Uhhh, git add -p?

It doesn’t look like anything to me.

I’ve had great success with restic. It will handle your 4TB just fine, here’s some stats of mine:

Total File Count: 78374
Total Size: 13.324 TiB

and another one, not as large but with lots of files

Total File Count: 1295210
Total Size: 2.717 TiB

Restic will automatically deduplicate your data so your duplicates won’t waste storage at your backup location.

I’ve recently learned about backrest which can serve as a restic UI if you’re not comfortable with the cli, but I haven’t used it myself.

To clean your duplicates at the source I would look into Czkawka as another lemming already suggested.

I mean, calling out Musks hypocrisy is not a bad thing per se, but is it really news?

At the end of the day a lot of people choose to remain on a platform that got bought by an gigantic asshole, who can now do whatever he wants with it. That’s how it works and being upset about it just shows that many users are either naive or delusional. Twitter can’t be saved, there’s nothing left.

Combined with the fact that most Lemmy users probably know about this and already chose alternative platforms a long time ago, articles like these rarely cause more than a shrug, at least for me.

But hey, if it get’s a few more people off of twitter (especially like large institutions as you mentioned), I won’t complain. As time passes I just tend to think that everyone who still stays on Twitter maybe belongs there.

Electron. Many apps nowadays are just headless browsers and browsers are huge and complex. It’s nice from a development perspective, because you can (re)use web tools for desktop apps but it’s very resource hungry.

Sadly our car industry slept way too long on electric vehicles and instead doubled down on combustion engines, even by fraudulent practices (e.g. Dieselgate).

Teslas were by far the best EVs for a long time. Nowadays, not so much.

I’m all for removal of the root cause.

Friedrich Merz is also the guy who called the greens and the left “nutjobs” whose “time is over” just a day before the election.

You need more Excalidraw in your life.

We will have more salespeople next year because we really need to explain to people exactly the value that we can achieve with AI. So, we will probably add another 1,000 to 2,000 salespeople in the short term.

Well, good luck!

I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst. It’s going to be hilarious to see these kinds of CEOs falling flat on their faces. Unfortunately, it will not be the CEOs who will suffer the most from the consequences.

I can recommend Restic with Wasabi S3 as cloud storage backend.

You can’t make this shit up.

It’s fucking BILD. Tell me when those bastards spew something else than disinformation and hatred and maybe I’ll care. Otherwise it’s just business as usual.

if the database “can’t handle it” […] that proves that they make poor choices.

Exactly, the database should never even have to handle the password in it’s original form and hashing algorithms don’t care about special characters.

As a German I sadly agree.

You’re right.

We’ve decided that IPFS is not yet ready for prime time. We’ll still link to files on IPFS from Anna’s Archive when possible, but we won’t host it ourselves anymore, nor do we recommend others to mirror using IPFS. Please see our Torrents page if you want to help preserve our collection.

I’d say ask the original developer directly. Getting your changes merged upstream should be the preferred option for you, the original dev and the users. If everything goes right, you both could figure out a way to do this, maybe by re-introducing your refactorings and fixes one by one in smaller pull requests. Maybe you could become a maintainer in the process and support the original dev long term so everybody wins.

If the original developer doesn’t respond or declines you could think about bringing your own fork forward. Think about the consequences though, the original dev might get frustrated by a competing fork and abandon the project completely. The users on the other hand might be confused or insecure about which version to choose. Your fork must offer a lot for them to jump ship and switch.

Generally I’d say open source is about working together, not against one another, so just shoot them a message and see where it goes.

I’d recommend Quad9 or Mullvad as both have a good record on privacy. DNS is also often unencrypted by default, so make sure to use DoT or DoH while you’re at it.
