No. Not at all. That's honestly not helpful or acceptable talk.

When. I mentioned violence, I was highlighting the extent to which I fear it's a powder keg. An observation, not an imperative. I hope it's not. I sincerely hope it's not.

Classic.

Thank you - next on list was trying to find an appropriate package in neovim to do this. (I was never in doubt that something existed - I mean, even midnight commander has this built in!)

Thank you! I just read that and assumed audio wouldn't. I don't have warm fuzzies about this.

That said, I'll give it a go.

It is.

The Adobe case is a big one. For me, it's lightroom that has no real Linux counterpart. The app itself isn't where the magic is - darktable exists. The magic is in the interapp interoperability - bi-directional syncs and edits in any platform. FOSS is very unlikely to create something like this (would love to be wrong) as it's less of a tech challenge than an enterprise architecture challenge with a component systems falling in line. This sort of thing requires money to be executed effectively, unfortunately.

Really hope overall user base in Linux can grow enough to catch attention of SW/HW manufacturers, but have been hoping this for many, many years...

For me, it's not the DAW (Reaper works fine), but this is not the case for every DAW and it must be recognized that switching DAWs is non-trivial (nor should it be expected). In my case, it's the HW. I can likely get my interface to run (unsupported) but my Maschine is a non-starter. Yes - I know there are a few drivers for similar HW around written by clever folk who've done reverse engineering, but it only covers a few minor use cases and is, at best a science experiment and not something one should ever depend on even if it did work.

SW is a problem too - yes most plugins can be coaxed into working, but certainly not all. Add to that the underlying tech is usually wine, and it's a perpetual game of whackamole to maybe get the stuff you paid for to run.

The folks writing these bridging tools are not too blame - it's brilliant, wonderful work. Fundamentally, it's an act of good will that one can't rely afford to fully depend on if it even does work. I love FOSS, but it's not everything - I certainly don't expect a free ride, but I do want the option to pay to run what I want.

The issue is the HW and SW manufacturers - they need a critical mass of potential users to be bothered to commit to developing for Linux. My hope is that as user bases grow (in places like India) the cost/benefit analysis shifts.

Let us know how it goes! I actually don't have a soda stream, but my folks do, and this is something I'd like to try. If you don't waste ingredients, it'll be way cheaper than Dr. Pepper. I admit I prefer his cousin, who happens to be a Sgt. (with a somewhat lonely heart...)

Onedrive /google drive for immediate stuff. Other stuff (too big for cloud services) from local to Synology, or simply served from Synology. Cloudsync from OneDrive/Google drive to Synology. (Periodic verification that things are sync'd this is very important!). Snapshots on Synology for local 'oops' recovery. Synology hyperbackup to Wasabi for catastrophic recovery. (used to use Glacier for this but it was a bit unwieldy for the amount of money saved - I don't have that much data)

I'm aware that the loopback from onedrive/Google drive to synology doubles network traffic in the background but, again, I don't have that much data and a consistent approach makes things easier/safer in the long run. And with more than one computer sharing a cloud drive link, the redundancy/complexity is further diminished. (let the cloud drive experts deal solving race conditions and synchronization/concurrency fun).

This works because every computer I have can plug into the process. Everything ends up on Synology (direct or via onedrive/Google drive) and everything ends up off site at Wasabi.

I very rarely need to touch the Wasabi stuff (unless to test, or because of boneheaded mistakes I make (not often) while configuring things.

It's a good model (for me), adapts well to almost every situation and let's me control my data.

Although you can add lemmy communities it's really very limited and not useful (for me at least).

I love Fela Kuti.

Recently picked up the complete boxed set with 27 (30?) cds.

Amazing stuff.

Thank you!
