There is a stark difference between closing an issue and actually resolving the problem. You're right; lots of those issues are closed. The identified problems remain and don't go away merely because you close an software repo issue on it.
Yet this comes across as criticizing their project for what they’ve always said it was, while using said project to do so. Just a bit boggling.
No I'm criticising the Developers complaint that there's only a few active developers for Lemmy, and the rest of you freeloaders don't contribute and code.
The number of people who understand Rust, can code in it, know of Lemmy and want to contribute is very few. There would be More developers contributing to Lemmy if it weren't written in Rust.
Frustrating on some (A lot of) aspects but better this week than before. Hanging in there which seems to be my motto as of late. Lots of things I want to do, plenty of things I need to do but nothing I really feel like doing. Meh. Is this weeks' word.
because the small number of developers can’t keep pace with issues.
Maybe there'd be plenty more devs if it wasn't written in a new, up and coming, difficult language to understand let alone master. Maybe there'd be more code contributions if existing ones weren't closed because youdon't see this being an issue. Maybe there'd be more developers if you'd let there be.
Well maybe I joined the wrong room; I'm still in the one above, but there are no channels and no activity. Thanks though, I'll give it another look.
EDIT: Yeah, I left and rejoined and all I see going back for weeks is leave/join messages for other user, no discussion. Weird
I joined the listed Matrix chat for sublinks to discuss and learn more about the platform; but it seems entirely dead. Is there another reasonable platform for discussion and beta testing/installation?
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I feel the same way about Lemmy software, instances, and the Fediverse as a whole. Appreciate your post and efforts.
Well it is a hypervisor like ESXI, so same concept. Running one vm would be simple, but yes; overkill. It is not the same level of virtualzation that Virtualbox is. For that, you could look into using Virt-manager if using a Linux based host.
There's a lot more going on with restic aside from just that, but yes. So with an rsync of your home dir (for example), it's reliant on the FS to do compression and deduplication (ZFS,btrs), and/or it will still take up a lot of wasted space. Say you got ransom-wared. It's okay you have that rsync backup, but oh crap it got ransom-wared to. No more backups to try? Restic gives you snapshots for whatever increment you set and just handles it simply. You can then restore one file from any of the snaphots (history) or every single file. Restoreing 250kb vs 400TB is quite a difference. The benefits of this, are huge even beyond the fire and forget capability.
I mean, rsync handling everything via mirroring and pushed to a ZFS FS, would be sort of the same thing.
