Oh yes, thanks. I just had blue collar jobs on my mind. Brain fart.

Don’t do a blue white collar job. Go into a trade school and do that instead. Drive a truck, be an electrician, plumber, whatever. These are still good jobs and you actually might be happier doing something like this when compared to working in an office. At least you feel like you are doing something and you can see what you accomplish right away.

I’m much older than you and have been working in an office since I can remember. I have been really thinking about doing or at least learning a trade even though that would mean a huge pay cut for me.

I know what you mean. There are tools I see everyday and I ask, but why? I have started to just ask, why not? There doesn’t always have to be a use case and sometimes people just want to create shit. They don’t even care if others use it, but want to share it anyway in case there is that one other person that does.

Does there need to be a need? Some people just like to create things to see if they can. Some people like TUIs. There may not be a huge need for this, but it’s pretty freaking awesome to have.

Oof. Thanks. I deleted mine as well. Never really use it anyway because I was always afraid of what they might do with my money.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. This worked for me.

Do YOU love yourself for who you are? Do you accept yourself and all your imperfections? Is there anything you are not happy with about yourself that you can change?

This is all that matters. Stop trying to push things and appreciate what you have. If there is something about yourself that you can change, then change it. Otherwise, stop worrying about what others think and learn to love yourself.

When you figure this out and learn this, everything else will follow. How can others love you, if you don’t even love yourself?

This has less to do with Elon and more to do with twitter itself. Why were other platforms created in the first place like Lemmy? Could it be to decentralize these platforms so that no one entity can control them, including the government? This whole shit show with Brazil shows us exactly why these platforms should exist. The oppression of the people need to stop.

Instead of complaining about others and offering no contributions to this platform, I’d love to hear your take on this and start an open discussion. It seems like you have something on your mind, so why not speak it?

Had me in the first half

Had issues downloading for offline. Recommendations are meh. Sometimes I can’t search. Sometimes the app won’t load when on cell data.

I never had issues like those before and then all of the sudden, it’s not even usable. I get having bad cell coverage somewhere, but I would have a strong signal and it will still do it. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app multiple times for it to work.

Tidal is now cheaper and it has everything I would listen to. Before they were missing some bands and deezer had them. Doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

I went with deezer for this reason as well. But deezer has gotten really bad and the interface is just God awful. I recently moved over to tidal and love it. It’s way better than deezer at this point

Your comment is hogshit. It’s just comparing apples to oranges. It’s meaningless and unhelpful. You’re trying to suggest that something worked before so we should continue to do it. Should we not take vaccines next because that worked before? Should we not use soap too because they didn’t have that back then? Should we go back to riding horses? Should we all live in huts and mud walls? Should we not use electricity anymore as well? Humans have done this in the past so it will totally work in modern society, right? See I can say stupid shit too.

You’re totally right. The world hasn’t been getting hotter due to climate change and people didn’t use horses. How could I forget.

There are places where this is just not possible. I live in very hot climate and people would be dying all the time due to heat exhaustion and dehydration if this was the case. I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but you can’t simply say, fuck cars. It doesn’t work this way everywhere. I would say that public transportation needs to be greatly improved upon and invested in though.

I’ve lived in places where I don’t need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places where you do need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places that have great transportation and it’s hot, but again, it’s great and shitty. There are trade-offs with whatever you go with. I do agree that we should focus more on better zoning and better public transportation.

The infrastructure just isn’t there yet. If you live in apartments, where will you charge it? Can the overall electrical grid handle the load if let’s say 50% of people that own an electrical car? How do these cars do in extreme weather conditions? How much does it cost to repair them? How long will they last for? EVs are super expensive.

We can’t even decide on a standard charging port.

While I will eventually get an EV, there are problems that need to be addressed still.

Tesla has ton of quality issues and riven is brand new. Why would I trust them?

If you don’t want to use a hosted provider, you can at least just start using git. Just do git init. Then you can start commiting changes. This way, you at least have a history of changes. Then just back that folder up like normal

You can use a few tools.

RSync

Rclone - probably want this one over RSync though.

Tarsnap

Duplicati

Restic

There’s obviously a lot more, but these are some of the more popular ones.

Now you need a way to back it up. Probably the best way is to tar it up first and then dump that file. You can also get something like deadmans snitch to ensure backups don’t break.

As you mentioned, if this is just source code, then the best thing would be to create source control and have it set up that way. Then you automate it and deploy the code when you make updates and have a history of changes.

It sounds like tarsnap is your best bet though. It will be the cheapest.

You can also backup to another storage provider like Google, Dropbox, or even AWS s3. S3 can get costly, but you can archive everything to the glacier tier which is pretty cheap.
