To be fair it doesn't have to be a hat. They have the pcie lane rigged up to an FPC connector similar to the DSI ones. So someone could easily design an m.2 drive enclosure, PCB, etc that just accepts the FPC ribbon and you can mount it wherever you'd like

Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere

When I was a kid we used to collect "sea glass"

It wasn't until later that I learned it was just trash that looked pretty because it had been there a while

It does support m.2 (and presumably other single-lane pcie devices via a HAT apparently.

So that's an improvement

Kopia is my favorite by far!

It's super fast and has tons of great features including cutting-edge encryption and several compression options.

It has a GUI and is cross-platform.

It can do both cloud and local/network backups.

That includes locally mounted disks, SFTP, rsync, or any network share/etc accessible from your machine as well as many cloud options.

The de-duplication stuff is also killer. If you upload the same file (or chunk of data) in different folders or even from different systems it will map them to the same backup storage potentially saving you a ton of storage space.

It also uses a rolling hash system so if you modify just a handful of megabytes from a 25GB file many times, only the megabytes of changes will need to be backed up to store the version history. You do not need to store 25GB every time you modify that file.

There's a ton of other goodies as well!

And it's all FOSS!

I use it to backup to an external hard drive, a NAS, and to Amazon S3. You can configure multiple repositories like that and have them all run at the same time (subject to their individual scheduling policies of course)

My code may be stroganoff, but it's my stroganoff

It's a proven fact that we need no more than 3 colors

Haha nope not KDE-related afaik!

Just a great FOSS project.

Did I mention it's also ridiculously fast?

It quite noticeably out-performs any other solution I've tried.

I really love Kopia.

I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.

It's really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression algorithms and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage.

Snapshots are also effortless to mount and it even supports error correction to protect against bit-flipping and other long-term storage risks.

It's also cross-platform and FOSS.

De-duplication prevents duplicate bits of data from being stored twice. Even if they are different file names or even synced from different systems.

The rolling hash/file-splitting means if you modify a 25GB file and only change a couple MB then only the changed couple MB will need to be stored. This means you can spend a month modifying small parts of a massive file thousands of times and avoid storing a new 25GB file thousands of times to archive those changes.

Ah interesting.

So unless you are watching a currently very popular video you are likely just streaming from the server where the video was originally uploaded?

Maybe in Texas.

We'll see how the lawsuit plays out
