That’s the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.

Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they’re generally only rated for 500 or so cycles.

XPipe is what I use, supports syncing via git, SSH, sftp, RDP, vnc, etc… And can manage docker containers too. It also has scripts you can define that automatically work on any SSH connection.

Ah, yeah MX might not be the best choice of a distro for ease of use.

Yeah just copy the files to your games folder and run it from there, leave a copy for the torrent client.

Just pick the webserver you want (nginx, caddy, etc…) and check the docs for Debian instructions since that’s what MX Linux is.

Yup, I treat the ‘3’ as 3 copies of data, so the first copy is just my working system, and the other 2 are various backups.

Basically a backup is a point in time snapshot that you can restore from. So you’d run backups daily or multiple times per day and can easily get back deleted or changed files.

Whereas with a sync service if you delete that file or change it, the original is gone and you can’t get it back. Some will have versions and trash cans, which gives you some limited ability to restore.

Well one thing to point out is nextcloud and other sync programs are not backups, they’re sync software.

But syncthing would work fine for keeping changes in sync between systems.

That seems like a rather critical feature to have missing!

Well whatever the equivalent is lol, I didn’t see the last little line on the post.

apt autoremove will do it. Just double check what it’s removing for obvious problems.

Do you need nextcloud? Its resource heavy and slow on the best of days.

So if not you could run syncthing plus a web based file browser, and immich or similar for photos.

Always have backups! Doesnt matter what OS you use, stuff will break eventually.

I prefer bootable full system images to my NAS for easy restores, and online file backups, both running daily.

Just wanted to point out that if your client is configured properly it won’t have any connections while the VPN is down.

You don’t absolutely need port forwarding to seed. As long as the other side has a port open you’ll be able to upload to them.

Yes, set the external library bind mount in the docker compose project to :ro (read only).

For me it’s too much time investment, I don’t want to tinker with my OS. The fact that it’s so common to screw up a system that atomic distros are becoming much more popular is a good example, I want an OS that doesn’t get screwed up in the first place.

Ubuntu has been uncomfortably close for awhile now.

Why does this capture that feeling so well lol

I have my webmail and homeassistant pinned, otherwise it’s whatever I’m actively looking at.
