Sometimes you’re hands are tied by the tools already on the server - but I’ll try to remember to check to see if that’s available next time.

My condolences :'(

I once lost a bunch of data because I accidently left a / at the end of a path… rsync can be dangerous lol

It’s in the Arch TOS.

One thing I did miss about grocy was the ability to track equipment in the kitchen (and house) as well, including the storage of manuals and warranty information.

Do you have any intention (or interest) in adding that?

I was pretty annoyed when my grocy install broke ages ago, and I lost all of that information but it was very useful having all of that stuff centralised.

Why not?

Difficult, yes. Impractical? Absolutely not, at least with some planning ahead. It’s not trivial (and I never said it was) but it’s getting both easier and more important every year.

Of course - I get that. I’m a programmer myself.

But it does have to be said that there’s little excuse for not doing it anymore for heavy applications, especially games. The tools/frameworks/engines have vastly improved, and people know (at least roughly) ahead of time what work is going to slog the CPU, especially in the case of a AAA studio.

Note: I’m only referring to relatively modern games here - anything that’s older than when multithread really took off gets an automatic pass - it’s not reasonable to expect someone to cater for a situation that doesn’t exist yet.

Heh. Classic case of being able to market your product as being “multithreaded” because is uses 2 threads? :P

the plurality of people using it wrong doesn’t make them not wrong

The scary part about this is that it kinda does. The more people use the term wrong, the more widely accepted the new definition will be - we see it happen with language all the time. I personally hate it, but I think it does highlight the importance of standing against it and ensuring people don’t just accept the “new definition”.

An important question though.

I have, when I first set it up, and again once when I needed to.

Duplicati, to a friend’s home server who lives in another town.

The single binary thing is a nice idea. I don’t see myself migrating off mailcow anytime soon though - I have no desire to set up mailservers more often than required.
