Just some guy saying some things
You can rerun the du command with --count-links to count hardlinks multiple times. If that shows >780GiB you have a lot of hardlinks somewhere, which you can narrow down by rerunning the command on each of the subdirectories in your home directory.
Your options would be to delete the hardlinks to decrease your total file size, exclude them from the rsync with --exclude, or repartition your SSD to a filesystem that supports hardlinks.
BTRFS supports compression and deduplication, so the actual disk space used might be less than the total size of your home directory. I’d run du -sh --apparent-size /home/sbird to check how large your home dir actually is. If it’s larger than 780 GiB, there’s your problem. Otherwise there might be hardlinks which rsync is copying multiple times; add the -H flag to copy hardlinks as hardlinks.
Felt kinda sad about it, but I feel sad most days so it’s not really any different. Hung out with a friend which was nice.
I remember doing that as a kid, the wax makes fine candles.
0/10, terrible cable management.
The next line implicates the de.mschae23.grindenchantments mod; seems like a pretty clear starting point for troubleshooting.
Your own email domain + an account at a privacy respecting email service is more than worth it. Avoids the privacy nightmare that is using Google/Microsoft for your email, and gives you the flexibility to change email providers on a whim if your current one starts doing anything you don’t like.
Online backups should be an absolute last resort in the case of something catastrophic like a house fire, not your only copy of important data. Losing them should just mean a little less redundancy in that regard.
I guess it makes it easier to find/verify the owner if they lose it? (Though there are better ways to do that). Still feels weird.
Sort your data into stuff you absolutely need to keep (personal files and such) and stuff you’d be okay with losing (less important files, device backups, downloads you can redownload, etc). Then only back up the former. As for backup medium, ServerPartDeals often has some pretty good deals on storage; they were selling refurbished 12TB drives for $80 a pop a while back.
Neptune looking real blue there as well.
A Falcon 9 does a pretty good job.
Human heaven is also cow hell, it’s a very efficient system.
I pay for several domains, as well as mailbox.org for email. Aside from that, nothing.
This is also true in America, but only if you’re not wealthy.
That’s odd, maybe it has to do with symlinks? Adding
--dereferenceto theducommand will count the file size of the files referenced by symlinks. If that doesn’t show anything abnormal, I’d compare the directory sizes between your home directory and the rsync backup and try to find where they differ significantly. If it does show a much larger size, narrow down the location of the relevant symlinks (may be a hidden directory) and either delete them or exclude them from the rsync.
