  • El Zonte, a village on the coast of El Salvador is the self-proclaimed bitcoin capital of the country. Bitcoin is accepted almost everywhere.

  • I dont think its that big, but bitcoin is also very slow, which wont help.

  • Yes, it's very strange to see Sam enter this world. I wish him all the best though.

  • Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • I've been using Linux and Unix for about 25 years and I've never had a malware problem.

    I'm not saying they dont exist (they do), but malware for those systems seems much rarer.

  • Can't wait to hear how much a "lower cost" macbook costs. I bet it's still pricey.

  • Simple inexpensive cloud backup?

  • I'd be surprised if you find cheaper, but if you do, please report back.

    Fwiw, BB have been super reliable for me over that past few years I've used them.

  • There's a plan where you pay some tiny amount per gb. Thats the one to use.

  • I use restic to backup immich (and everything else) to b3.

    Be sure to stop the docker container while you backup to avoid skew.

    Backblaze saved my ass at the end of last year when I had a hardware failure.

  • Is it a bad practice to replace compiler warnings with a bunch of TODO notes?

    Jump

  • It's not ideal.

    Depending on the kind of warning, you may be able to re-write the code in question including a 'todo!()' to capture the "i need to think about this" case.

    This way you get a crash at runtime. This is preferable to continuing execution with incorrect computation.

    It's best just to fix the warnings ASAP. They are usually trivial anyway.

  • Is there a tool where I can compare multiple copies of the same file in different directories / hard drives to check if files got corrupted?

    Jump

  • You could do a dry run with rsync and see what it reports needs update.

    I think you'd have to force it to use checksums instead of time stamps.

  • Yikes. The mere idea of running an AI over my inbox scares me.
