- Comment on [Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal server 4 days ago:
Sorry, I must’ve misremembered about systemd. It’s how my installs start up, and the unit file is not in the usual location for systemd units I’ve created myself, so my assumption is it came with Kopia. There is no systemd timer though, and one isn’t needed.
in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.
Was Kopia running during that time?
If you run Kopia commands, then it will perform the instructed task, and then exit. It will obviously not do anything after completing whatever command was given, as the process will have exited, leaving no kopia process running on the system.
Starting it up in in server mode
kopia server starthowever, which is what you do to have it running as a background daemon. When running, it allows you to log into the web interface or configure it via cli to do whatever you like. And as long as the process starts along with the host system, that’s all there is to it.How the daemon is set up to start, doesn’t really matter. And if you want to use your own scheduling, (cron or a systemd timer) you can do that, too.
- Comment on Looking for a Self-Hosted Music Server with Discovery & Recommendation Features 5 days ago:
My current setup, is as follows:
Personally curated music I buy and organize using Picard into folder A.
Lidarr is configured with folder C, which is a mergerfs volume consisting of folder A and B. Folder A is read-only, and any writes on C go into folder B. This way Lidarr can “see” all my existing music, while any automated downloads go into folder B.
Lidarr actually works, because it is hooked up to Soulseek using Tubifarry with ytdl as a fallback. I also have an import list hooked up to my last.fm recommendations to automatically download new stuff I might like.
When I feel like it, I go through folder B using Picard, moving things I want to keep into folder A.
To access my music, I use Jellyfin, also through folder C. My clients are Feishin and Symfonium.
In Symfonium, I use smart playlists for discovery. These playlists populate based on stuff like “unlistened tracks” or “multiple plays without being favorited” and “recently added from favorited artists”.
My favorite feature however is the tag-based endless playback which allows me to pick a track to start with, and them swipe through music with at least some kind of logic to the progression. This is my main way to browse my library.
For iOS support, look at Navidrome for the server and maybe SubStremer for the client.

- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 6 days ago:
If this form factor for ID isn’t well known enough for them to know about it, I doubt they received training on its existence.
Which means having this card will make them assume it’s fake default, therefore increasing their deluded suspicions, rather than reducing them.
- Comment on AI Is Scheming, and Stopping It Won’t Be Easy, OpenAI Study Finds 1 week ago:
Like you said, it might be impossible to avoid ascribing things like intentionality to it
That’s not what I meant. When you say “it makes stuff up” you are describing how the model statistically predicts the expected output.
You know that. I know that.
That’s the asterisk. The more in-depth explanation a lot people won’t bother getting far enough to learn about. Someone who doesn’t read that far into it, can read that same phrase and assume that we’re discussing what type of personality LLMs exhibit, that they are “liars”. But they’d be wrong. Neither of us is attributing intention to it or discussing what kind of “person” it is, in reality we’re referring to the fact that it’s “just” a really complex probability engine that can’t “know” anything.
No matter what word we use, if it is pre-existing, it will come with pre-existing meanings that are kinda right, but also not quite, requiring that everyone involved in a discussion know things that won’t be explained every time a term or phrase is used.
The language isn’t “inaccurate” between you and me because you and I know the technical definition, and therefore what aspect of LLMs is being discussed.
Terminology that is “accurate” without this context does not and cannot exist, short of coming up with completely new words.
- Comment on AI Is Scheming, and Stopping It Won’t Be Easy, OpenAI Study Finds 1 week ago:
Yes.
Who are you trying to convince?
- Comment on AI Is Scheming, and Stopping It Won’t Be Easy, OpenAI Study Finds 1 week ago:
Obviusly.
And like hallucinations, it’s undesired behavior that proponents off LLMs will need to “fix”.
But how you use words to explain the phenomenon?

You can absolutely felt cat hair.
I don’t even need needles to get my cats hairs to solidify into a ball, I just massage a bunch of it like a snowball.
- Comment on AI Is Scheming, and Stopping It Won’t Be Easy, OpenAI Study Finds 1 week ago:
Seems like it’s a technical term, a bit like “hallucination”.
It refers to when an LLM will in some way try to deceive or manipulate the user interacting with it.
There’s hallucination, when a model “genuinely” claims something untrue is true.
This is about how a model might lie, even though the “chain of thought” shows it “knows” better.

Abrubt power off shouldn’t damage the drives, but it can absolutely corrupt files that are being written, and even entirely delete things in the write cache.

Depends. If you are running it as a service that starts with the system (
sudo sysemctl enable kopia) then yes, it will use it’s own scheduler. - Comment on [Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal server 1 week ago:
The main advantages of Kopia, are speed and destination flexibility.
The off-site storage does not need to have Kopia installed. It can be a mounted network location, an FTP server. Whatever. A generic cloud storage bucket like Backblaze B2.
That’s why just a router with and external drive hooked up is able to suffice.
For all of these, you can connect multiple Kopia instances to that same destination, and each client can browse backups, restore from them, and backup their own files to the destination.
With borg, you need something like a Pi that can have borg installed. (You can also do this with Kopia, in which case the Kopia instance on the destination device is also able to manage the backups).
Kopia also beats borg and restic in speed. My daily backups typically complete within a minute or two. I used to use Duplicati, with which it was common for it to take up to an hour. When it started regularly taking more than an hour, I switched to Kopia.
- Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally 1 week ago:
No.
People keep having sex even in bad conditions. In the absence of contraceptives, that leads to pregnancies.
Contraceptive availability globally is higher than ever, which has enabled people to choose to not have children, without giving up sex.
