Omfg this is so awful it’s likely either accidental truth or a damn good prediction

Jack Dorsey once again singing “but baby I’ve changed!”

hard pass from me.

Are API calls to the device signed or whatever? At a minimum one could snoop traffic to rev-eng the API, then recreate it on a lan-only segment

Yah, I really like this approach. Same reason I set up Timeshift and Mint Backup on all the user machines in my house. For others rsync + cron is aces.

I dunno… It’s wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven’t done a deep comparison in many years.

I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don’t want to think about configs anymore.

That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

I like the sound of that!

However it looks like has a lot of potential for a ‘xz’ style exploit injection, so I’ll probably skip it.

From the project’s README.md : The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues. When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.

I can’t decide if I’m happy or disappointed that no one suggested I make a Beyowolf cluster.

Thanks for that caveat. I could definitely see myself falling into that

See, this is interesting. I’m out here looking for the new shiny easy button, but what I’m hearing is “the old config-file based thing works really well. ain’t broken, etc.”

I may give that a swing and see.

this looks promising. Seems a little heavy-weight at first glance… How was it to get up and running?

LAN only. I may set up a VPN connection one day but it’s not currently a priority. (edited post to reflect)
