DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers
I trust DeepSeek Open Source if it allows me to copy and review it. I don't trust OpenAI like ChatGPT.

About as open source as a binary blob without the training data
Open sources will eventually surpass all closed-source softwares in some day, no matter how many billions of dollars are invested in them.

List of useful BTRFS tools
Reply in thread
Arch Wiki Limine mentions:
- Supports booting into selected Snapper snapshot. Offers two different methods for restoring a system snapshot: rsync or btrfs.
- After restoring a snapshot, a "backup" entry is added to the Limine bootloader, providing an easy way to revert to the "backup" if needed.
- Automatically repairs corrupted bootable files from old snapshots on the ESP when a new snapshot with the same bootable files is created.
- Automatically logs error messages about potential hardware issues if two hashes of the same bootable file do not match on the ESP.
- Testing read-only snapshots: Use overlayfs to test any installed packages on an immutable-like system without modifying the original data. Note that this does not mean testing the boot partition or a separate home subvolume/partition.

Can't boot into snapshots via rEFInd
From what I've heard, the Limine bootloader supports booting and restoring snapshots with LUKS2 using limine-snapper-sync utility. Its setup is easier than refind-btrfs

Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.
I wanna encrypt my BTRFS system, but not the FAT32 boot part. Only the Linux kernels are on FAT32 anyway, and I don’t care about encrypting those — they’re public stuff, not private files. I just let limine-entry-tool hash them to make sure they’re clean for booting, that’s totally fine for me.
I don’t like putting kernels on the Linux filesystem for GRUB — it just makes booting slower and causes random issues.

Arch install dual boot issue
I installed Limine, which makes dual-booting easier to configure than grub and systemd-boot.
limine-dracut-support helps me automatically manage kernel entries.

I highly recommend journalctl-desktop-notification
I came across systemd-timer-notify, this is useful for me

At what point is your system bloated?

How does rEFInd display multiple snapshots?
Would having 30 snapshots clutter rEFInd screen with oversized icons in a single horizontal row? or does it have a way to group or manage them efficiently?
