I mean… yes those are true? lol.

Surely an unpopular opinion lol.

Python is a great first language.

People need programmers to make boring things. Often boring things make more money than programming stuff for science.

We need both. Programming is a tool.

Just the parts with leaders that hate freedom.

You can still use either.

Python has never been a big language for app development… no idea why you would call it old school.

To answer op, Swift for iOS; Kotlin on Android.

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

I do with Mobius and it’s usable. I have a Synology NAS always there at home to sync to though. (Mobius syncs 1-2 hours per day in the background but it’s dynamic and not predictable thanks to Apple).

If I didn’t syncing between iOS devices would probably not work very well.

Yes instant syncing with iOS requires you to open the app if you can’t wait. I’ll often open Mobius if I’m working back and forth to make sure it syncs instantly.

You could probably create a Tailscale vpn network (or something similar) and setup Syncthing to use the Tailscale address of your laptop.

Obsidian + Syncthing is what I’ve settled on. Not perfect, but the best I’ve used.

Works great. Just remember syncing is not the same as a backup. Make sure you do backups!

He’s the monarch…. I’m … not surprised in the least.

Banish the monarchy if you want to complain.

Interesting. When I researched drives for my NAS the general conclusion was to avoid the reds. Go with iron wolf.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Great for prototyping and quick scripts.

That and such rich set of libraries for anything you want.

Jellyfin really is free :p

Also on Roku with a recent update

5 minutes after every computer boot to a NAS. Then nightly from the NAS to the cloud.

I use it daily, with ultisnips, to write reports at work!

The nice thing about Jellyfin is that you can point Jellyfin and Plex to the same media folders and both will work, to try it out.

I would get a Synology with intel Quicksync if you go the Synology route for hardware transcoding. Unfortunately, a lot of the new models don’t have it.

I just have a 220+ but would maybe get a 4 bay model if I did it again.
