lotuspsychje!info hashdeep07:11
ubot5hashdeep (source: hashdeep): recursively compute hashsums or piecewise hashings. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.4-4 (artful), package size 119 kB, installed size 286 kB07:12
lotuspsychjealkisg: is it some sort of md5 wallet with stored hashes?07:12
alkisglotuspsychje: something like that, just a command line tool to calculate hashes, redirect > to mymd5sums.txt, and later on use them to verify the integrity07:28
lotuspsychjecool07:29
alkisgI'm worried about getting some bad sectors in my disks, and without realizing it, backing up bad versions of files, and months later eventually deleting my older good backups, forever losing the data07:31
lotuspsychjealkisg: wich brand07:33
alkisgAny brands, it's a general issue that one may face07:34
lotuspsychjeyeah07:34
alkisgBad sectors can happen in any disk, hdd or ssd...07:34
lotuspsychjei always pull out the hd physically and recover all with photorec07:34
alkisgI hope it never comes to recovery :D07:35
lordievadersmartmontools comes with smartd 😉07:35
alkisgBackups ftw! I would just feel safer if backups had md5sums too07:35
lordievaderIf set up properly it  will email you if it finds bad sectors (or other errors).07:35
ducassealkisg: use zfs, then you get checksums of your data07:35
ducassemorning all!07:35
lotuspsychjemorning ducasse07:35
alkisgFor example some time you may transfer a backup over the network, and have corrupted files that way without even having bad sectors anywhere07:36
lordievaderThough often what harddrives do if they know of bad sectors is to use a different sector.07:37
alkisgducasse: how is this integrated? E.g. if I was to open a file, and its checksum was bad, linux would issue an error in dmesg?07:37
alkisglordievader: true, but that's already too late, because the read/relocation usually fails when they realize it. It's only on writes that it's OK07:37
lordievaderFair enough07:38
ducassealkisg: yes, and if it's stored on a mirror or raidz device, it will automatically correct it07:39
alkisgducasse: thanks, I'll look into it07:39
ducasseeveryone ready for the holidays?07:48
lordievaderNeed to survive today first 😉07:52
ducasselordievader: don't you think you have good odds of that? :)07:54
lordievaderThink it will be a slow day.07:55
lordievaderSlow and quiet.07:55

BluesKajHiyas all12:00
BluesKajHey TJ-, think jk^ 's pc is pretty old, the soundcard dates from 200415:20
TJ-Yes, and the 'slowness' is because the GPU is GMA900, very little hardware acceleration support15:25
BluesKajright , it's a wonder the OS runs at all15:35
TJ-The arrogance in that person's attitude is contemptable15:55
BluesKaj I guess he thinks he's "special"  :-)15:57
BluesKajprobly blaming the gpu driver an unrelated issue , but has concluded so incorrectly15:58
BluesKajfor an unrelated issue15:59
