How do I keep custom kernel modules working after kernel upgrade ? (Debian 11)
This is intended for building an rpm, but as far as I can see, you can steal the dkms commands and config file out of it: https://github.com/dm-vdo/kvdo/blob/master/kvdo.spec

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
My preferred solution is rmlint [https://github.com/sahib/rmlint] mostly because it also looks at duplicate directories. It produces a bash script instead of deleting anything itself, so you can examine it before running the script it made.

ZFS 2.2.0 (RC): Block Cloning merged
After I removed duplicates (with help of https://github.com/sahib/rmlint ), I migrated my photos to an ordinary zpool instead.

I decluttered 14,000 digital items within a few hours. Here's how I did it.
For the technically savvy among you there is an excellent open source program called ‘rmlint’ (aka. Remove Lint). It is excellent at finding duplicates and saved me terabytes of space.

Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
I use and test assorted duplicate finders regularly.
fdupes is the classic (going way way back) but it's really very slow, not worth using anymore.
The four I know are worth trying these days (depending on data set, hardware, file arrangement and other factors, any one of these might be fastest for a specific use case) are https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes , https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind , https://github.com/jvirkki/dupd , https://github.com/sahib/rmlint
Had not encountered fclones before, will give it a try.
