I really liked Barry.

Nothing you’d actually switch to.

An opinionated distro with an opinionated DE on an opinionated compositor.

Yah, no thanks. Fill your boots.

I like NC and use it primarily for file sync. I think this would create a fragile maintenance nightmare for the sake of saving a few MB of storage and memory.

I stopped buying books from Amazon long ago because their Android app is such dogshit. I can’t imagine going to this much trouble to continue giving them money to reward their terrible engineering.

Put it in a tiny box and starve that fucker.

I like it.

You can do a sanoid sync to another zpool or dataset on the same machine or a remote host, they behave the same. It’s replicating that dataset on the other machine, then sending the snapshots after that point over via zfs send. You can instruct sanoid to prune those snapshots after the send and start new ones for the next send, or just accumulate them so you have points in time to revert to.

IIRC, you can send a zfs snapshot to a file, but I can’t recall how to do that, so AFAIK, you can’t just send it to a file based service like Onedrive. You can use a service like zfs.rent and send them a harddrive with your base sync on it (encrypt it) and then once they’ve brought it online, you can sync to that. Best to test out your methods with the drive hooked up locally.

I know it’s anathema to Lemmy, but the best help you’ll get is Claude where you can paste the errors in and have it sort it out for you as you troubleshoot. It’s pretty good at shit like that.

If you’re already running ZFS, sanoid would be an option.

I find some of the workflows in it a bit strange, like not having an Add button on the list of host proxies, it’s a separate menu item on the left which weird. And the way you request a SSL cert by hitting OK and then you get a popup asking if you want a cert, and you’d better have already set your options for how you want the cert, but if you create a host without a cert you have to go through all the options again and check them because it doesn’t keep track of your preference.

IDK, in any case it fixed a bunch of problems I was having with NPM so it has that going for it, which is nice.

Take a look at Zoraxy or NPM.

pacman -Syuuuuu

Suck it, mirrors.

See, this is what happens to people when Linus chews them out.

Might need some therapy now.

You have to just reiser to the job.

And peas. And alfalfa. And clover.

Those are just the nodulating legumes I grow.

Oh, people will keep using it no matter how much you warn them.

Proxmox-helper-scripts is a perfect example. They’ll agree with you until that site comes up, and then its “it’ll never, ever get hacked and subverted, nope, can’t happen, impossible”.

Wankers.

Men have better peripheral vision.

Try Activities.

Plasma’s Activities make up for some of my monitor shortfalls.

It was (and still is) the default input focus to the Search box on the Save dialog. Why? Just… why? Why would I ever want to start typing in the Search box when I’m saving a file. I have never, ever thought to myself as I saved something that I should search for something to name this thing I’m saving after something else somewhere on this filesystem.

And apparently discontinued. Goddammit.
