You pretty much got it. I need a quick way to restore the repo and ideally have git do a self backup. Seems like a cheap VPS may be the way to go

I’m finding that trope is even worse with daybreak 1 (I just got to the intermission).

A lot of the characters dote on the silly protagonist too much. I miss the strong and driven heroes from sky and crossbell.

You could try something S3 based, and do backups by date?

For example, export a subset of the DB and name it accordingly (ie. 2025-04-to-2025-01.tar).

If you do that there are a lot of pretty cheap S3 providers (like Wasabi).

S3 interfaces nicely with RCLONE so you can move providers etc and pull it really quickly.

As an aside, when I looked into something like this the thing that made me hesitate was the time and cost for retrieval from cold storage (like amazon glacier) outweighed the savings.

I can’t keep up, lol! Just started daybreak 1. With daybreak 2, sky 1, and now daybreak 3 I’m going to be busy this year.

Any x86 machine will do.

If u have an old desktop with some drives sleds in it that’s more than enough.

Synology seems to be the go to brand for most folks. They have a solid OS and take their security pretty seriously.

If you want to have more fun you could grab a small x86 NAS (ugreen/terramaster) and flash it with truenas.

I don’t think you need to feel silly. Programming languages are tools. Some are better suited for jobs than others.

AoC is good for two skills:

  1. Learning how to solve problems.
  2. Learning how to process and model data.

With python #2 is no longer difficult. In the past I’ve used Rust or C and I spent way more effort on #2 than #1.

I think the key is what is your goal in doing this? I like the puzzles but have limited time so I use python to solve them quickly and be on my way. If I had more time i would have liked to learn / try go this year.

Python

Not my first, second, or third choice. But I’m in between moves and have very limited access to my desktop (even remotely/SSH) so I need the simplest tool for the job.

I only listen to podcasts so you got the big ones: playback speed and remembering position.

[–] ch8zer@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Do you intend to support podcasts and audiobooks? Specifically, remembering it stopped playing? If so I will totally drop Finamp for this

Agreed. You need to be willing to migrate to FOSS software or else “switching to Linux” will be a total failure.

[–] ch8zer@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think the key is you need to find FOSS software that works for you before migrating your OS. Most FOSS software will run on windows and sometimes MAC.

1-2 and 3 will be hard. You can find many tools that do something similar but it won’t be perfect. There are a few different music managers, and for office libreoffice is the go to.

  1. try digikam, it supports all OSes

  2. googling “Fujitsu snap scanner Linux” yielded a few blog articles on the matter. Seems it should be supported.
