Wow, just tried Speed of Sound and Pika Backup. I can actually recommend this to non-tech-savy people; so easy!

Is this neovim with emacs shortcuts?
I still didn’t make the transition from vim to neovim. If VIe is a preconfigured neovim that looks like this screenshot I would try it if keyboard shortcuts would be vim-like and not emacs.

poinck@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•Btrfs Performance From Linux 6.12 To Linux 7.0 Shows Regressions1·21 days agoI have use cases for btrfs, xfs and zfs. Somehow ext4 feels legacy or for small systems like Raspberries or when the cloud-image provided is already ext4.
I use BTRFS for personal PCs because of the subvolume feature (since one year or so), ZFS for backup/archive when I need raid and encryption capability without hardware raid and for proxmox. XFS is for large storage servers where hardware raid is already established or very special cases when a lot of inodes are needed.
I have a similar need and I am curious whether my current solution is any good:
The data of interest is on a server which can only be accessed with ssh inside the institution. I’ve setup a read-only nfs share to a server which has a webserver (https enabled). There, I set up a temporary webdav share to the read-only nfs mount point and protected with htpasswd, hence external institution members do not have accounts at our institution.
As soon as the transfer is complete I remove all the shares (nfs, webdav).

And the person who moves more on their chair will have less back and neck pain. I do the same while using Linux. And I have a standing desk at work which is up at least 1/3 of the time. (:

It is like sleep, but does not need any power. You need to do regular restarts after major updates (new kernel and stuff), though.

poinck@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?English1·1 month agoFor suspend-to-ram (sleep) your swap file/partition/volume does not matter.
You can save power and time by using suspend-to-disk (hibernate). For this I recommend giving it 150% swap space compared to your RAM. During hibernate you can switch off your power supply completely to even save the standby power consumption of it. Maybe you know of power distributors with switch.
Waking from hibernate has almost the same “issues” as waking from sleep. I have zero issues with an AMD gpu.

poinck@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?English31·1 month agoI use hibernate (suspend-to-disk). This way I can save power and have all the apps open when I login after resume from disk. Full reboot happen after important security or major updates.
My swap volume is 150% the size of my RAM so that there is never a situation where I cannot do this. The only program I close before
systemctl hibernateis my browser. That saves sone wear on the SSD.Hibernate works surprisingly well on Linux. Even with LUKS encryption you can make it work.
poinck@lemmy.worldto Gnome@discuss.tchncs.de•This Week in Gnome #238 Navigating MonthsEnglish1·1 month agoWhen will I migrate from Remmina to RustConn?
Downvoting because, when I think of FOSS it is all public transport.
Can some create a train/bus version of this meme? I don’t have the skill or authority to do that.
RustConn looks very promising. Could it retire Remmina?
Hmm, so if life and/or job is not exciting, the percieved time is fast?
