Can you mention what you've tried so far? I'm happy with borgbackup, but I don't know if it matches your bullet points. Still, I'd be surprised if mainstream backup solutions corrupt your backups in case of sleep /

Yes exactly. I would also debate the popularity point: how many games released by 2003 (release year of The Frozen Throne) still have an active pro scene, meaning people whose job is to play this game at tournaments? With the rise of stream

Couldn't the language demand that, as long as a memory chunk is allocated and not freed, there's a path to use this memory chunk? Meaning it's not a memory leak in the sense of 'we are certain (we could prove) that this

You have to take into account their skills as soft. eng. relative to their skills as VCs for it to be true. Maybe some are better at leading startups to success as soft. eng. and not so much as VCs.

Players like vlc and mpv allow you to dynamically shift the audio wrt the video while playing, so one can just play around a bit until the perfect setting is found.

How do you distinguish a proper currency from a hobby currency? I can think of these criteria on the top of my head: * trading volume * number of shops where it's accepted * whether you can pay taxes with it Did you have something like

I'm not sure what kind of defaults you would like to see. For instance I have this in my i3 config: bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id amixer sset 'Master' 2%+ bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id

The easy answer to your second point and some integrated experience is the unix philosophy of 'do one thing but do it right'. I was also frustrated at the beginning, but I dealt with it and now I have i3 mappings to do most of wha

By default where? I think it comes with coreutils, so for instance it'd be pretty hard to get a Debian installation without it, but maybe you have a more exotic system?

2 GB on a fresh install? That would be definitely a bug. Did you check the storage usage (settings, storage)? Is it there as well? Your debug logs would also be welcome for messages taking hours to appear. For mobile it's usually somet

It depends on what you do with the content: if you're just using it for yourself and can afford it to break at random times, scrapping can be fine (although maybe still more time-consuming depending on the website). But if you need pre

Nice post, but 2020 and still using an unauthenticated connection (plain netcat) to transfer data including executables (if I understood correctly) is not something you can justify when there are plenty of safe alternatives (e.g. wormhole,

This doesn't seem related to apt vs yum, rpm etc. but more to replacing essential dependencies by third-party versions. What happens if one uses the same kind of hacks on CentOS? Does it handle these better?
