I’m sure syncthing works great for you but another option is Self Hosted Live Sync. It works for me as an iOS user who can’t use syncthing on my phone. It requires a server but given this b community it shouldn’t be a surprise.

Rclone does what I want, for the most part.

I don’t know if I would recommend a comprehensive guide at all tbh. It’s like recommending a comprehensive guide to gardening or reading or something. Just start small with realistic goals and find some good YouTube videos that pique your interest.

I started with unraid (strictly due to the expandability of the array, and I’m still glad I did that) and found SpaceInvader One’s videos to be super helpful, and he continues to put out new videos with new ways of harnessing unraid’s power. After a while I got the hang of it and now I feel comfortable reading the docs of a service and installing it myself and integrating it into my stack. Following communities like these on Lemmy, as well as perusing the Community App Store in unraid is more than enough to expose me to interesting software I want to try out.

I say sit back and enjoy the process. We have a tendency to put pressure on ourselves to do things perfectly and immediately. But tend not to enjoy the learning process. Thinking back five years ago it’s amazing how far my server has come, let alone my ability to control it. Enjoy it!

I agree with a lot of LR’s opinions, especially around right to repair, but he has always been extremely long winded, and guilty of repeating himself a lot in his videos. Not to mention opinionated.

While it’s cool that some people are excited for this and will no doubt learn a ton from this, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone.

I read that as pi hole and was confused because pi hole is licensed under the European Union Public License (EUPL) which I’m pretty sure can copy from GPL with attribution. Also they both block ads in very different ways.

Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

At this rate you would have been better off investing $60!

To each their own! You don’t have to like it if you don’t want to :)

I don’t have any strong feelings about Star Trek. But I know enough to treat it as a piece of philosophy. It was never about the most advanced visual effects possible (although some of the effects and makeup are quite impressive imo). Star Trek was an investigation into what it means to be human, and the morality behind that. If there was cool tech stuff, that was bonus.

To emulate a numpad.

If this works I would recommend yuihjknm, being mapped to 789456123 respectively, with space mapped to 0. That’s how I have it set up on my mechanical keyboard and it’s quite fast. I also recently mapped b to . which makes typing IP addresses quite a bit faster.

Thanks for the info. Sincerely did not know.

Since the mods deleted my post, I’ll repeat what I wrote, because aside from the unintentional racism, I feel like I made some valid points.

GPU accelerated terminal emulators are already quite popular and if you use alacrity, kitty, or wez, then you already use them. They can help with not only cool effects like smooth scrolling and transparency, but also with massive text files. Handling an 8gb text file is complicated, and using a GPU can help with that.

Ghostty’s selling points are not just the GPU acceleration, since that’s actually fairly standard nowadays. They are: (from their about page)

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

I for one am very excited for this terminal and can’t wait to see what kind of development comes out of it!
