Ah yes, another riveting tale of how a was saved by the mighty , the of algorithms 🦸‍♂️. Who knew that the ultimate adventure would be trading pixelated fun for tedious file space management? 📦✨ Remember folks, when in doubt, always make sure your personal boundaries for code copying are intact. 🙄

🧵 n/n 👀 see thread, above

Mistral small 3, via duck.ai / #duckduckgo seems to produce similarly useful results.

ZFS compression seems to be a localhost kinda matter, regardless of the role of localhost in the network - zfs set compression on ALL the localhosts, i guess! 😉

Oh my, how unexpected! 👀
Now i'm curious!

#ZFS #compression settings don't seem to get replicated, via zfs send/recv?

My intention was zstd-fast compression on both sides - the working copy (um780xtx) AND the replication/backup target (elitedesk).

I kinda don't want to bother @allanjude, again - he's likely busy enough, dealing with more important stuff, than some internet rando's #Steam library backups. 🤣 (👀 img alt txt) (edit: 🧵 1/n)

#Linux #Gaming #Manjaro #Ubuntu

the zfs compression setting of my "working copy" on um780xtx DID NOT replicate to my backup target box (elitedesk), using zfs send & recv (my replication command: zfs send -c bigNVME/SteamLibrary@20260305 | pv | ssh elitedesk.lan zfs receive -v tank/backup/SteamLibrary)

Poe called himself a magazinist, not a poet. He said the age demanded 'the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused.'

He also debunked the Mechanical Turk: a chess automaton secretly operated by a hidden human: while praising Babbage's Difference Engine. He preferred the honest machine over the deceptive one.

I think about this a lot.

Recommend everyone these two programs for single and batch photo and video compression. They let you cut the file size by ~80% without any noticeable loss in quality

CompressO -> github.com/codeforreal1/compre
Caesium Image Compressor -> github.com/Lymphatus/caesium-i

Save some space, guys!

Рекомендую всем эти две программы для одиночного и массового сжатия фото и видео. Позволяет урезать вес на ~80% без заметной потери качества

CompressO -> github.com/codeforreal1/compre
Caesium Image Compressor -> github.com/Lymphatus/caesium-i

Экономьте место ребята!

@kitami Merci pour cette procédure de #compression de #photos. En plus c'est hyper simple et facilement scriptable en #bash avec #imageMagick. Et merci pour l'idée. J'étais justement en train de me dire que j'avais tout de même une sacrément grosse quantité de #sauvegardes à dupliquer et à archiver, lors d'un changement de disque sur mon #NAS.
Pour la suite je n'ai pas fait comme toi tout de même : je ne suis pas allé faire une balade et shopping avec ma fille 😃, ni j2s et raclette.
