  • I’m not an expert on btrfs, but I assume the inconsistencies come from deduplication, metadata, and maybe compression. I think some of them just count raw block storage, and some include the cost of metadata.

    Traditional du assumes that each file takes up it’s full space on disk which isn’t always the case on btrfs. When using btrfs backed oci images, storage can easily appear multiple times higher.

    I use btrfs filesystem usage /. I’m not sure that it is the “correct” way, but it works fairly well.

    1. Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.

    2. Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit

    3. This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.

    4. Super minor, but the codeberg team “self-hosts” their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.


  • The main advantage of having a /home partition is that you can easily preserve it during reinstalls or during a distro hop. Reinstalls used to be more common in the past when some distros didn’t allow full distro upgrades without reinstalling. See this result which is still ranked #1 on duckduckgo

    I personally use a @home btrfs subvolume which has most of the same advantages to me, and additionally allows @home and @root to share the same partition. It also allows me to use luks on everthing without bothering with lvm.



  • Section 4 is what gets me. Your rights are temporary and revokable meaning the the rest of the license doesn’t matter in the long term

    ## Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
    1. We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.
