A synced copy of data doesn't protect against accidental file deletions... that is why RAID isn't a backup, that is why snapRAID isn't a backup, that is why syncthing is not a backup, that is why any kind of synced copy is not a backup. Let me know if you're still struggling with this VERY basic concept... that has had it's own little phrase parroted for decades, "RAID is not a backup."

Lmao, you even admit hoe dumb it is with the system tray. And you're wrong, I can have XFCE exactly hoe I want it in a matter of 15 minutes, using only the settings apps, and it will absolutely dog walk the workflows of GNOME.

You do realize that it actually does a lot more than that right which is what makes it a proper backup system, right? If all it did was sync a copy of data then it wouldn't be a proper backup. As I already pointed out, so let me know if I need to slow it down further for you.

You can't connect it temporarily?

My TV stays on the same input.

Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don't need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.

If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you're not serving a public.... you're dumb.

What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don't even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.

I mean... just don't connect it.

I also think Android has the best apps... SmartTube, Tivimate, and S0undTV can't be beat and have no good alternatives on other platforms. I run 4k firesticks that I blocked from updates long ago so I could have my own launcher/home screen instead of the ad riddled default one, but want to upgrade eventually. Been wondering lately how well AndroidTV on x86 runs... couldn't find anything on YouTube.

A copy of data isn't really a backup, that's also why RAID isn't a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.

Nah, you're getting a leaf, not a full plant. A leaf is fucking worthless. If the leaves had value, they would sell them.

iOS users think the same way born from ignorance. But hey, if you don't mind inefficient workflows and an extreme lack of customization to fix that, then GNOME works.
