Sounds reasonable. Yeah, good luck. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Unfortunately it’s always a bit difficult to diagnose problems over the internet, without typing in the commands and seeing the exact output. But there should be a way to make it work, F2FS is designed for something like this.

Did you read the Wiki? You need to either pass the compress_extension option when mounting it. The Arch Wiki lists how to enable compression on all text files. And I gave you the version with a ‘*’, which enables compression for all files. Or you do a chattr -R +c ... on specific files or directories to compress them. Maybe you missed that and that’s why it doesn’t compress?!

There’s probably also a way to debug it and somehow figure out what it does and how many files/sectors got compressed on the filesystem. Linux usually buries that kind of information somewhere in /sys or /proc, or there’s special commands to figure it out. But I’m not really an expert on it.

And there’s also files which just can not be compressed any further because they’re already compressed. Most images, for example. Or music or ZIP archives. If you try to compress those, they’ll usually stay the same size.

Was pretty much clear since last year. At the latest in December when they switched to “maintenance mode”. And now they archived it.

Alternatives include Garage, SeaweedFS and RustFS.

I haven’t tried it. But looks to me you need to add “compression” when formatting it. And then later when mounting, you’d add options like compress_algorithm=zstd,compress_extension=*

Remember to enable compression. Usually the Arch Wiki is a great resource to learn stuff: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/F2FS

And don’t forget to back up your data if you’re messing around with your computer. One typo with the device names is enough to accidentally delete your harddrive.

Good call. Seems minimum for ZFS is three quarters of a Gigabyte, anyway. And definitely not made for what OP does 😆

truncate -s 128M fs.img  
parted fs.img  
  mklabel gpt  
  mkpart primary btrfs 1MiB 100%  
  quit  
sudo losetup --find --partscan --show fs.img  
sudo mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0p1  

You should be able to skip the loop device stuff and work on an actual device instead. Seems to me the limit is somewhere between 64M and 128M.

Edit: But as edinbruh said, maybe try f2fs if it’s a flash device, that’s probably a bit more lightweight?! And since I don’t know what you’re doing… If it’s embedded stuff and you’re alright with read-only, you might want to use squashfs.

Huh. My computer allows me to format a 128MB image file with brtfs. It won’t do it at 64MB though.

I think I get those emails twice a year. And it’s usually same price and double storage for the VPSes. Can recommend netcup.de as well. They used to be a bit cheaper than today, but I guess every hoster increased price within the last year.

PostmarketOS with some customizations? I think that should be possible.

I recommend Portal 2. It’s a great game.

Ah, I get it. Yes. That section is weird. And it’s unalike the bureaucrat English around it. And I’d say the call to action: “Embark on a journey […]” is pretty much like ChatGPT sounded 2 years ago. I’m fairly certain the other text comes from humans with some expertise in writing legalese or specifications, and this will be a ChatGPT snippet.

The committer also has this weird habit of naming their commits “Update Readme.md”. So I’m also fairly sure they’re not your average open-source developer using Git how it’s intended.

Most other markdown files in that specific directory smell of ChatGPT as well.

Well, in theory it’s your software anyway… In case you’re an EU citizen.

Huh, where did you find emojis? I found one lightbulb emoji in the iOS README. And some in their bio. But that’s basically it for the 7 READMEs of the various sub-projects?!

My first thought was, has someone considered filing a bug report? But boy are the issues and PRs bad. Someone linked the Xitter post, though.

Dunno what kind of state the project is in. Seems development is very active. Maybe it’s more an early tech demo? But they should probably be more upfront, if it is… And not have Ursula announce this is an App?!

And does the EU Wallet App (which it is forked from) contain the same basic design flaws?
