please yell at me in the replies, i thrive on confrontation

This is like when people insist they're alpha. That is to say, if you have to say it, it's probably not true.

Ummmm you might care to remember that the USSR also "bailed out" Europe.

You know....in the sense that you were dragged into a war you had no intention of joining, by a foe that had already gone 11 rounds with the UK and Russia.

The UK spent an entire empire "bailing out" europe. Twice. But we don't hark on about it.

But you're right about one thing - no one is coming to bail you out. You've made it abundantly clear you will only act unilaterally. Europe will stay in its lane, quietly hope that Trump has a stroke, but ready to stand on its own for a 3rd time.

Sure if that works for you.

There are very few people in my field who can compete with me when it comes to capability and productivity - and that's in a highly developed country with some of the world's best educational institutions and companies to gain experience with.

There are no gay people in Russia.

Yeah I'm curious as to whether there's not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.

It's easy to understand when you think most comments are similar to yours and don't provide any insight as to why this might be a problem.

Maybe you could update your post and share your knowledge and experience with others, so that there are less people in the world who don't see the problem.

I agree mostly, but forks don't need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.

Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?

Yeah I've already got syncthing running on a pi which syncs to the nas.

Good suggestion thank you. I looked into this a couple of months ago but forgot all about it!

This looks nice, but I have a fear of sexy looking free stuff because usually it means in a couple of years they'll pull the rug from under you as they try and become profitable.

I am currently attempting to degoogle and at the same time move to an entirely self hosted ecosystem.

I've set up a NAS and have syncthing to deal with the dropbox/gdrive type things and have backup on a raid disk. What I am looking for now is a backup solution that can backup to my nas and in the future a remote device - probably to another nas at a family member's hous

Can anyone recommend a backup solution for this?

Technically I am not looking to degoogle as I don't gave a Google solution for this- but I guess I'm looking for a self hosted alternative to GCP backup.
