    I used to love C++ until I learned Rust. Now I think it is obnoxious, because even if you write modern C++, without raw pointers, casting and the like, you will be constantly questioning whether you do stuff right. The spec is just way too complicated at this point and it can only get worse, unless they choose to break backwards compatibility and throw out the pre C++11 bullshit




  • For any kind of storage, cloud or not, I think rclone should provide whatever you need for free (not entirely shure about metadata). You will likely want at least one script tho, since the commands can get quite long, depending on configuration.

    I don’t know whether this fits your needs better, but “Ente” and “Proton” offer E2E encrypted cloud storage with the option to share parts of it via link or accounts, as well as clients that automatically sync stuff for you (Android only for Ente I think)



  • Evangelical in the sense of protestant christians or in the sense of that crazy cult that’s going on over in the Americas? Maybe it’s just the news giving me the wrong idea, but I really don’t recognise my religion just one ocean away.

    I am a scepticist, but (or rather because) I grew up with a progressive church that allows and encourages critical thinking. Very tame stances overall, no overly aggressive rethoric, laughing and coloring you hair very much allowed. Then you cross the pond and hear fuming people talk about filthy infidels and holy wars like wth…

    I think these people are not necessarily easy to manipulate, but indoctrinated to hell and back


  • If Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora are S tier in terms of support, Arch is at least A+. There is virtually nothing you can’t do with it, albeit you might have to rely on community ports here and there.

    The rolling release approach is great to get the latest features very quickly, good for games and new hardware. There is a reason OpenSUSE adopted the approach, SteamOS is build on Arch, and KDE Linux will be as well.

    I would recommend to take a look at EndeavourOS, if you want a simplified graphical install.
