Selective Sync is the one feature that Resilio provides that I use.

It enables me to grab any file, using any device, at any time, from anywhere, over any network, simply and quickly. I really wish Syncthing had this capability. Oh well.

So if I'm traveling, I can download a movie from my library with my phone or iPad while connected to hotel wifi. The Resilio UI is simpler than turning on Tailscale, launching a file explorer connecting to my server, then copying. Plus it's a robust sync job - I don't have to think about it, if the network goes away, Resilio will pick up the sync again when it can. On my mobile devices, Resilio is only run if started by the user, but Syncthing runs all the time to ensure stuff like photos, downloaded files, Backups, etc, are sync'd to my server.

I switched from Resilio to Syncthing for everything else (mobile devices mostly, since I can use other tools on laptops), because it's much lighter to run. Resilio is hell on mobile devices if you have a large library, as it keeps the index in memory, while Syncthing uses a file-based approach for indexes. Resilio is also resource intensive on my server - again because of the large media library.

Externals are perfectly reliable, it's how you manage things that matters.

I've had (over 30+ years of machines now) as many internal drives fail as externals - which is to say not many.

The key with externals is they lack cooling, so don't hammer them like an internal. I have some externals that are 10+ years old. One is currently my authoritative drive as I reconfigure my setup. It sits by itself and I tacked on an old case fan to keep it cool if needed. (That said, I do prefer to not use externals, the enclosure is another point of failure, and USB connectivity can be a bit unreliable).

I'd look at your total data, consolidate it into a single drive and folder structure, and duplicate that across the drives you have, using the first one as the authoritative drive.

Then get a cloud backup like storj.io on that authoritative drive, so you get local duplication and cloud backup.

Funny the downvotes, and yet none of those downvoters cared to explain how it's insecure. So we can ignore them.

Insecure is an absolute term, implying that security is on/off. So we can ignore anyone saying "Lineage is insecure" as it's meaningless.

Nothing is secure. Everything has risks. The key is to manage those risks, and mitigate them as you can for your own threat model.

Part of the Graphene team issue is their ideological approach to security, notably around relocking the bootloader, acting as if Graphene is the only rom that can do this. I can relock my Pixel running Lineage...

Exactly, it's not free.

And uses the efficient, most corrupt mechanism To achieve it.

Simply removing the corruption of insurance companies in Healthcare would solve the problem much more effectively.

If you read up on the history, you'll see the costs skyrocket with insurance involvement.

Plus the cultural differences...they likely were shocked an employee had the audacity to walk away.

TSMC has been sending U.S. employees to Taiwan to observe the Taiwanese way

Why? They aren't working in Taiwan, regardless of where the company is from. Sounds a lot more like stereotypical arrogance from upper management, and they're getting a wakeup call that Americans won't put up with it.

Hell, I've walked out of jobs because a manager thought it was OK to yell at me... Yea, fuck you, good luck finding a replacement. Also, grow the fuck up.

Or they're only a part of it. Love the ambiguous words they use...

Lol, yep!

Never mind the Bridgeport lathe-ers milling out 80% lowers!

The question being asked that you're supposedly responding to?

Is there a Lemmy community for jmp.chat?

I recognize the words in your comments, but for the life of me I can't figure out what you're trying to say.

Less than 4'x8', more like 3-1/2' x 6'. Roughly 20 Sq ft. What kind of solar generation are you going to do in 20sq ft? Not much. That's like 9 panels, at 100w each under ideal conditions.

Once you start doing your own math for your own camper, it suddenly becomes painfully clear how limited solar still is, even with lithium batteries that weigh half as much as a lead acid, and store twice as much energy.
