  1. Lots of gentle thunder rumbling through the #HudsonValley. I love listening to it, even though it freaks the dog out.

    Tried to cut the grass earlier but the self propel on my #ToroRecycler crapped out (again). Had to push the heavy machine through tall grass before the rain started. Now my back hurst. I really hate the Personal Pace feature, the stupid belt slips off more times than I care to admit. I miss the disk drives on the old #Snapper machines.

  5. Can anyone guess what my fix was for ”Why is Mattermost always down in the early morning hours!?” 😅

    Hint: Maybe should by default ignore the very repo it is backup-ing into...

    UPDATE: Sorry, wrongly blamed @borgbackup - the backup included a snapshots directory (which itself included the borg repo *several times* 😅). Although the inodes are equal, so borg could check that...

  7. Huh, I guess #snapper is now orphaned on #NixOS. I‘m not adopting it, packaging this must be awful. There are paths to binaries everywhere, some in includes.h, some in configure.ac, some are autodiscovered at compile time using $PATH, some aren‘t, some have broken autodiscovery. (The latter with snbk specifically, snapper itself is thoroughly tested.)
    It would probably be better to just find an alternative, or to finally learn C++ and Autoconf and try to fix it upstream.

  8. @hhf
    Tell that to the broken #NixOS #snapper #snbk binary. It still looks for btrfs-progs at /usr/bin.

  9. I wanted to automatically make boot options for snapper snapshots and ended up making these

    https://codeberg.org/grafcube/uki-efi-boot
    https://codeberg.org/grafcube/uki-snapper

    uki-efi-boot automatically scans directories in your esp for efi executables and adds entries to your UEFI boot options while uki-snapper automatically creates boot entries/UKIs for snapper snapshots.

    It has been working flawlessly so far. I use secure boot so I have to configure uki-snapper to build new images for each snapshot so I configured it to generate no more than 2 to fit in my esp. It also only works on arch right now since it depends on mkinitcpio but contributions to expand support are very welcome.

    I hope someone finds these scripts useful

    They're available on the AUR as well.

  11. This is pretty cool, would love to see this integrated in a distro. (maybe #NixOS? but it's also very close to what #Snapper does.)
    "When I type ounce nano /etc/samba/smb.conf (I actually alias $EDITOR='ounce --trace $EDITOR'), ounce knows that it's smart and I'm dumb, and it sees that I just edited /etc/samba/smb.conf a few short minutes ago, because it uses seccomp and eBPF to trace all the file open calls my $EDITOR makes, and uses httm to check whether I have any un-snapshot-ed changes. If I do, it takes a snapshot before I edit the file again."

  13. @[email protected] on root to get / system rollback capabilities. on `/home`. `/home` rollback is based on backups to external storage.

  14. Turns out that in the latest #MetlinkWGTN price hike, they've fixed the #Snapper penalty fare SNAFU that meant I could save 10% by "forgetting to tag off".

  16. ​:niko_spin:​ New blog post!

    By following this guide, you will have what is, in my opinion, the optimal setup to daily drive a rolling release distribution, such as Arch Linux.

    If you have any kind of problem after updating your system, you'll be able to boot into a previous snapshot and rollback to it, as if nothing had happened.

    It's basically like time travel for your computer, but better. Because you'll be able to choose what gets rolled back and what doesn't, so that you don't lose any of your recent work.
    I started working on this a while before publishing the previous post. I really hope this is helpful to whoever reads it! ​:kurisuthumbsup:​

  17. New Year, New Project:

    I started working on a script that can restore previous versions of files based on #Snapper #BTRFS snapshots.

    Currently, it uses Dmenu, but I would love to integrate this type of functionality into a graphical file manager such as #Nemo (from the @linuxmint project).

    At this point, I have no idea how to do it.

    If you are interested, hit me up, star the repo, add issues, fork it, do a PR!

  19. Dear #BTRFS #Snapper users, I have a question.

    I set up a system to snapshot my root directory into a `snapshots` subvolume mounted at `/.snapshots` . I use #systemd homed for my home directories as separate subvolumes, which, at this point, I don't exactly understand how it works (the home directories are supposedly btrfs subvolumes).

    Could I use snapper to snapshot my home directory into the same `snapshots` subvolume?
