I'd really love Godot to become more user friendly. I especially like the scene/level editor of Unity. Hope the influx of new users and money will make that software even better.
You can choose which to keep in the web interface. That's a feature preventing data loss. You can choose to just delete all of these files but that would mean Syncthing might use the wrong data.
Why not use the better product? Resilio was one of the inspirations IIRC. Syncthing became really good a while ago, I never had data loss with it after they 1.0d it.
Hope he gets well soon to be able to continue eating stuff from his feet. Or maybe that's what caused it? We should definitely study his lifestyle to maybe figure out a pattern.
Jokes aside, he's a very important figure for computing as a whole, but also a very interesting and quirky personality. Wish him the best.
Most of my friends are kind of interesting and unique. I don't really hang out with people who are NPCs or boring. What would I have to talk about with them?
A more thought provoking question for me would be which boring people I know. Some stereotypical 'beer, BBQ and cars' guys come to mind. I couldn't live my life only doing work and those boring-ass hobbies. They're not even real cooks or car mechanics, they just like to grill cheap meat drenched in marinade and own an expensive car and talk about it!
Why not stick them in a git repo?
Because the benefit gets lost if there are lots of autogenerated config files. Someone else said 'stick only the files you write yourself in the repo' and I guess that's a better idea than to stick all of them in a repo.
That's the way. Thank you.
Why versioning and not backups? I get the part of commit messages, but that's hardly worth the effort for me. If I have a config file which works, I usually keep it that way. And if it stops working, my old documentation is outdated anyway.
I sync them with Syncthing and can also access backups of the old files. I can also merge them with merge tools and create tagged versions with git. Most of the time I don't and I can't think of any instance where I used git to compare an old version with a newer config file. I get why we should version code, but config files for most desktop programs are hardly worth tracking because of the frequent intransparent changes.
Although I will be using Xfce for it’s lightweight.
In many cases KDE Plasma is actually more optimised. Try both and compare the difference.
