Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

• I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

• On Windows: robocopy.exe

• On Linux: rsync

• On Mac: rsync

• On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

• On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…

Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.

Mini Motor Racing might be a good match. It has some DLC available (additional cars), but none of it is necessary to enjoy the game.

Yeah. I’ve had mentors regail me of other tools they used alongside ‘Ed’, but I wasn’t listening very attentively. Hopefully that’s something that can be dug out of the history of the Internet.

I would definitely choose the old reliable stuff over something new and fancy, if I had this use case.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol

Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.

Delightful!

“Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user’s disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!”

Gave me a giggle. That 100k loss has got to hurt for a user who still tries to run ‘vi’ on a classic system, I imagine.

Edit:

Another gem:

“Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.”

The ‘ed’ editor was designed for high latency networks. I would pull on that thread. That is, in your shoes, I would read up on ‘ed’ and related tools.

will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in

Today I learned that. It never came up for me since I do most of my game shopping on my phone. That could be really helpful later.

Thank you!

I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.

“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”

Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.

But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.

I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).

If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.

It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.

That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.

The Halo Anniversary collection shines on SteamDeck. It was my first purchase after getting mine, I think.

Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.

They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.

They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.

I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.

Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:

• Netflix advertisements.
• Zoom mandates staff return to offices.
• Microsoft forgets what the “P” in “PC” stands for.
• Toys R Us implements a shitty holiday gift returns policy.
• Sears decides to sacrifice reputation for quarterly stock price gains.
• Walgreens decides bottom-of-the-barrel incompetent pharmacists can uphold their “get it all done in one visit” secret sauce.
• Radio Shack decides that once-every-two-years cellphone contract sales are the future for holding passionate electronics hobbyists’ loyalty.

Oh. That makes sense, I play mainly on SteamDeck, but I’ve been thinking of getting a Steam Controller for my PC, since the majority of what I’ve bought in the last year has been “SteamDeck Verified”.

It’s been tickling my brain that “SteamDeck Verified” badge also makes it a lot easier to tell how a game will act with a controller on PC.

If we’re stretching the joke further (and by all means we should, this is a delight), there’s also always “Final Fantasy TicTacs: Advance”

“extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy,” got me. It’s perfect.

Also, your username is perfect for this moment.

Oof. But yeah. Fair.

I want to go on record that sometimes I just wear sandals with socks.

This is a day one purchase for me, if they somehow don’t encumber it with DRM bullshit…

“The Punisher” arcade game is a criminally under-discovered gem. And Children of the Atom doesn’t get re-released often enough for how stupidly fun it is.

Yeah. This crap was the last straw for me to stop dual booting.
