@Bazoogle @1hitsong First of all - when it comes to creating programs, you want the output to be deterministic. Stochastic program output is a serious problem, as you _will_ get unreproducible bugs. Second, plain language is _not_ easy except for the simplest of tasks. Actual programs need to handle all kinds of corner cases and hardware weirdness and human weirdness. Your “plain language” goes from “do a thing” very quickly to “do a thing. but not that thing. or that other thing. and and and…”

@GreenKnight23 I don’t see that behavior. Rebooting into a new kernel and then running dist-upgrade, it always _always_ keeps one older kernel around. Bookworm and trixie.

@GreenKnight23 @oong3Eepa1ae1tahJozoosuu I’ve never seen that behavior in Debian. Is that some different type of configuration?

@djdarren @frongt That’s not how SyncThing is designed. It’s intended to be a full mirror.

I kind of emulate what you’re talking about with restic’s mount command. It’s a lot less intuitive than what you’d get from a cloud storage platform, but it’s Good Enough For Me. If you want to match cloud storage, you probably want nextcloud or seafile or something.

@IratePirate @eightys3v3n Snapraid offers scrub/bitrot protection - check out ‘snapraid scrub’.

@IratePirate Combine this with restic (or borgbackup, if that’s how you swing) for a bombproof selfhosting solution.

@Vejeta I can’t promise to package/include it, but looking at it is still on my todo list. The other work stuff has taken longer than expected, but once it wraps up I’m planning to look at your CEF stuff.

@PancakesCantKillMe @gedaliyah Okay, you’ve piqued my curiosity. What does your playlist for pets look like?

@Vejeta Hi! Chromium maintainer here, just wanted to say that I appreciate the write-up (and the associated bug report followup). I have some paid work that will involve dealing with qtwebengine’s embedded chromium - I’m hoping to address both QT and CEF at the same time. Currently focused elsewhere, but I’m thinking in a few months.
