My setup: rsync to Synology NAS, snapshotting there, sync to remote Synology NAS over VPN. (The other NAS is at my parent's and they have similar setup syncing to me)

The best part: it is just files, not some proprietary archive. I have high confidence in this. I can restore with the most rudimentary tools.

This setup has worked for me well on linux, windows and now mac. I migrated to new computer&os by restoring the backup mostly.


This has MorningLightMountain vibes.


Power lines and pylons are superficially the same all over the world, but differ in details we subconsiously remember. The power lines in DayZ felt like home.


There are also Rivers - when spaces between words on multiple lines align vertically. Harder to control for than widows and orphans.


In my experience, GDPR works wonders here. After saying I do not wish my personal information to be processed and revoke any consents a few times I do not receive these calls anymore.


Where is ‘here’? France?


It works for those who want to be sorta legal. Usually I ask to talk to their GDPR officer first thing. Call ends.

But not everyone wants to be sorta legal.


It seems application state is mainly maintained in the widgets. Reminds me of Delphi. Is there a similar concept for representing state in a well-suited data structures, that can be created and composed visually like the UI widgets?


Decker heavily emphasizes the concept of "reified data", representing information as tangible entities within a deck.

You can create "contraptions" as specialized data containers/editors for specific applications:

For example, "WigglyKit" offers several contraptions which operate on a shared convention for representing animated images:

You can also represent composite data as a series of cards in a deck, or use cards as encapsulated "objects" that you communicate with via events:

In a pinch, you can also easily encode arbitrary data in fields as a JSON superset with their ".data" attribute.


Feels more like jerry-rigged SmallTalk to me. Maybe more like Rebol?
