It’s changing settings to only allow one way sync and disable deletion. The sync folder basically becomes an automatic archive destination.

They are soooo close to having this cool tool, but many feature requests have been shot down because it’s not a true sync. I get it, but it sucks too.

I use syncthing for backups including some phone files, but I’m not sure this would be good.

Syncthing devs clearly don’t want this app used as a sync-and-archive tool so all phones would have all copies and any phone can permanently delete any file. I wouldn’t trust that.

(Yes, there is a roundabout way, I do it too, but it is prone to errors and sync issues)

I second immich and backup. immich can archive as you want, and Syncthing can make backups of files.

Sweet! My first computer was a 333mhz PowerPC Mac! Still have that behemoth. Man, I learned video editing and 3d modelind on that thing and totally changed my career path.

Now 25 years later it’s decendant (roughly?) is a SoC running a wireless hub!

Price is definitely important, but so is traction. If stopping distance increases because eco materials grip less, that would be a concern.

My criteria are performance results, wear rating, and price.

Can confirm. Neighbors house had an attic fire with knob & tube wiring.

… Just like the stuff still in my place today. Eek! Landlord won’t upgrade unless there is a problem. In my house, the breakers are all 20amp and that’s a lot to run on, best guess, 70 year old wires.

Oh, and do not assume anything is wired as expected. Test after. I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

A cheaper solution is to take a copper wire and connect the ground screw of the socket to a water pipe. It does the job and is better than nothing.

I use kimai.

It’s grown over the past few years and lots of bugs squished. Could use a little developer help regarding custom invoice templates, but I like the direction it’s headed.

There is a convenient app that works pretty well. I think it’s a couple bucks now, but nothing outrageous.

Why not dockerize Foundry and run all on the Synology?

Though I did convert my home assistant docker to HAOS on a Pi for extra features way back in the day. Not sure you have to now.

Oh nice! I knew hot swapping was supported on many other devices but not PCIe itself. Feels wrong to rip a card out while the system is powered up.

Nope. I actually did that unintentionally on a PC I built. I only used one power wire when the GPU needed 2 so it couldn’t use all the power it needed when running 100%. My understanding was PCI doesn’t support disconnecting devices so the system expects all components it starts up with to be available all the time. Lose one and the system goes down.

Google doesn’t care what end users scream about (such as YouTube ads) but I have a feeling some lawyers had an emergency meeting to explain why this was a crap idea.

I feel like this change is here to stay for a while.

Yeah they blocked it a few months ago. I don’t remember the specifics, but it seemed like a new mod/admin came into play and didn’t get the memo about Lemmy and trying to be more transparent and engaged with communities. Just poof

Haha! Darn autocorrect. Thanks for catching that.

“Oh no, those poor ticket buyers. How can we make this right?”

A fit of laughter washed over the C-level executive suite as hardened stoic expressions melt under the absurdity of the line.

For the Ticketmaster empire has fulfilled its purpose once again; to draw out the anger, to be the hated, to consume and regurgitate the evils and greeds of the land.

Lunch is delivered, and that was the last thought on the matter for the day. Talk of vacation homes and weekend yacht excursions permiate the walls; yellowed ever so slightly over the decades.

The delivery driver sulks away, untipped, from the lions den as their phone buzzes with a new notification.

“Oh, shit. What this time?”

You have to register an account with the 3rd party service ID.me that uses biometrics like facial recognition. Their privacy policy is horrendous.

The only reason I haven’t used it this year.

I wanted to swap over to Merlin last year but my router isn’t supported. Grrrr!

Nasty. Thanks for the heads up.

As I’ve heard someone say last year: “I wish Reddit a happy Digg.com”

I imagine there is money to be made. The big hurdle is initial development of the customer’s deployment app and the proxy/security location. But once those two work, a one time purchase or subscription could start bringing in revenue.

I foresee scalability and bandwidth to be a hurdle if you have 35,000 users running on average 10 apps. This setup would automatically double needed bandwidth by delivering content on the web and communication through VPN. Spitballing, but caching (if possible) would help, video like jellyfin would hurt pretty bad, but then again that sort of isn’t selfhosting anymore.

Oh, and it’d have to be cheaper then just buying a VPS. It’s a potential business, but trapped in a tight box of competition. Keep in mind your #1 client, those who rely on corporate solutions, would need a reason to switch and understand what they are doing. My parents aren’t going to jump ship from their walled garden because AI stole their eclipse photos.

Hmmmm. We’ve had single click LAMP installs way back in the early 00’s. Heck, web servers were a single check box in OSX. It’s just gotten really complicated since then.

Data centers work great because tech and staff work together in proximity to keep things smooth. To decentralized a data center …

I’d start with a VPN; without which, you’d have too many unknowns. I’d have local user space (probably a VM or docker environment) linked to a remote auto-magically configured proxy server and network infrastructure. (A lot of people do this anyway with wire guard or the like) Complete automation is the key here.

Users would install apps from docker (preconfigured) and the environment automatically establishes the VPN and sends port data and settings to the proxy service. DNS/fail2ban/security is set up, and goes live in a minute or two. Of course that wouldn’t work for things like Pihole or adguard.

User is responsible for disk/CPU, service provider for networking, well except ISP stuff. But anything average-user-easy will have to be mostly prepackaged for ease of use.

Oh, and if there are things that go wrong, clear explanations are essential. Things like “could not bind 0.0.0.0:80” could be “Hey dimwit, you already used port 80 for XXXX program. Pick something else!”

Or, you know, a script could do that.

Enlightening read and explained very well.

As for the Apple bug bringing back old photos from an erased data partition; non-applicable if I recall. Apple identified the bug having to do with restoring devices from backups. Backup data contained the presumed deleted content.

This article is therefore correct that deleted photos from reset devices (and not restored from backup) could not be recovered from the data partition.
