Same. It’s an OS not a lifestyle choice. Good OS though - two years now I think, and not complaints.

I wouldn’t backup the volumes directly. Better to use the mount points as you suggest then back up those mounted directories. If it’s a database that usually needs to have its records exported into a backup friendly format. Typically I will do a db dump from a cron job in the host system to summon a script inside a container which writes to a mounted dir which is the thing that I back up.
Jottacloud is pretty good. They have a Linux CLI too
plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu Joins the Movement: X11 Officially Being Phased Out11·2 months agoOh wow. I am suddenly less excited about our Wayland future.
Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there’s a VM for that.
plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.orgto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Peersuite is an opensource alternative to slack/discord20·2 months agoThis is a cool idea. We’re not super happy with slack at work but I admit we haven’t given matrix a proper go yet. Wish we could stop for like a year just to evaluate the stack and the toolset. I kid. Sort of.
Yeah I think I am doing the Stockholm syndrome thing too. But as the futo keyboard chap said: is the software you use serving your needs or the needs of the creators?
Some things are indeed more difficult. But if it’s a simple Python script even I can make a PR to help out. And the feeling of using software that isn’t designed to send my data back to a megacorp is fucking awesome. So I’m in, I think?

plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?6·3 months agoProbably ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger
I had been holding onto ComicRack for years and really loved it for scraping and generating tags before adding to Komga. I was a happy camper when i found ComicTagger.
Kiwi Marmite is awesome, but I do love promite.

plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why Vim Is More than Just an Editor – Vim Language, Motions, and Modes Explained17·3 months agoAfter a decade of using the bare minimum vi modes I just yesterday discovered I could use visual mode to jointly indent multiple lines.
I will still prefer pycharm every day of the week over vim, but yesterday I needed to modify code on a server and rebuild some docker containers. I couldn’t be arsed setting up my local env, making a merge request etc and was pretty impressed that a combination of screen, vim, docker compose and git - all available via SSH, was a complete toolset for getting an emergency change deployed and an app running again.
Some wholesome internet right here
that is cool. I hadn’t tried konsole before - there are menus for days in here, I’ll never get any work done lol. Slick, and makes that fedora kde fling I have been considering more tempting.
update to say that tabby is nice for ssh including key auth, and with profiles and groups it gets most of the job done. There is an sftp “plugin” but all it does is summon sftp. Will see if I can get it to open filezilla and use the env vars in calling the command. Setting aside RDP for now as guac looks like a good fit there.
