Uluganda OP , to linux in Bcache is amazing!: Making HDD way faster!

I’m using btrfs so I can add more drive on the fly. Saving myself from a headache. But I think bcachefs will make it infinitely easier.

Uluganda OP , to linux in Bcache is amazing!: Making HDD way faster!

For bcache, it is available in apt, I think. You just need to set the ppa. For bcachefs, I think you need to wait for 6.7 to land on Debian or compile it yourself.

Uluganda OP , to linux in Bcache is amazing!: Making HDD way faster!

In my case, it basically helps me improve random read significantly. My NVMe is fast, like 3GB/s in sequential and 500MB/s in random, but it’s only 120GB. By using it as a cache in a bcache system, once a random read is performed, the data will be copied from HDD to SSD and if the data is requested again the random read will happen from SSD instead of HDD.

Thus, using it to play modern gaming is actually do able. Game that requires fast random read, like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield.

As a lot of people in my og post mentioned, random is more important that sequential. Bcache by default disable sequential cache so you wont fill you cache to fast if a big data is being read, like watching movie, copying video, etc. That’s where Raid0 comes to the rescue. Having Raid0 with 2 drives basically double my sequential read and having 3 triples it.

Uluganda OP , to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

Now THIS is what I need.

I think I need to change my plan abit. What do you think: if I buy 2x1TB, use my sata ssd as foreground, and use 128gb nvme drive as promote drive. I still do not understand the difference between background, foreground, ans promote tho. I went back and forth both reading the guide.pdf and archwiki. Still have no idea how they actually work. It’s bleeding edge, as no one beside the developer talking about it on youtube.

However, I think I’m gonna use both linux-tkg linux-git as they are available on the aur. Tkg is the Garuda used, no? It is on chaotic-aur, so I assumed so.

Uluganda OP , to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

Yeah, I’m mega broke right now, lol. For reference, $50 for average people is around 8 days worth of salary here. And I’m unfortunately, an average people.

Uluganda OP , to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

That RAID would be the separate disks. I surely wont use it to be my / or /home disks, it’s too risky. 3x500mb should give me theoretically 300-400mbps of sequential read/write.

Thanks :)

Uluganda OP , to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

I’m an Indonesian, and 1tb of nvme here, used, is $70.

Uluganda OP , to linux in The best RAID setup for internal HDD and does it actually make sense to use it all for gaming?

I will only use it for game data. I highly value my personal data so I wont put anything remote to worthy in it, I have nas, separate drive, and even Google Drive. If it fails, the worst thing that will happen is I need to redownload all my games from Steam. It will be a bummer, but I think I should be able to restore the first game in matter of hours. My save data will be saved on Steam anyway.

Yeah, single hdd is only around 150mbps, not bad, but I saw 4 hdd can get to 600mbps, which is in realm of sata ssd. I’m just thinking to giving a shot, beside it’s only $20. If one fail, I still have 1tb.

Uluganda , to asklemmy in What single item improved the quality of your life over you got it? (Buyed it/got as present/made it)

Glasses.

Now I’m addicted.

Uluganda OP , to piracy in Asking for torrent ports and IP, or Clash rule of those.

It is. I believe it’s one of the best thing I install on my homeserver. All my family members are now using VPN, and have their tracker and ad blocked. Since I’m the one who managed the VPS, I can just destroy all the data in it in case anything went wrong.

So, can I open only one port on my torrent app and have all the incoming connections go through it? That’s neat. Clash supports port redirection, and I think I’ll use that feature. I will give you update.

I found this anime-trackers project on github, but it doesnt help, lol.

Uluganda , to piracy in Looking for the simplest means of playing videos from a USB storage device on a non-smart TV

It’s a actually pretty capable device tho. It has s905x2 processor which is on par or better than RPi4.

Uluganda , to piracy in Looking for the simplest means of playing videos from a USB storage device on a non-smart TV

I dont know if these devices are available worldwide, but we, Indonesian, have 2 cheap devices exactly for that. ZTE B860H V5 and HG680FJ. It’s like $10 without remote, and another $1 for the remote.

It came locked by one of our ISP, but you can easily unlock it and put anything you want in it. Linux, OpenWRT, or just regular Android TV. ROM choices are limitless.
