Fair. I've clearly not worked at a place like this before!

Oh, well, I'm talking about not having to password-lock and unlock your stuff constantly. For long-term storage, sure, that's fine; anything else would be way too tedious, though, no? I guess it depends on your use case and if you could locally automate the locking and unlocking or something.

I don't understand how being forced to use one method of travel for daily commute is empowering.

You're... what? You're not forced to work where you work; you can change to a closer workplace. Cars made it possible at all to go as far as you can for work. How do they remove freedom if they increase your options for where you can go?

I wonder if the most objective viewpoint is just that of neutrality; it's not better nor worse but just different. EVs sourcing from nuclear energy are probably objectively better.

the app allows you to only sync when charging and on wifi

Wait, so Syncthing via Termux only runs when charging?

Or just running syncthing in termux

But can it be configured to not run if the phone's not charging?

Have other files since made their way in that aren't part of Syncthing's files-to-sync? Is it possibly including trash-can copies?

Wow, that's pretty wild. How do you limit its battery drain, though? Syncthing-Fork can be configured to run only when the phone's charging. Can Termux achieve that?

Oh.

Boring! lol jk. As a side note, I'm impressed that that backwards name is fully pronounceable...

You don't need to self-host at all! Daisy-chain your needed files via Syncthing and Syncthing-Fork. That's literally what I do with KeePassXC and KeePassDX, keeping everything offline.

Dang. This is such a great summary of what's been happening that I will copy this for all future political discussions I have with anyone.

And attribute @orclev@lemmy.world, obviously.

Is that like, an abbreviated reference to orcs levitating or something?

You cannot prepare for both; it'd take too much time and energy to focus on one path and diversifying your efforts would lead to either one failing even worse.

I think commonplace civilians like you and I have probably no chance. Solar is one thing. Water-sourcing and -filtering is entirely another. You also need lots of land and farmhand knowledge to grow food lasting beyond a year; winter would kill a lot. Even chickens, which could be a major source of sustenance otherwise, barely produce eggs during the winter.

Our best bet is really a co-op.

Holy... I cannot believe that many people would bother to come to an unknown event. Unbelievable, lol. Thanks for sharing.
