It’s not FOSS but take a look at Photosync:

See my other comment, nG-firewall does exactly this and more.

In my case because I have my PC connected to the TV and Steam starting automatically in big screen mode. But according to the devs I’m doing it wrong and should get used to it because it’s the better experience when I can go and grab my keyboard to start typing the name of the program I want to start.

That you need an extension to disable the overview at startup still boggles my mind and the arrogance of the developers in the thread that started it didn’t lessen my antipathy for Gnome at all.

Yep, blaming it on A.I. is just an easy way for corporates to shift the blame to something they can’t control. A.I. is just a tool, the people using it and HOW they use it are responsible for the outcome.

If you’re used to Debian based distros, Linux Mint. I personally use OpenSuse if you want to check something different.

As others mentioned, Arr-Stack and then add Overseer to add new movies or series.

They want to do it anyway and just look for excuses to blame others.

Should have stayed with Cortana, at least that was a cool name.

This, had the same idea for other purposes, sharing a folder from vm to host through network share is the easiest way. Every other solution looks more elegant on paper but has lots of pitfalls.

How do you think ads and tracking would be different if Linux gained a bigger share in the Desktop market? Not saying you are wrong, just genuinely curious.

I use duplicacy, it’s free as cli and pretty cheap if you want to manage the backup via gui. Restore by gui is always free and I would recommend it because it’s way easier to navigate the backups if you want to restore single files or folders.

Oh and regarding the large TIF files, what limits are you hitting? Most hosters allow to change the php settings like memory limit or max execution time.

As others said, encrypt your backup before sending it to your server. And can’t you upload the files to a folder outside of a document root or better outside of the www folder so there is no way to access it through the web server service?

So you keep using Windows to be able to install rootkits?

I had one Samsung Bar fail after two years, the second one still works.

At the moment I’m using a Philips Moon Edition USB stick but only since February. Can’t speak for long term usage and didn’t do any benchmark but I’m happy so far and the form factor would meet your criteria.

Finally an article that mentions the affected apps.
