  • I haven’t wanted an Intel processor for years. Their “innovation” is driven by marketing rather than technical prowess.

    The latest batch of 13900k and again with 14900k power envelope microcode bullshit was the final “last” straw.

    They were more interested in something they could brand as a competitor to ryzen. Then left everyone who bought one (and I bought three at work) holding the bag.

    We’ve not made the same mistake again.

    Intel dying and its corpse being consumed by its competitors is a fairy tale ending.








  • Backup backup backup! If you have btrfs them just take a snapshot first: instantly.

    One could do a non-destructive rename first. E.g. prepend deleteme. to the file name, sanity check it, then ‘rollback’ by renaming back without the prefix or commit and delete anything with the prefix.




  • I have exactly the same problem.

    I got as far as using fdupe to identify duplicates and delete the extras. It was slow.

    Thinking about some of the other comments… If you use a tool to create hardlinks first, then one could then traverse the entire tree and deleting a file if it has more than one hardlink. The two phases could be done piecemeal and are cancelable and restartable.
