For just files I’d use Syncthing or Resilio (I keep hundreds of gigs synced with ST). Resilio has a feature that’s very useful - Selective Sync. This allows you to setup a sync job that syncs the index of files, but doesn’t sync the actual files until you select a file(s) to sync on the remote device. I use this to access my media files from anywhere (3TB) which I obviously don’t want to try to sync the entire folder to my phone, etc.

But since you effectively are on the same LAN, you can use any file copy tool the respective OS’s support.

Though for WAN connections, I prefer tools with some redundancy/resilience, since those connections can be slow or experience drops, and regular copy tools aren’t designed to contend with that (in Windows the only tool I can think of off hand is Robocopy, but I think Teracopy will at least show you if a file copy fails).

It really depends on your use-case, what you’re trying to solve for.

Including the table.

Ewww

As for the sheetrock in the fireplace, why not at least just put in a gas burner for decoration?

Or, block the chimney, and put in a decorative grate with some logs, maybe add some holly?

And buy more things when you realize you need something that’s in product V but not product A.

But, no Foss dev wants to do anything about it because SMS sucks balls.

So regardless of how many messages are sent FOSS devs aren’t interested.

Yea, I’d take the approach of having the server monitor a folder, and then just drop files in that folder to be converted.

There are a number of ways to transfer files to that folder, tools like FolderSync (Android), Syncthing or Resilio (every OS) can handle this.

Whole grain bread means it has some whole grain in it.

Bread made from nothing but whole grain is a very heavy, tough loaf that most people today wouldn’t like.

What’s the connection to someone struggling to learn to drive?

Because that’s what I see, and frankly don’t understand it. Today’s cars are tremendously easier to drive than what I learned on, and you should see what my parents had to do to pass their tests, driving manual transmissions without synchronizers, having to start on a hill - smoothly, etc.

All I see here is someone who finds driving particularly difficult, like I find math particularly difficult, or some people find spelling or grammar particularly difficult.

If anything, I give OP credit for sticking with it and not giving up, despite the cost. It’s really hard to keep trying when it feels like you’re just always struggling.

Can’t get past the trailers or previews. Awful.

Wholesome?

I don’t see juvenile irresponsibility and adversarialism as “wholesome”. If you wanna say funny, to each his own, but in no way is that show “wholesome”.

Oh, God, such nonsense

Nah, it’s that it’s not as “deep” as it thinks it is.

Like 97% of them

Damn few shows are worth my time these days. Re-tread it’s galore, with simplistic emotional appeal to get you to react and continue to watch. Essentially producers saw what worked for “reality” TV in the 90’s and applied that same juvenile, transparent, boring approach to new shows.

So 2 is now all people over 60?

They did?

Never used it, never even intentionally been on the website.

There’s some truth here, like poorly-treated children probably have difficulty with empathy, except I’ve known a few people that had very hard childhoods and are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met, as if they developed past those issues to understand how important empathy is.

I also come from a large family, and while my siblings and my cousins had very similar upbringings, the variability in things like empathy and justice is extensive even among siblings (notably including twins).

To me it seems like there’s a strong element of innate character trait with this stuff, as we’ve watched kids grow up and seen their character at 2 years old remain consistent into adulthood. If this stuff were driven mostly by environment, then at least most kids would be similar… And we’ve found they aren’t, it’s all over the map, unpredictable by the environment.

Not to say environment doesn’t/can’t influence, it certainly can, but I don’t believe it’s usually the primary driver, just in cases where the environment is notably negative

For backup check out SMS Backup/Restore. I have 10+ years of sms backup with it, all readable as text or using Excel.

I’ve never found a good solution to this SMS problem - there’s seems to be nothing out there (probably because FOSS devs think SMS needs to die, and I agree).

I did find my solution last year: JMP.chat - I think they’re considered a virtual cell provider. Port your number to them, then all your SMS/MMS gets piped into XMPP, which you can access with an XMPP client on any device - Gajim on Windows/Linux, Cheogram and Monocles (plus others) on Android, Snikket and others on iOS. My SMS works even if my phone is off. Prices are really good, so good that I use a different SIM in my phone for a data connection, as I no longer need an SMS/voice connection (calls are routed via VOIP in Cheogram/XMPP).

Interestingly I just watched the Archer fugue state episodes yesterday…

Yea, eff those damn balls, and I had some nice mice back then.

I recently cleaned up several large boxes of cables, parts, etc. Found a track ball, but not a single ball mouse in there.

If not sooner
