What dongle do you recommend?

That looks like Thunder! You should check out the latest version; it has an improved Block Management page.

Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?

That’s partly Lemmy’s fault for using a custom spoiler syntax. But yeah it sounds like Eternity doesn’t support it yet.

That said, there was an issue in their repo just recently closed, so it sounds like support is coming!

Like I commented above, I wonder if other spoiler tags work in Sync or if there’s something about the way this bot posts that breaks it.

What client do you use? It looks fine in Thunder. (I agree it’s spammy in general, but not because of the formatting.)

No worries! Thanks for mentioning it, I might check it out!

Syncthing Syncthing Syncthing works flawlessly /plugover :)

Do you know how this compares to Ditto?

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

7-zip

If you’re on Win 11, use NanaZip. It’s a fork with better integration with Windows 11’s crappy conext menu.

Caffeine

If you have PowerToys this is built in now.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it’s still better than TeamViewer.

What? This just isn’t true? I RDP into work all time and it picks up my user session with all open apps from the last time I was physically at the machine. Then next time I’m at the machine, it picks up the session from last time I remoted in. In other words, as long as you always use the same account, it’s always the same session.

Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system

You are right this, but this is actually a benefit in my opinion. The last thing I want is for someone to turn on my monitor and see everything I’m doing. I like that it’s a private session of sorts.

Also RDP is better at adapting resolutions (I want my session to use my local monitors’ resolution, not the remote one) and forwarding system key shortcuts than any other remote solution I’ve used.

By the way, you can use spoiler tags on Lemmy!

Two monitors is the absolute minimum, but I think three can be very useful.

On one, I have reference materials, on one I have code, and on one I have the application I’m developing. I think it makes for a pretty good workflow.

Thanks, that’s a nice and concise summary!

Where does MagicEarth get its traffic data from? Also is it FOSS? I couldn’t find much about it.

Thanks for this clarification! That is slightly more palatable.

I should say I’m more interested in a good multi-device sync than long-term backup, so that sounds good for Proton.

Why’s that?
