'b' beginning of current word. unless you're on the beginning already, in which case it's the beginning of the previous word. cries

maybe it's finally time I learn vim motions, they seem really elegant

reads motions.txt

oh god

@kittylyst @jezhiggins the very same

@sxa I've been meaning to trial Immich for ages

@sxa in recent years, in Apple's cloud. There's a ~5 year period where I tried to sync to Google, and they're still there; older, I have ~138G sitting on my NAS. So a tremendous amount of de-duplicating is necessary.

one way that might work is: plan NOT to preserve the stream. Treat photos as ephemeral by default, so that they will disappear. And then treat photos to keep by exception.

Revisited one of my perrenially backburnered personal projects: revamp organising digital photos. Totally overwhelmed, no idea where to start.

@evan just haven’t got around to it, fully planned to

Another day marvelling that anyone ever gets anything done using O360

Morning!

Found a way to speed up `xfs_repair`: `mkfs.ext4`

First skate on new skates. Feel mostly good!

@sol this works for synthesisers too!

“The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together”

I'm going to be able to partially repair this by scripting the download of the matching *files.xml metadata files and then extracting the SHA1 sums. Most of the derived files will be out-of-date, but most of the originals are probably unchanged.

I attempted to download all items in an archive.org collection via torrents (>255 items, >255 torrents). Theory being: potential to get some data from peers, lighten the load on IA; built-in checksumming and repair. I've come to the conclusion that sadly this doesn't work very well. My torrent daemon struggles with so many; lots are permanently at 99%; IA torrents don't include any metadata identifying original vs derived files

@lautreg @mdione I run my own nextcloud. This was files someone else was sharing to me, so they made the choice of onedrive, not me

This is both slower and less reliable than my 1990s dialup modem

Is OneDrive serious software used by actual people? I’ve been sent a share link to some files which aren’t numerous or especially large and it’s sending me ZIPs at about 10kiB/s which end up containing only half the files and an apologetic __all_errors.txt listing the missing ones. 🤡🤡🤡
