Exploring snac2 as a lighter Fediverse alternative. I'm a longtime #BSD and #Linux user. Better on the desktop than the server but always learning.

I'm experimenting with my first spreadsheets in #Nextcloud. It's amazing how you can do everything in a web interface. Plus I can use #LibreOffice on the desktop because the files are mirrored with Nextcloud Desktop.

Rsync opens the slopgates, regressions and bugs ensue
Andrew Tridgell, developer of rsync, has published a blog post addressing the massive surge in "AI" code submissions and the string of regression...
What's the alternative? I have used openrsync on #OpenBSD, but what's the move in Linux?

I used to sync 300 GB with #Syncthing. Now I'm syncing 5 MB with N#extcloud. It's baby steps. I'm still doing double backups of the entire filesystem (#DejaDup and #rsync) to separate USB hard drives....
In addition to backups, I had two desktops pretty much mirrored with that huge Syncthing sync. While it was convenient in a lot of ways (and not so much when there were conflicting changes), I'd rather have one primary data hub and lots of backups and then pass the things I'm working on through the sync and not everything.

I find myself doing a lot of writing in #Nextcloud Notes. The interface looks nice and is responsive, and everything is synced to my local filesystem with Nextcloud Desktop Sync. And now that I have nextcloudcmd on my new Debian console-only laptop, I can work on the files from there too.
I can work on "notes" (anything with .md) on the local filesystem, in any app that can access those files, or in the GNOME Circle notes app #Iotas, which uses a SQLite database but offers first-class Nextcloud sync.

Doing my first #Debian install in a long time. This has always been my "home" distro.
Compared a 1920px laptop with one that was about 2550. They look the same
