I second this. It makes total sense - computer memory is a volume to be filled with data. They ain’t call parts of a hard drive volumes for nothing.

I have a small standalone speaker, not good for TV. I doesn’t want to link with my Google profile, so no voice control from Assistant. So the only way to use it is from their app, or maybe casting

Sonos speaker. I have Google Home speakers around the house and we use them to play music. Sonos almost never get used

St. Petersburg’s and Moscow’s old stations were built to show off superiority of communist state. That’s where you can see lots of polished stone, sculptures, giant golden light fixtures, stained glass, etc. Focus was not on the people. Then starting around 1970s the stations were built with much more utilitarian design. Modern stations built in Moscow in last decade or so look very nice though.

NYC subway is just gross. I guess they are seriously underfunded to afford proper cleaning and renovation

Convenience stores that sell gas usually buy it from wherever cheaper. 7/11, Wawa, Quickcheck. Not sure if same applies to anywhere outside US, though.

Also local small brands may not sell top tier gas

Well, my original plan was to copy configuration over after I install apos that are not available as flatpaks. Looks like I can copy configuration for those too, just to another location

Interesting. It says that the project is in pre-alpha stage… not sure if I would be able to verify the scripts it generates

That’s what I mostly do now. But it requires some extra work, as some apps are not available in Ubuntu DEB repository. Also, I don’t like the approach that Canonical takes, pushing snaps so much

I really like GNOME. I know not enough about security of it compared to Cinnamon

Thanks! This is helpful

I see your point… I use Debian for my self-hosted environment, so having similar system on desktop may save some cognitive load. My main arguments against Debian are (maybe misinformed though):

• No btrfs support in installer OK, Debian wiki says it’s there
• Major annual upgrades to keep up with stable look more scary than more incremental and frequent updates of Fedora. And using Sid as someone suggested sounds too crazy for main PC

So yeah, looks like it’s just upgrades… Gives me something to think about while I’m moving my apps to flatpaks

Thanks!

Bookmarks and passwords are taken care of. And for the apps I’ll try to get migrated to flatpaks as many as I can while still on original system.

I also see that full disk encryption is being recommended a lot, and I don’t have any solid reasons to encrypt only /home.

I have not given much thought on Silverblue. Is it “flatpak-only”? If so I’ll need to go through my apps to see if that could work. And my backup strategy will need to change - I use Duplicacy that is not available as a Flatpak

Yeah, looks like migration of flatpaks between OS is easy and makes sense a lot

Oh, that’s neat! Thanks!

The more the merrier. Yes, there will be more shit content, but there will be more quality content and engagement. Small platforms tend to die or become an echo chamber.

I want Lemmy to replace Reddit completely

Does this method allow to pick what you need to backup or it’s the entire filesystem?

I mostly support this opinion. Bot-only communities should not be allowed on lemm.ee instance. We can add this to instance rules and throw out such communities.

I’m not against repost bots per se, but I’d allow them only if a community has more people posts than bot posts.

At this moment I use too many tools.

For user data on my PC and on home server I mostly use Duplicacy. It is fast and efficient. All data backed up locally on NAS box over SFTP, and a subset of that data is backed up to S3 cloud storage.

I have a Mac, this one is using TimeMachine, storing data on NAS, then it’s synced to S3 cloud storage one a day.

And on top of that VMs and containers from home server are backed up by Proxmox built in tool to NAS. These mostly exclude user data.

Oh, that’s nice, thank you for this!
