LibreOffice is awful on macOS. Also, file compatibility with MS Office is still problematic. Onlyoffice is indeed a better choice.
Re:Ask HN: Cheap/effective way to manage physical backups of cloud files?
on Monday January 06, 2025 @03:44PM (#42615531)
If your cloud storage is supported by rclone, you can use that to mount the storage and then back it up, locally or to an S3 storage at a different provider. That’s how I backup my wife’s and daughter’s OneDrive, using rclone and restic.

This is a very dangerous take - while at this point in time the RTS have not yet been formally adopted by all the relevant bodies, they will be, at which point they will be enforceable.

I find that one concerning in an enterprise setup (which they target). Or the fact that the desktop client has 999 open issues. Or that the last version silently takes you off the stable channel. I could go on … Nextcloud desktop has severe quality control issues.

Not necessarily. You can for example configure both Thunderbird and mailcow to allow you to reply from any address (of the domains you manage, of course), without having to create the mailbox.

I am still afraid of dying slowly and/or painfully, but over the last 57 years I have moved from wanting to live forever to accepting that I will die. Like you, it’s not a wish, it’s simply acceptance. Makes you appreciate the little things in life, too.

I did, and according to the man page of /etc/resolv.conf the order is taken into account unless you specifically set the option not to. Which covers macOS, i(Pad)OS and Linux, and afaik also my Windows machine (I haven't checked the latter though).
Re:Ext4 data corruption in 6.1 stable
on Sunday December 10, 2023 @02:48PM (#38594351)
I use borgbackup so the storage requirements are fairly low if the data does not change too much (which is my case). Also diffs are just a « borg diff » away.

No, I'm implying that the autopilot code has not been as thoroughly tested as it should have been.

I understand your reasoning, but running a popular « stable » distro in a popular configuration will help detect bugs much faster. I’m not sure this would be the case for the very latest kernel.

Are you sure about that (genuine question)? The linked discussion involves a Suse engineer and a request to the kernel maintainer directly, not to a Debian packager-

Cars might not be the best example, since human lives are at stake, as in aviation. Unless you work on Teslas autopilot, it seems. But yes, backups and restores are often good enough.

If you have versioned backups, you can diff against update_day-1 without an additional tool.

I had already updated to the problematic kernel, so I resorted to installing 6.5 from backports. Hope this helps.

True, but only if you threaten their business model, which is unlikely if you selfhost for yourself and relatives.

I agree about identity, but this can also be accomplished by "owning" your domain and using a mail provider that allow you to use it. Even Apple does nowadays.

Agreed, I use it because I use borgbase for server backups but I wouldn’t recommend it, especially on laptops. The backups stalls every other time after waking up from sleep.
