Data hoarding is a truly unique experience. Just my two cents
raid is not a backup. Don’t use raid5 unless you’re using a filesystem like zfs that checksums your data. Raid5 is vulnerable to scenarios with a “write hole” that leads to bit rot.
split up your dataset into smaller more manageable datasets so you can more easily back it up in different ways like external drives, cloud storage, etc. You can then limit the dataset size to never exceed the same of your backup target.
snapshots, use them. Snapshots in your filesystem can make your backups more manageable by only sending the differential data as opposed to something like Rsync which may need to rsync an entire file.
I use ZFS and have found that compression with ZSTD works pretty well for getting extra use out of your disks but unless you have a lot of RAM and some special metadata NVME disks, don’t use reduplication as it will be a serious performance impact.
Now if you aren’t using a FOSS system like truenas and instead you’re using a system like a qnap off the shelf, the qnap hybrid backup and sync manager has a really elegant solution for doing policy based differential backups to back blaze b2 storage. Not only does this give you a copy of your data, you also get immutable points in time archives of your data.
Good luck in your data hoarding endeavors!
Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I’m thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I’ve tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it’s not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.
The only downsides are :
If NVK is good enough maybe Nvidia will consider dropping the proprietary driver because no one will want to use it and it will cost too much for them to maintain a separate driver.
A man can dream.
Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.
I wonder if this age of consolidated net access if Google, Facebook,Twitter will be for or against this.
Time to invest in some foreign VPNs.
Are there alternative firmwares available for shield?
Oh my … That’s awful. I’m just discovering this myself. Even IGN put out an article https://www.ign.com/articles/near-bsnes-remembrance

I don’t need to imagine it. I own the game and it looks like crap compared to it running on yuzu on PC. 4K 60fps is the way. Can’t go back.
Are Diablo 3 server emus any good? I haven’t looked in a long while but now I’m intrigued.
People are gonna end up forking this just to change the name :: facepalm::
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could store Flatpaked/appimage games on a USB drive indefinitely so then you could plug it into another machine and simply launch the game from it?
You know, like a video game console!
Building a machine that does everything is coming to a household near you! The rest of us, well we’ve been building custom gaming machines for one or two games for a long time.
The tooling is just getting better everyday. I don’t think Windows gaming will ever die but I think the experience has gotten bad enough that people have begun seeking alternatives. If this wasn’t true I don’t think that the SteamDeck would be so successful.
With that being said, I don’t tell everyone to try Linux. I do think that Linux is good for gaming but just hard to use for most gamers. I’ll probably buy a steam deck OLED in March just to “do my part” even though I have far too many custom machines and not enough time to enjoy playing the games.
So just to put this out there. https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/
Universal Blue has some really good ideas. I really think immutable and atomic updating linux distros are the future. Most applications have flatpaks available.
Bazzite has alot of gamer forward features, has Nvidia specific builds, and even supports a SteamDeck replacement version of their OCI images.
Even though people may not like Fedora, I think universal Blue solves a lot of the Fedora style problems people experience.
There are also BlendOS and VanillaOS but I haven’t tried them with NVIDIA GPUs.
Nice. The adoption of Glorious Egroll’s UMU project is a good thing for all.
