only supports RAID1/0/10. Too bad, would’ve considered it as a viable option to mdadm + BTRFS.

It said the code base was build on something stable, but it didn’t say what, do you happen to know what FS this project is a fork of?

NP, glad I could help 😉 👍.

Nah, I got it set up on a P4 with a 20GB drive, takes about 2 or 3GB. As time progresses, older snapshots get deleted automatically by Timeshift 😉. So, say you got 4 daily set up, 4 weekly and 2 montly. Only the last 4 daily, 4 weekly and 2 monthly stay, the rest are deleted as new snapshots are created. That’s the while point of having this setup, so you can go back in time, but you decide how long.

Yep, you’re doing it right… or at least that’s how I do it as well, lol 😂.

A snapshot is exactly that, a snapshot. It doesn’t take forever to create, like with rsync, it litelarly takes a second, even on very old rigs (775 or even older). It’s basically a snapshot of what the current drive holds. If a file changes (gets added, removed, whatever), the snapshot grows cuz it needs to hold the older versions of the files (the ones saved at the time of the snapshot).

This might not be exactly how snapshots work in BTRFS, but this is what I gathered from using it with snapshots enabled. The older the snapshot, the larger the size of the snapshot (takes way more room cuz more changes have occured).

Also, it’s wise to set up daily, weekly and monthly snapshots. I have it set up to hold 5 or 6 (can’t really remember now) daily snapshots, 4 weekly and 2 montly. So basically, I can go back in time for a max of 2 months. I was thinking or raising the montly snapshots to 3 or 4, but I’m still not sure. Still, I wouldn’t go lower than 2.

It’s more or less a standard that describes how UNIX compatible OSes are supposed to work. That includes the APIs/ABIs as well.

At least that is how I understand it.
