This week has been really slow in news and releases. We only got a new Linux laptop from Kubuntu Focus, as well as new OBS Studio, Raspberry Pi OS, and LibreOffice releases.

PersistentVolumeClaimsfor snapshotting. This new feature is only supported for CSI volume drivers.An overview of volume group snapshots
Some storage systems provide the ability to create a crash consistent snapshot of multiple volumes. A group snapshot represents “copies” from multiple volumes that are taken at the same point-in-time.

Earlier today, I wrote about how I found joy in the sun radiating into a cafe I was in. Although I did not expect much sunshine today -- there were many dark-ish grey clouds in the sky -- the sun came out fully. I love the sun; the warmth, the vibrant colours as the sun hits my surroundings.
I like to reflect on moments of joy on this blog: the tiny moments throughout your day that make you feel happy, joyful, or alive. Many of these moments are what I observe; the serendipitious little things that happen as I go about my day. I wanted to try something new in this series: summarize a few little moments of joy in one post, the ones that may not make their way into a longer feature post.

Finding a tin can with a $200 detector might not make economic sense. But building a metal detector yourself doesn’t have to be hard, as [Mirko] shows in a recent post. His STM32-based pulse induction metal detector looks good and works well, as you can see in the video below.
In the world of audiophilia there are arguments that rage over the relative merits of particular components. Sometimes this can reach silly levels as in the high-end ALPS pot we once saw chosen as a volume control whose only task was to be a DC voltage divider feeding a pin on a DSP, but there are moments where such comparisons might have a bit of merit. To allow the comparison of different op-amps in a headphone amplifier, [Stephan Martin] has created a stereo amplifier board complete with sockets to take single or dual op-amp chips.
[Shahriar] of The Signal Path is no stranger to these pages and is back with another fascinating video teardown and analysis for your viewing pleasure. (Embedded below.)
