This desktop version goes against everything that makes jupyter awesome.

What's wrong with it, then?

I miss the "Zero To Production In Rust", which is quite good.

Luca has a PR up to add it https://github.com/sger/RustBooks/pull/55

Why do you miss kopia from your benchmark?

Did you mean to reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34153119?

[m3nu → trulyrandom]

Probably. My benchmark was mostly to compare Borg v1.2 and v2 and some network optimizations. Restic was a stretch goal really.

For Kopia, I do try it once a year, but I still find the docs and CLI args confusing. Running the server part behind a reverse proxy needs 2x HTTPS and searching the forum to get it somewhat working. For a webdav target, the progress display doesn't really work and it's not possible to cancel a backup run. So for now I'm observing and will retry next year.

I tried all these in my environment, about 2 years ago and kopia wins for me too. Is there any advantage of borg over kopia since then?

[aborsy → beci]

Reliability. Borg has been around for a long time, and is far more mature.

I wouldn’t trust my backups to Kopia (unless for experimentation).

>> when multiple free desktop and mobile book readers exist

Do you know a good list of available readers? I still searching for the one which fit for me. This one could be a good candidate after some polish.

Great work!

Maybe have to reconsider layout for big screens similar to mine. But browser resize is fine for now.

Wow, I didn't know how easy to do these things in arch. You made my day!

I can't imagine any situation, when this could be the bottleneck.

A cloud host launching a new 30GB VM securely?

Edit: nvm they probably do this out of band. But still, things like this.

when thousands of megabytes allocated then deallocated for multiple users, this indeed cause impact on your application.

simply running spring-framework tests are enough to demonstrate the impact (of course jvm with related arguments)
