That rpmfusion package looks like trouble, can you uninstall it or all of rpmfusion before upgrading? I also see internet problems here also so you might be better off fixing that first.
Upgrade from compression tools to backup tools. Look into using restic (a tool with dedup, compression and checksumming) on a filesystem which also checksums and compresses (btrfs/zfs) - that’s probably most reasonable protection and space saving available. Between restic’s checks and the filesystem you will know when a bit flips and that’s when you replace the hardware (restoring from one of your other backups).
Are you using RAID at all? If so ZFS is probably the way to go. If not I think it matters less whether you use either btrfs or ZFS.
Regarding btrfs and power loss:
…btrfs is designed to only experience data loss not corruption, assuming well behaving hardware in power outage scenario. In practice ZFS has more maturity overall (definately) so may be better (my speculation).
Beyond direct comparisons if you already have on and offline backups then you are protected from power corruption and only have to worry about data loss anyway?
That looks a very useful tool, thanks. I think it could be just the thing for bulk renaming photos to standard names.
Thank you for this. I think this has some of the operations I need, I will dig into the code.
So git-annex should let you just pull down the files you want to work on, make your changes, then push them back upstream. No need to continuously sync entire collection. Requires some git knowledge and wading through git-annex docs but the walkthrough is a good place for an overview: https://git-annex.branchable.com/walkthrough/
I seem to get pop-up notifications for free in GNOME/Fedora by setting these levels in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf:
UsePercentageForPolicy=true
PercentageLow=50
PercentageCritical=20
PercentageAction=10
I think you can also configure the system to take action when it reaches the lowest level with e.g.
# The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been
# reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer
CriticalPowerAction=PowerOff
However I don’t know how to get these GNOME “Power” notifications to play an audible sound (without turning on notification sounds for ALL notifications). The best I could find is this: David Bazile / gaudible · GitLab
There’s talk of better control of sound notifications in GNOME 47+, but looks like nothing much has landed yet: Notifications in 46 and beyond – GNOME Shell & Mutter
Yes it’s not too much bother to set this up, it can be put into ansible and once working I’ve not had to touch it again. Here’s another dracut tool using dropbear that works well and has decent instructions on setup: dracut-crypt-ssh
