This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just use cloud storage indeed, they may detect that it was already stored and just store it once but give many people access.

I just use btrfs duplication so it’s easy and doesn’t waste additional space. Pirates of old used caves near an X, but risk of must. I don’t use X because of musk.

Does it count as a pirated copy if it's deduped? 🤔

Just because the datablocks are deduplicated the filenames would be uniqe.

But would that mean that a symlink is also a pirated copy? 😄
