Even your brain, which is a symlink to /dev/null.

redpill me on soft links vs hard links

>what are network interfaces
soft links are like the "create shortcut" thing in windows except any program sees it as the original file
hard links make 2 indistinguishable copies of the file that only take up the space of one (and if you change one it'll change the other) and you can delete one without deleting the other
Adam Ortiz
I see, thanks
Are there any situations where you'd use a hard link instead of a soft? The hard link doesn't seem very useful because you don't have the original file name anymore
Jordan Carter
Soft links are indirect, like /brain -> /dev/null. Useful when dealing with directories or not-files.
Hard links are inodes pointing to the same data, one file that lives in multiple places. Then there is no distinction between original and link.
Zachary Johnson
The only fuckery I know about is using hard links for hobo backup snapshots
Nicholas Kelly
rsnapshot makes extensive use of hardlinks to keep backups as small as possible

Can anybody post that image containing 'Everything is an X' for different languages
Gavin Anderson
It isn't, that's just one of the reasons why Linux is considered harmful.

I use them when I want my downloads to be organized in my videos folder but continue seeding without taking up double the space.

I was going to yell hallellujah, but realized that changing the file (metadata) will still affect the seeded files and break it.

Yea this only allows renaming. You'll need full dedup if you want to edit the files.

Btrfs reflinks work well for this, basically a hard link that allows the two to diverge but retain shared blocks thanks to COW (and which, unlike hard links, can be done across subvolumes)

be me. sys admin in college, with some elevation of privs. 1990's
several new sun workstations installed all occupied. Some asshat was using it to find guitar tabs online via lynx instead of at some green terminal. I had some serious homework to do...
cat binary file to the workstations's /keyboard file.
Workstation locks, up. He goes to the help center, I tell him its broken. He leaves.
I reboot the workstation. finish my homework(it was some bull shit parallel programming language that simulated parallel computing) but I needed the graphics to see the fish simulation.
Good times in that lab.
I meet my future wife late at night in the terminal room working on her homework. Take it from a rich old fag, you should match with people that share your interests.
