Definitely better late than never. But this could have been done years ago.

you might want to add borg, restic and - more recently - plakar to that list

Why not something like NAS4Free or OpenMediaVault, then? You don’t have to chose between DIY and paid-for, there is a middle-ground

Is RiMusic dead?

their snapshots are marked as copy on write, so my assumption is that for every write, there is replication somewhere.

I might be wrong here, but my understanding is that their snapshots are the kind we find in modern filesystems (ZFS/BTRFS/…) : that is a point-in-time kind of functionnality, where a file will be duplicated (and the original version then will only belong to the snapshot) only when it is written to. This is just the way snapshots are implemented here - and a rather common way of doing it efficiently - not a reliability feature.

I don’t mean automatically replicate anything, that would be pointless. But I’m still a reddit user myself, and from time to time I stumble onto something interesting, and I’d like to let it live on Lemmy as well.

I don’t know how ethical it would be, and maybe it already exists, but a tool to replicate a Reddit post directly on a Lemmy instance could be useful

There’s no such thing as a “dating league”. People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual.

Exactly this. I can’t deal with anymore “rating” of people’s attractiveness, as daily seen on Reddit and the such. Beauty, attractiveness, and overall interest a person generates is highly (if not solely) dependent on said interest’s other end.

There is something deeply flawed in trying to put people into small, numbered boxes.

this. that’s why a model is as good as its known margin of error and limits

and it’s important to remember models work well outside of edge cases ; in your speedometer example, if you brake on ice and your car drifts out of control, the speedometer will show no speed, when you’ll probably have one … but in most cases, it’s a good enough model

Nope, doesn’t seem so at all. I’ll stay with the web version of LibreOffice, myself (and OnlyOffice as a second choice if the first one were to went south)

And keep in mind that cutting ALL sugar out of your diet (which, luckily enough, isn’t that easy to do) will starve your brain and make you feel increasingly stupid. It’s only after my last week-long fast that I’ve read that our brains can’t really work on glycogen (ketosis-produced “sugar”).

live a few more years

And see more of your children, maybe even your grand-children. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Yeah, I think I recognized him, but couldn’t find a half-decent pun on his name. Van Hamme was the closest I could find, look-wise.

Jean-Claude Van Horn ?

I discovered Trilium a couple days before discovering the project was dead. But here is TriliumNext now so it’s not that much of a problem (yay opensource!)

Works great on a computer, not as much on a phone. There are android apps to send directly something to it, but reading its content involves the webapp directly… which isn’t that bad but overall that’s not ideal. Still, after years of trying floss journaling apps one after another, it’s the only one I kept more than a couple weeks.

Seeing RocketChat in here, when they’ve been actively moving away from opensource for several years now, is at least a bit funny.

I’ve recently discovered Trilium : markdown, electron app but works in pure web too if you host it somewhere, opensource, UX is ok by my standards, and the mobile web app works on Android too. And there is something of an ecosystem around, with extensions for browsers and the such. Sadly, I’ve also (and as recently) discovered its development was halted.

But there’s hope, and a TriliumNext project has seen light, which took right where Trilium stopped (and, from what I understood, they’re still mostly compatible at that point).
