Oh wow, even if you put it in landscape? In either case, lemmy's web interface hides a lot of context by default when answering via the "messages" notifcation. So in a sense, with that one could reply endlessly. Then again, that's not part of our experiment I'd say.

Right, that's how it all started.

I just unfolded everthing. Seems we are on the 8th rainbow. Almost looks like on my phone, while in potrait mode, 10 rainbows will likely have it filled up.

Alright, second season, here we go!

Ha, for sure I missed the other comment...

Yeah, that browser zoom. And I too used / use Firefox. I'm not saying these kind of sites are common, but nevertheless I've encountered them occasionally. Back then, the most pragmatic workaround was to use desktop zooming of Xfce.

My intention on the previous comment was simply to give some examples of desktop zooming that go beyond the typical accessibility viewpoint (e.g. vision impairment).

That's why regular backups are advisable.

Not the same as "on demand zooming", which let's one stick with a high, native resolution, but zoom in when required (e.g. websites with small text that can't be zoomed via browser's font size increase; e.g. referencing some UI stuff during UI design, without having to take a screenshot and pasting + zooming it in e.g. GIMP).

You didn't mention how big those volumes are and how frequently the data changes.

Assuming it's not that much data:

  • use tar to archive each volume first, while using proper options to preserve permissions and whatever else is important for your usecase
  • use restic to backup those archives
  • use a proper pruning strategy to not let your backups get too big:
    • I'm not that familiar with restic, but maybe you can backup those archives separately and apply a more aggressive pruning strategy just for them
    • simply might be needed, cause deduplication (AFAIK) might not be that great with backing up archives
    • but maybe if the volume data and the resulting archive doesn't change that often, deduplication would be sufficient even with a not so aggressive pruning strategy

Honestly, if all you've ever experienced in regards to terminals is windows CMD, then you really haven't seen much. I mean that possitively. Actually, it will give you a far worse impression on what using a Linux / Unix terminal can be like (speaking as someone who spent what feel's like years in terminals, of which the least amount in windows CMD).

I suggest to simply play around with a Linux terminal (e.g. install VirtualBox,.then use it to install e.g. Ubuntu, then follow some simple random "Linux terminal beginner tutorial" you can find online).

One takeaway from this surely is that such deeply nested endeavours sure are easily missed.

I do wonder if there's a hard limit at some point regarding "nested replies"...

Nice, bit over half way point here.
