Oh, wow. Your place is desolate... Now I'm kinda curious about what you do for a living to require living in such a barely inhabited place...
Those links I shared are what I know...
Oops, got it; my bad!
I had no idea that existed, thanks. I'm a Windows convert who barely knows my way around Mint as it is and will have to go digging around.
Am I understanding Lemmy's federation correctly when I think that this looks like a duplicate post? I'm still new-ish to Lemmy's functionality: https://programming.dev/post/50571805?scrollToComments=true
Fair...
Oops, I thought you were talking about long-term storage of files in general, like videos and docs or something, not a password database! Never mind.
What's the problem? Unless you got forcibly relocated to a different branch or something midway through your career at a certain workplace, you knew exactly what the distance was from your home when you first applied, no? Alternatively, you could move closer to work, which is literally what I did and cut my commute by ⅔s. I wish my infrastructure had better public transit, too, but all I'm saying is there are usually ways out there to reduce the pain that you can try.
Fair. I've clearly not worked at a place like this before!
Oh, well, I'm talking about not having to password-lock and unlock your stuff constantly. For long-term storage, sure, that's fine; anything else would be way too tedious, though, no? I guess it depends on your use case and if you could locally automate the locking and unlocking or something.
Solid question; there are only third-party apps. A recent discussion in !syncthing@lemmy.ml led me to most recently adopt BasicSync, which is incredibly low-profile and is probably the closest thing we can get to it.
However... if you want to get as pure as possible, you can apparently run Syncthing's Linux version directly in Termux on Android without the need for a dedicated Android app. There are also entire alternatives to Syncthing like syncspirit (which can also be run through Termux and which I'm considering trying as well).
I don't understand how being forced to use one method of travel for daily commute is empowering.
You're... what? You're not forced to work where you work; you can change to a closer workplace. Cars made it possible at all to go as far as you can for work. How do they remove freedom if they increase your options for where you can go?
I wonder if the most objective viewpoint is just that of neutrality; it's not better nor worse but just different. EVs sourcing from nuclear energy are probably objectively better.
