Oh, I didn’t know that. Neat!

I think I will go with rsync for future transfers, but I would like for it to be browsable through the file browser still. Is there a better way than samba I should consider? I guess it is not an issue just keeping them as samba shares for that purpose?

How would I achieve that? With cron?

I tried to resync now, and had to pass the -c flag to make sure it checked the cheksums to see if they should be updated. Then it worked. Looks like that does not affect the after-transfer checksum check though, so that’s good (from documentation):

Note that rsync always verifies that each transferred file was correctly reconstructed on the receiving side by checking a whole-file checksum that is generated as the file is transferred, but that automatic after-the-transfer verification has nothing to do with this option's before-the-transfer lqDoes this file need to be updated?rq check. 

Thanks! Glad to know rsync includes check after transfer, as I’ve just recently used it to backup everything on these drives to another hard drive that will not always be spinning. But I did not consider using it to transfer new media onto these hard drives.

I’ll try to use it to resync the files that were acting up.

Both machines are WiFi-connected.

I am unsure what logs to look at for this and have not done any filesystem check on the harddrive as I am unfamiliar with these tools. It’s an external Seagate HDD with an ext4 filesystem.

Yes, I should have specified that.

My conversation with any llm tends to go, “you got a, b, c wrong, it should be d, e and f” and it says “sorry, ofcourse it should be d, e and f, my mistake, here it is with d, e, f, g and h”. Then I say “g and h are wrong it should be i and j”. And it keeps going. In the end I write it myself. Huge time wasters.

And yet people at work will take its word when asking about things they don’t know anything about beforehand and have no real way of fact checking without actually doing the research they are trying to avoid.

How so? I have many feeds oeganized under different groups, and that works well for me. What functionality would you have wanted?

Thanks for the clarification :)

Available sources but commercial binaries: ZRythm (currently in beta) Ardour (can be found for free on the repos of most distros)

Isn’t Ardour GPLv2, and not only source available?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by that?

KDE on my main laptop, Cinnamon on the TV-connected mini-PC in my living room. I like the customization options of KDE, and with Cinnamon I just wanted to test out Linux Mint, no big reason other than that. I used GNOME for some time with Pop_OS!, and it was not fully my thing. I plan to test out more DEs when I can free up an older laptop to do some more experimentation - for my main laptop I require stability, so I don’t mess around with it too much.

Interesting! I will look more into this. Thanks for the tip

Former.

I have Proton VPN running on two different machines running Ubuntu-based distros with KDE and Cinnamon, respectively. Works fine :)

Yeah, that’s what I am hoping for. Thanks :)

Ok, great, thanks :)

Ok, perfect! I am not interested in the software :)
