git LFS might be for you. If the data takes so long to reprocess I think it is fine to check it in (possibly using LFS).

I used to do this, but imho the used language is hardly a useful index. When does it happen that you want to see everything written python? For me that's never.

Also where do you put multi-language projects? Like, go backend with typescript frontend or whatever.

I push every project I work on right away to my gitea instance. If I expect not to work on something for some time I just delete the local copy.

When I change devices or hit file size limits, I’ll compress and send things to my NAS.

Well, that sounds inconvenient.

Damn right he owes us!! /s

How is being python-based a good thing?

Seems like a year ago he was actually using Linux himself. Wondering what happened that made him feel so butthurt.

Love how the top comment doesn't even answer the question. But TIL, I guess. If I had known this option existed, I probably would have used it. I'm going to play the "not a native english speaker"-card on this one.

Did this man just call himself a fool?

This is the correct way. I wish hetzner had a storage box size between the 1TB and 5TB version though.

ht o you men? You cn typ jut fine ith keybor like tht.

It's also a good way to never actually getting the ball rolling on a new hobby, and instead obsessively research what the "correct" way of doing xyz is and then be too overwhelmed by all the opinions to actually get started yourself.

I think this somewhat depends on how tech savvy the people you want to give editing access are. If they know how to handle git and write markdown, I'd go with a git repository with (for example) mkdocs and setup CI/CD to automatically deploy to Github Pages. This would be free. If they are more like the typical MS Word andy, I'd go with a self hosted instance of bookstack. You could host it for example on fly. Unfortunately bookstack does not (yet) support sqlite so you'll also need mariadb, which will make hosting it on fly slightly more expensive (but probably still far below $10), because you'll need 2 machines in total. One of which you can't scale to zero. There are probably other cloud providers where its going to be cheaper though.

 

This is about programming specifically, but I guess you can experience similar things with many other activities as well. So if you can even remotely relate your thoughts are very welcome.

Alright so, every time when I sit down to programme it tends to start out great, I feel relaxed and kind of looking forward to it. However, at some point there is going to be a bug in the code or some library does not work as I expect it to. I then start googling; try something out; doesn't work; google some more; try more stuff; still doesn't work. While this is of course just what coding is like, during these "google, test, repeat" sessions I tend to go faster with every iteration and at some point I am in such a rush that it feels like I hardly remember to breathe. Needless to say that this is freaking exhausting. After an hour of this my brain is just mush.

Of course, the obvious solution to this is to just take a break as soon as I notice me speeding up. I will try to do this more, but sometimes it feels like I can't. This unsolved bug will sit in my mind so that I can't stop thinking about it even if I'm not at the keyboard. "It must be solved. Now". Of course it doesn't, but that's what my mind is telling me.

In a few months I will probably be working as a full time dev again and until then I have to have solved this problem somehow if I want to do this any longer than a couple of years.

Ideally I want programming to be a meditative experience and feel refreshed afterwards instead of completely drained. This might be illusionary, but at least I would want it to be draining more like I've been on a good run, instead of feeling like being hit by a truck.

Anyways I'm wondering if any of you can relate to this and maybe has solved this in some way. Does this ever happen to you? What do you do to prevent this from happening? I appreciate any thoughts you have on this.

 

I lost my token – what do I do?

If you lose your token, it may still be possible to reset your password, provided you set up a password recovery method BEFOREHAND. If you did, then it will be possible for you to reset your password by e-mail or text message, for example, after which you can create a new password. Doing this will also disable two-factor authentication for your account: You will now log in using only your newly created account password and can access all features of your mailbox.org office as usual.

Well, the 2FA implementation at mailbox.org is already pretty weird, but isn't it rendered completely useless by this?
