Just got this via email. Well that's great, just as I moved a high bandwidth client to them a couple months ago. I love the "if you don't like it feel free to cancel" in the email also. SMH.

I have tested all of these also, and settled on borg + borgmatic. It has been absolutely rock solid. Borgmatic just rounds everything together in such a nice way. The documentation is great.

I'm pushing it all to a Hetzner storage box, as well as a local NAS. Super affordable!


Same, borgmatic has been running flawlessly for a long time, it’s great.

Also backing up to a Hetzner storagebox, so it’s quite cheap too.

Wow TIL, thanks!


Add me as another vote that misses them. I totally understand you need a break and other obligations take more time, but I hope you can still find the time to do them occasionally. :)


Maybe I am just lucky, but here is my experience as of literally today.

I just installed Fedora 40 (KDE 6) using the Fedora-40-20240304.n.0 nightly ISO. I then enabled the NVIDIA and Steam repos and installed both. Also installed asusctl. Everything seems to work perfectly.

This is on a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2021 (GA401QM) laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HS + NVIDIA 3060. The screen is at full resolution at 120 Hz. Keyboard lights work, audio works, WiFi worked out of the box, sleep works etc.

I tried a few games on Steam and they all worked out of the box without any tweaks what so ever. I also find I am really enjoying KDE. It must be over 15 years since I last tried KDE but now I really think it is way better than Gnome.

My desktop is still on Windows, I'm waiting for HDR support. I'm so excited to get off Windows forever. It really feels like Linux is finally good enough.


> I'm waiting for HDR support

What HDR content would you like to view? I think my screen supports it, but I have long forgotten about that feature — maybe it wasn't even working when I tested it with a MacBook, but I couldn't tell any difference.

"KDE#Plasma 6.0 introduced experimental HDR support for Wayland session: System Settings > Display & Monitor > High Dynamic Range > Enable HDR." according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support


My use case is for gaming. I know there is some preliminary support now but I'm going to wait until everything is stable and "mostly works (tm)". :) Thanks though!


Does it still require a login? If so thanks but no thanks.


It does.


Taking them an awfully long time to start shipping to more EU countries. At this rate I doubt I'll ever buy one. Not really keen on using freight forwarding services and dealing with all that in case of needing support.


I completely understand where you're coming from, I hated my 2019 also. It was quite warm even on idle. If a external display was connected the GPU had a bug where even at idle it used a lot of power and the whole machine was hot hot hot. Any work what so ever would make the fans unpleasantly audible.

M1/M2 Macs are in a completely different league. I'm on a 16" M1 Max and it is just a dream from a noise / temperature point of view. The fans _never_ come on during normal web dev work. And the laptop is cold to the touch. I only hear the fans come on during gaming and heavy compiling.


Filament is absolutely amazing. I'm super excited for this release (and Livewire v3).

I built many projects with Laravel Nova and Filament is by far the better tool. In the past year I converted most Nova projects over to Filament. Way more flexible, and the developers are also way more receptive to feedback. And best of all--it's free!

After multiple years of React/Next.js chaos working in this ecosystem again feels like sitting on the couch under a warm blanket.


How much time passed between reaching out and publishing the article? Who decides how much time is "enough"? You could technically send out an email, and then immediately publish the article. After all a few seconds passed with no reply...

Because of this the line is meaningless (to me at least).


> How much time passed between reaching out and publishing the article?

Presumably the normal amount of time? Do you think journalists just go publishing things haphazardly? I get the feeling you have no experience in the world of reporting.


Having been on both side of press like this “immediately” means a couple of hours at most. Sometimes it means “I spoke to someone, they said they’d come back to me, but I didn’t want to wait”.

I’ve seen cases where emails are sent outside of work hours on a Friday/Weekend so the journalist can claim that the subject “did not respond to repeated requests for comment” on Monday morning.

Journalists often have a story they want to tell. They intentionally arrange things to support their story.


And I suspect you've spent too much time in the world of reporting if you think that journalists are some paragons of truth and honesty.


It really depends where you are. On one hand side, Matt Levine is a journalist. On the other, so are people in the Daily Mail. Yet, there's a massive difference there.
