@nobodyinperson you’re already using mbsync. For all its drawbacks I don’t know of a better tool for what it does. Maildir’s design may seem odd but there are very good reasons for each facet. Possibly they aren’t of concern for your use-case (the three sub dir thing is for concurrent, lock-free writers relying only on POSIX semantics) but it isn’t a backup tool as such. I’m guessing you don’t run the mail server?

@nobodyinperson subject in the file name is going to seriously limit your options. I’d reconsider that requirement tbh

@david_chisnall @tudor oh yeah there’s nothing in common between the two system calls, merely the discussion of system calls reminding me of that one

@tudor @david_chisnall I’m also not a FreeBSD user. This reminded me of an AIX (I think) signal which sounds useful, a pre-oom killer, “get your shit together” signal. Might be SIGWARN

@neil @fox literally the first sentence of the post!

Really interesting to see the American lens applied to UPFs https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/391795/ultra-processed-foods-science-vegan-meat-rfk-maha

I’ve never had to add “elon” or “trump” filters on mastodon before which speaks to the quality of my feed, at least up to now. Perhaps it’s a symptom of growth (and ultimately growth a good thing?)

@plexus I would love there to be more “pirate” radio. Even shoutcast. I miss the days of tuning into something utterly unpredictable in the dead of night…

@plexus commercial radio absolutely. In the UK we’re spoilt by excellent radio channels provided by the BBC. they’re “Ad” free, although they cross-promote their own stuff which can be frustrating. I haven’t ever been able to tolerate commercial radio.

@metacosm @MarioTorre ‘tis the season! ;) it’s reportedly on (at least) the title track https://www.nin.wiki/The_Downward_Spiral_(song)

@agreeable_landfall @jwz the Sansa fuze is different to the iPod. It has different drivers and different bugs. As it happens the fuze v1, in common with the iPod 5, doesn’t reliably work over usb with rockbox. There’s definitely a bug tracking this for fuze v1, but I’m not sure about for the iPod. (Source: I’ve had a half-dozen fuzes, v1 and v2, actually tried to fix this very bug but failed, and now use an iPod 5 with rockbox)

@MarioTorre @metacosm Trent Reznor reportedly borrowed what was John Lennon’s Mellotron for the downward spiral (it’s buried in the mixes)

@neil @ygathgoch thx. There’s some notes I followed here https://anarc.at/hardware/tablet/kobo-clara-hd/ (did I paste this already?)

@ygathgoch @neil I recently achieved this by putting syncthing on the kobo

Does minimalist Santa take stuff away at Christmas?

@willhbr Love breaking the word “password” to wrap the line there too

@pndc you sound perfect. Can I send you a question via email? I'll attempt to DM you my address

@RogerBW you've got mail

I could use a couple of volunteer Atom-feed lovers interested in 3d printing for a private beta or something

@liw @neil it’s proven a theory had though, that I will basically fill the full capacity of whatever bag I have. So perhaps having a huge bag is actually a drawback.
