Yes, that's true. Then again, I'm mainly using my PC for gaming and most of what will be in /home will be game installs. I have my photos and music backups in a separate HDD.

I think at the end of the day, what I'm trying to achieve with the btrfs snapshots is to be able to roll back my OS in case a system update goes wrong, or I did something I shouldn't have. :p

On the contrary, my intention is to make snapshots of the OS (btrfs) and my idea is to store the snapshots on the /home nvme drive (ext4).

I don't know if that's the standard practice or if I'm over complicating things. My SSD is only 240Gb (I think) while my nvme is a 1Tb drive, thus the intention to store snapshots on the nvme. Maybe the 240Gb is sufficient for say a month's worth of snapshots plus the OS?

Hi all. Apologies to hijack this thread. Figured it should be OK since it's also on the topic of file systems.

Long story short, I need to reinstall Nobara OS and I plan to install Nobara on my smaller SSD drive with btrfs and set my /home folder to my larger nvme. I'm thinking of using ext4 for my /home and have snapshots of the main system stored on the nvme. Looking for a sanity check to see if this is OK or if I should be doing things differently. Thanks.

Yeah. I don't understand the point of wasting resources to create and maintain separate app rather using an open standard and let users choose their fav 2fa app.

I know that Macquarie bank uses TOTP for authorizing transactions. However, they only support TOTP via their own app and you can't use your own (eg Aegis, Authy or Google Authenticator). I don't know if they have telephone banking as I never need that service.

You say that "its use is not contingent on the use of an app; 2FA seeds are freely exportable by the user via web login". Care to elaborate on that? I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly what you're trying to say.

Interestingly I still have RIF installed and I was able to browse anonymously. NSFW subreddits are not viewable naturally.

It's not stressful driving into the office (in Sydney) during school holidays. Even better if I were WFH. Oh well.

Not too sure if Meta was involved in the XMPP thing, but either way yes they shouldn't be trusted.

You're very welcome. I saw it in another post yesterday and have been sharing it where relevant.

Like most big companies out there. Destroy competitors to be the main one that everyone has no choice but to go to.
