Thanks! So, why does it matter? It’s a server, you can have it to do the job unattended. Or does it affect other services and you’re unable to use anything else before it finishes?

If not joking, what would you want a huge amount of ram for on a server?

[–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Imagine buying one for cheap because it has some bad blocks and it’s unreliable to keep real valuable data on it! I have a 8 TB HDD bought for like less than a $100 a decade ago, from a friend though, as he had some bad blocks there. I host only media for the HTPC there, but it’s been a solid all these years. And when it dies, sad, but nothing valuable that I cannot redownload.

Not yet there, I think. It’s not that fast to fall from economy number one to irrelevant peripheral country. They’d get there quickly if they’d not change the track, but it would get them much more than a year. A decade or two is my guess. But I believe in Americans, they’d manage that idiot and his clique, I believe.

What do you mean by USA question mark?

I bet Russians en masse are dumb enough to not know that infamous fact.

Russians? LOL. The best they can do is to fucking eat the poor little bird, as their economy is fucked and they are stupid enough to not understand why. Stop believing into miracles. Russia is a shit hole not much better to Nigeria. (Sorry Nigeria, I’m sure you’re much better than that, I just have no good example to compare to.)

It’s much worse than I anticipated! Thanks for explaining! I hope to see as little laptops with the key as possible.

Ok, thanks. It really sounds like a simple solution to the problem. I think even if it does drain battery for some reason (e.g. a repository with a huge number of files), this could be automated, like the on/off switch to run the app to sync and be done with it.

On iPhone, I use sushi train, and it does automated sync via Shortcuts (a built-in app for light automations), via timers or other events like charging. It works perfectly fine for my use case. It syncs my notes multiple times a night, plus during the day while on charge or when I join trusted WiFi networks. I expect the same can be achieved on an Android. So, really, the CLI version might do the job plenty good, I believe.

Is it? I mean, if I have Linux installed, you know.

[–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How does it handle the battery life? Is it run all the time or do you just start it to sync when you need it?

[–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I understand, I’d see if I can get one for cheap, I’m not hurrying. I’d love to learn whether it’s good as a tablet, would be pretty great to have a tablet running Linux!
