Proton for personal email. Not immediately needing to escape but once my free email runs out of storage I plan to switch to something else because of the concerns raised by the incident with the French climate activist.
I haven’t tried such a thing, but I remember ZFS has an option for block deduplication.
So you would set up a ZFS with block deduplication (and probably without compression - try this point out), and then you make your backup images with the dd tool and the correct block size.
Now you make always full copies and have them as normal files but they take only the disk space of the differences.
let me know if I am going about the problem in a wrong way.
I would not say “wrong way”. I’s fun to think about such things and try them out.
On the other hand I think a FAT32 can have only 32Gb. I would not mind having many of them lying around on my home NAS that has 12 Tb on RAID :-)
hmmm I think this is a bit beyond me; at this point I don’t want to create an additional side project. I might learn about the more modern spiffy file systems in a few years.
The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn't seem to have access to everything at the moment. It's a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that's how projects like this go sometimes.
