Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up?
  • It'd be worth checking out Borg as an alternative to rsync. Borg will handle snapshotting, and automatically de-dupe on a block-by-block basis.

    I use it for all of my remote backups, and it provides a lot of quality of life stuff that rsync isn't going to handle.

  • Thoughts/Experience with OpenSUSE Micro-OS?
  • I had a reasonably good time with it. I had issues with btrfs, which is why I moved off it and went to Fedora IoT for pretty much the same benefits.

    For me, btrfs caused multiple drive corruptions because of unexpected power offs, and I didn't feel like trying to fix that on the fly - it might have been drives that were incompatible with CoW because of firmware "optimisations" that break if a write isn't completed prior to power off.

    In general, outside of that, it was pretty solid. I didn't find much use for the orchestration/setup tooling they include, and I found their documentation pretty sporadic unfortunately. Fedora IoT has the advantage of basically being silverblue, with rpm-ostree, so it's easy to find people using it and discussing it.

  • Sonarr not working?
  • Are you expecting sonarr to go after historical stuff? You have to manually request a search for anything added that isn't being released in the future. Sonarr only automatically checks for new episodes, not old ones. Like others have said, season searches and interactive searches are useful for anything that's not airing in the future.

  • Blood Beat (1983)
  • Nah, it continues to be pretty solidly boring. Great poster though.

    The one really entertaining bit for us was "mystical boinging" being in the subtitles at one point.

    That's been a running joke with friends ever since.

  • Any simple alternatives to smoke ping?
  • But their internet is down, so it'll fail to send to telegram. Realistically it needs to be an external system that is tracking when it receives pings from the home network, so it can show periods where the bash script didn't ping for a while.

  • Why did there need to be a vote?
  • He doesn't have the power to override the vote and put it in the constitution, but the body doesn't need to be in the constitution to exist.

    They could form it legally without that section, there's just nothing stopping it being torn down after the next election if he does, because the constitution wouldn't be enforcing it. The whole point was to make it more resilient to attacks.

    Even if it were in the constitution, the government of the time would be able to choose the shape the Voice took, but I suppose the expectation would be that, if it were enshrined in the constitution, that's a very strong message that messing with it would put the majority of the country against you.

  • Referendum Results, Congratulations, Comiserations
  • The outcome still has potential to sway politicians I suppose. If it's closer than they expect, some will have to tread more carefully and make some concessions, or risk losing their seat next election.

  • What's the point of terminal file managers (mc, ranger, nnn, etc)?
  • My favourite one is renaming a directory full of files in nnn. It opens in vim, and I'm in my happy place, where I really know how to edit text (or, in this case, filenames). Great when there's some minor variation between a lot of files. Full previewing before saving, multiple operations handled before doing anything etc.

  • Dongle
  • Huh, you're completely correct. Sorry about that, my brain wouldn't accept that that was a 3.5mm port. It looks weird.

    So yeah, that's exactly what that port is for. Good call.

  • Lemmy Support for Private Communities?
  • The existing feature is that only subscribers will see it in feeds, but it can still be searched for or viewed manually. It's not a private community feature. I'm just planning to add front-end access for the feature that already exists, so that admins don't have to do API calls to use it.

    I'll see if there's any existing discussions about private communities while I'm at it though, it might be something the main devs have an opinion on or plan for.

  • Lemmy Support for Private Communities?
  • This actually already exists, it's just not in the UI yet. Hiding communities can be done via the API. I was planning on putting in a PR to expose the functionality on the front-end at some stage.

  • Robot vaccums: Manufacturers and models that protect users' privacy?
  • It's absurd how much better it makes the vacuums to use. Interaction through the Web UI is just instant, instead of having to bounce to servers halfway around the world before acting on it. It's the primary decider of which vacuum I consider now.

    Are comments supposed to backfill on posts?

    When first interacting with a community - i.e. subscribing the Lemmy Support - from my own instance, some amount of posts sync across but their comments don't show up. Is that expected behaviour for now?

    EDIT: maybe the same issue as https://lemmy.ml/post/1148327?scrollToComments=true
