What could possibly go wrong...?

(FWIW - I am referring to the potential for misuse at scale)

I'm waffling between that or just setting up a bare git repo. Am prepping a VM or two to explore the pros/cons of each approach and to dive into the implications.

It's funny - this project idea seems to free bubbling up everywhere this past week. I'm sure I'm seeing the consequences of search algorithms, but on Lemmy, it's nice to see what is a definite and pleasant coincidence.

That is the next item on my to-do list. I've already installed my own gitea container to run at home. Yes, I could use a public repo (set private) but I wanted I learn how to do this and besides, I wanted to cast a wider net for which files to store but not worry about inadvertently publishing something with passwords embedded...

This is the only suitable comment.

Can you not just backup the pg txn logs (with periodic full backups, purged in accordance with your needs?). That's a much safer way to approach DBs anyway.

(exclude the online db files from your file system replication)

Most of the Deloitte consultants I've dealt with are already bots, whether or not they are wearing a power suit.

I really hope it's the "Any" key. I have upwards of 40 ys of modal forms from which there is no escape because they demand I press any key to continue...

I suppose what I mean is that i am happy to select whatever software is best for the task at hand. I have no issue with paying for software if it serves my needs. In a few cases, that limits my options to running windows as commercial versions are unavailable on Linux, and it is my hope that more commercial orgs start making their wares available for Linux, especially in cases where there's no available alternative.

As for splitting hairs on the difference between gratis and libre, life's too short (so if I used incorrect terminology, c'est la vie...)

Fair enough! My only work with video has been very lightweight stuff and I haven't needed much else. Shotcut definitely has quirks, though I know it a lot better than kdenlive. Have not played enough with Resolve to comment, though I have it on my list to try when the opportunity presents itself.

Kdenlive and shotcut are also great.

There are lots of individual applications that do pretty well in and of themselves (darktable, gimp, krita, etc.) they have varying degrees of niceness. But what Adobe can do has no analogue in Linux land (paid or not) - it's the multi-device interoperability. It makes for unparalleled workflow. I am not an advocate your Adobe - I really wish there was someone else that did it, and I believe it is something worth paying for. Figma maybe? (but it's all cloud and was nearly knocked out by Adobe...)

(FWIW, I've never found gimp to be pleasant to use, but that is only my own subjective experience. Others like it and that's a good thing.)

I tend to agree. And people need to realize that Adobe's secret sauce is not in their apps, it's in the multi-device interoperability. I love lightroom, but it's not the photo editing ability (darkroom has that), rather it's the fact that I can seamlessly work the same catalogue from any device (even if I don't use their cloud for anything but smart previews).

I think Adobe would cash in if they supported Linux - for want of a workable alternative, I'd even pay them.

Music device manufacturers need to support Linux too. NI Maschine (and others) is simply a non-starter...
