What's different between this and rclone?

Not OP, but practically all of those lines are from a package-lock.json file (6755 lines) and a changelog (541 lines). It looks like the actual source is 179 lines long.

My school uses Canvas and I think general sentiment is pretty positive from both students and faculty.
Works well for streaming video from a Quest 2 to a computer.

Tried this out and got this result:

            import json
            presidents = ["Biden", "Obama", "Bush", "Clinton", "Carter"]
            limerick = "There once were presidents five, " \
            "Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter alive. " \
            "They served our country with pride, " \
            "And kept our democracy alive. " \
            "May they continue to thrive!"
            print(json.dumps({"limerick": limerick, "presidents": presidents}))
DEVONthink (macOS, https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink) does this very well. It can search metadata and contents and offers many organizational options.

I've been happily using Time Sink (https://manytricks.com/timesink/) to do this for about a year now. It does not automatically merge into a timelapse, but this is accomplished easily with ffmpeg.

The Steam Link was pretty Shield-like, in that it supported game streaming.

Just use rclone instead; it's open source, fast, supports nearly every cloud storage provider, and has FUSE support for mounting.

But you still can't have multiple tailnets. The strategy of "have hobbyists try out the software themselves, like it, then implement it at their work" seems incompatible with this fact.
Or a PWA!

Nice project! BTW, Hugo actually doesn’t need an always-on server; you just run `hugo` on update and it spits out static files ready to host. I would strongly recommend it if you’re looking to upgrade your blog a bit - I’ve found it wonderful.
