It drives me bonkers.

And, unfortunately, when I mention this issue I'm am frequently assured that I am mistaken and that there can be no issue. (paraphrasing).

It's a real problem - I live Firefox (with its standards compliance) but people didn't adhere. And here we are.

For sure - but it's a matter of getting accustomed to vi. I also prefer to really understand what each add on does. Not ruling out pre-packaged, but am working through assembling my own config first.

And then there's learning vi (I can use it, it's just not yet second nature).

What could possibly go wrong...?

(FWIW - I am referring to the potential for misuse at scale)

I'm waffling between that or just setting up a bare git repo. Am prepping a VM or two to explore the pros/cons of each approach and to dive into the implications.

It's funny - this project idea seems to free bubbling up everywhere this past week. I'm sure I'm seeing the consequences of search algorithms, but on Lemmy, it's nice to see what is a definite and pleasant coincidence.

Can you not just backup the pg txn logs (with periodic full backups, purged in accordance with your needs?). That's a much safer way to approach DBs anyway.

(exclude the online db files from your file system replication)

Fair enough! My only work with video has been very lightweight stuff and I haven't needed much else. Shotcut definitely has quirks, though I know it a lot better than kdenlive. Have not played enough with Resolve to comment, though I have it on my list to try when the opportunity presents itself.

I wasn't even thinking about the performance/efficiency impact! That's a good point. For me, I like me phone to do what I want it to do. I didn't ask for AI. I don't need it. I actually don't even want it - I really don't want my devices to 'think'. What I want is fast, efficient, and predictable execution of what I tell it to do. (by predictable, I mean that I don't want it to anticipate my needs or surprise me - I want a nice, responsive and dumb device with a great display, a good camera, good connectivity, and a good battery.

Used to run Linux as daily driver about 20 years ago, so I recently converted an old laptop to Linux to breathe new life into it.

It's definitely good for many things, but many things are simply not doable. And some things are not doable simply.

Would love to see broader support from companies so that devices worked (with resorting to clever, yet incomplete guesswork scripts from helpful enthusiasts). I don't see evidence of this changing anytime soon. So my main machine will just have to remain Windows until then. Unfortunately.

I also wish Wayland had broader adoption amongst distros and that some essential tools existed for it (remote desktop server, for example - gnome's works, but you have to been confined to gnome...)

But, many things will improve over time. It's a lot of fun.

I try lo like the Front Burner, but the host comes off as unserious and it really makes it hard to wade through. Casual rapport is fine, but it's difficult to strike the right note. (by way of contrast, The Daily usually manages it quite well even when it's not Michael Barbaro).

I liked mine. I ran the barest of barebones Linux on it and LXDE. The thing that ruined it for me was the small low resolution display. Just too few pixels to have a useable experience.

But as a portable and limited semi-dumb terminal, it wasn't half bad.

It is all thanks to the Russian mission which went in beforehand to establish that the surface was, indeed, solid...
