  • I definitely love it for the "it just works" (or rather, you have full control to make it work) factor!

    I'm not familiar with the latest in BT audio, but isn't the standard still sub-par in that it has very limited overall frequency bandwidth, resulting in deep sacrifices to fidelity?

    I recall a detailed analysis of different BT audio codecs a while back, and the spectrum analysis always showed relatively high noise floor and frequency roll-off (hi-cut/low-cut) within the threshold of human hearing (though admittedly close to the limits). Also, I recall (and this could just be the 2016 tech I am familiar with) that overall bandwidth was limited in that if you played something with low frequency tones, the upper frequencies were dropped, or vice versa. I used to confirm this by using a flat EQ setting, then boosting any range, and you could easily detect the loss of frequency response in the adjacent or distant ranges.

    Is this a thing of the past now?

  • Adding to this comment that tmux allows team members spread through the world to work on the same terminal together on different SSH sessions.

    Both admins connect, then one spins up the tmux and the other can attach to it and both collaborate and see all inputs/outputs.

  • This system was built last Thursday and had about 204GB of 220GB free.

    Sorry for the delay in reply. I was unable to edit my post or make comments for a chunk of the day yesterday.

  • It seems the files were all living in a timeshift snapshot file, as photorec/testdisk showed no deleted files, and a few deleted empty folders in the /home/timeshift folder. I think this is just a painful lesson that we'll move on from.

  • Yes, the paid version (in use here) can create those bibisco2 files, though only the auto-save backups are by default. As you said, by default, the work is in a type of database format with a gibberish GUID-like naming convention.

    It's the auto-save files we're after.

    I'm getting setup with an external drive large enough to write recovered files to, but I don't like my odds at discerning how to add custom formats based on headers. I'll watch some tutorials and see what I make of it.

    Thanks for your comment!!!

  • Deleting the snapshot files lost considerable data including all files created after the aborted snapshot. The reboot that initially uncovered the problem led to a boot in "basic" xfce, and searching for the work files in read only mode from live boot shows no files/folders created in /home/username after the snapshot. It seems to have behaved like a VMware snapshot that had files living in the snapshot.

  • Do you have any idea why the files disappeared after reboot?

    I suspect the files were actually in a timeshift snapshot, so when those files were deleted, so were the files.

    I'll give your links a thorough read, thanks!

  • Here's one of multiple issues raised in the lemmy github for user portability: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

    They may choose to split the issue, as it's about community & user migration, and the former is far more complicated (from what I understand), as explained in paragraph 2 of this comment.

  • I feel you. Thanks for the comment. "Right to be Forgotten" was the phrase I needed to see for that to click.

    I think your analogy is off the mark only in that, in the situation you describe in the lemmy platform, the teacher's video disappears, but everyone can still see that they posted something.

    I do hope that in time, lemmy devs remove the username next to deleted posts.

    As I said to OP in another comment, lemmy gets a lot right when it comes to privacy, and much more right than most social media platforms. For me, I won't let perfect be the enemy of good.

  • What does post/comment permanency have to do with privacy? The linked post is an opinion, with no facts backing up their extreme claims.

    It's true that if you delete a comment, your username remains, but is that a matter of privacy? Was it acceptably private before deletion? Why does that change afterwards?

    I'm extremely skeptical of the poster sharing partial truths with opinion and no sources.

    Edit: I read some of the comments. Poor jorgesumle4, yeesh!

    Edit2: and won't be going anywhere near raddle, either. Oof! "My echo chamber isn't echoing right! I must now yell and spew some ad hominem hate! Ahh, much better."

    Edit3: To @orientalsniper@lemmy.world, I would say your OP question, "is there truth to this?" is being asked about an opinion. Can opinion be true or false? I don't really understand the premise. If you're posting on the public internet, that's not private. Full stop. Any platform on the public internet, no matter how you can or cannot delete your contributions, is not private.

  • My thinking on the topic is that if a reddit sub/community decides to make the complete transition to lemmy, the mod team should be free to pull their content in if they choose.

    I don't really see the purpose of porting old content though, unless it has historical value.

    That said, anyone can definitely spin up their own instance and grab the full text dump of reddit from before PushShift was disallowed. You'd need to build some tools to do that I suspect.

    Edit: clarity

  • I've been rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel with my GF, who had never watched either. I know Joss is on the world's shit list for good reason, but I still enjoy his writing, and it's a part of my past that influenced some of my world views that I am proud of.

    Also embarking on an experiment to test the viability of federated social media, go figure!
