For just files I’d use Syncthing or Resilio (I keep hundreds of gigs synced with ST). Resilio has a feature that’s very useful - Selective Sync. This allows you to setup a sync job that syncs the index of files, but doesn’t sync the actual files until you select a file(s) to sync on the remote device. I use this to access my media files from anywhere (3TB) which I obviously don’t want to try to sync the entire folder to my phone, etc.

But since you effectively are on the same LAN, you can use any file copy tool the respective OS’s support.

Though for WAN connections, I prefer tools with some redundancy/resilience, since those connections can be slow or experience drops, and regular copy tools aren’t designed to contend with that (in Windows the only tool I can think of off hand is Robocopy, but I think Teracopy will at least show you if a file copy fails).

It really depends on your use-case, what you’re trying to solve for.

Including the table.

Ewww

As for the sheetrock in the fireplace, why not at least just put in a gas burner for decoration?

Or, block the chimney, and put in a decorative grate with some logs, maybe add some holly?

And buy more things when you realize you need something that’s in product V but not product A.

But, no Foss dev wants to do anything about it because SMS sucks balls.

So regardless of how many.messages are sent FOSS devs aren’t interested.

Yea, I’d take the approach of having the server monitor a folder, and then just drop files in that folder to be converted.

There are a number of ways to transfer files to that folder, tools like FolderSync (Android), Syncthing or Resilio (every OS) can handle this.

Have you listened to any sports commentators? They all talk about <insert current game on tv> as if it’s the most important, world-changing event ever, and every little detail had some significance.

My god, baseball is a game for (as Brits would say) boffins. Fans of the game could put meth-head ravers to sleep. I’ve worked on more exciting spreadsheets for business planning.

And football has become just as bad, with the incessant pre-game/post-game commentary examining every nuance of a play - “I’m pretty sure if the inner aglet of his left shoe had moved the other way, we’d be talking about a completely different game”.

Bread and circuses, appealing to our base nature. The difference between WWE and “actual” sports on tv is only a matter of degree.

This seems relevant.

Whole grain bread means it has some whole grain in it.

Bread made from nothing but whole grain is a very heavy, tough loaf that most people today wouldn’t like.

Excellent approach, putting that in my book of tools.

I’d also be sure to ask the second person to finish what they were trying to say after person 1 was done.

There are 2 reasons:

1. Never know if they have a different perspective or other ideas. They may also have thought of something while listening.

2. In the help desk world you learn these kinds of people get worse when they get shut down. If you actively engage them (even if you don’t really want to), they’ll feel heard, and maybe be less likely to feel compelled to interrupt. Plus you come across as a Good Guy® at work.

And they stole this from Young Frankenstein, which got it from vaudeville. At least Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, and Richard Pryor knew where they got it from.

Can’t get past the trailers or previews. Awful.

Wholesome?

I don’t see juvenile irresponsibility and adversarialism as “wholesome”. If you wanna say funny, to each his own, but in no way is that show “wholesome”.

Oh, God, such nonsense

Nah, it’s that it’s not as “deep” as it thinks it is.

Like 97% of them

Damn few shows are worth my time these days. Re-tread it’s galore, with simplistic emotional appeal to get you to react and continue to watch. Essentially producers saw what worked for “reality” TV in the 90’s and applied that same juvenile, transparent, boring approach to new shows.

So 2 is now all people over 60?

They did?

Never used it, never even intentionally been on the website.

The same ones you’d use with a wire.

WiFi is just Wireless Fidelity… A play on HiFi. It’s just a wireless equivalent of wired ethernet. You still have an IP address, you still have a router (without a router only one device in your house could connect to the internet, typically your wireless access point is a combination router with a wireless access point in it).

For backup check out SMS Backup/Restore. I have 10+ years of sms backup with it, all readable as text or using Excel.

I’ve never found a good solution to this SMS problem - there’s seems to be nothing out there (probably because FOSS devs think SMS needs to die, and I agree).

I did find my solution last year: JMP.chat - I think they’re considered a virtual cell provider. Port your number to them, then all your SMS/MMS gets piped into XMPP, which you can access with an XMPP client on any device - Gajim on Windows/Linux, Cheogram and Monocles (plus others) on Android, Snikket and others on iOS. My SMS works even if my phone is off. Prices are really good, so good that I use a different SIM in my phone for a data connection, as I no longer need an SMS/voice connection (calls are routed via VOIP in Cheogram/XMPP).

Yea, eff those damn balls, and I had some nice mice back then.

I recently cleaned up several large boxes of cables, parts, etc. Found a track ball, but not a single ball mouse in there.
