What sort of backups are you after? For a system-wide backup, I don't bother. I have the git config for the system in a remote repo. Rebuilding the system is a matter of bootstrapping and then just pointing nix at the config. For my data that is outside the scope of nix, i just have a rclone cron that syncs to/from a remote store.

Given the flake for freshrss doesn't have any sort of explicit "backup" option, my hunch is the author is doing something similar. Point the data dir to a location that gets automatically sync'd elsewhere.

why not reply and engage with them then rather than posting a vague dismissal?

Agreed and depends on the writing. It's a very helpful tool though to be able to flag and highlight that sort of thing

I've seen this in action as well. The biggest value by far is seeing the overused phrases and tics in your writing style. The prompt I like is to tell it to highlight and flag passive voice and run ons since those are my major pain points. I can also tell when its getting out of "real" advice since it'll offer the same "trim 10-15%". Also important to tell it to highlight specifics otherwise it'll give vague editorial advice that isn't anchored. Another fun exercise is to submit other authors writing as well. Say a short story from a magazine. Some of the edits are legit, but do it enough times and you'll start to see the same generic writing advice gets applies to just about any input.

another iteresting thing models can do is to highlight and notice themes and motifs in a piece. I find that helpful when thinking about a piece of work. Might be obvious ones, sometimes it can be subtle themes. Good for stirring your own brain.

What makes it so great? I can't remember listening to AM radio in decades. Surely it would make more sense to install an aftermarket AM if you listen to it rather than force everyone else to buy one too?

Python is a perfectly fine choice for a tech stack. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it an anti-pattern. NodeJs + TypeScript have tons of warts of their own that you have to deal with as well. Every language does.

I don't see the connection of the brogrammer's to the idea of being your own brand and embracing the weird. To me, the brogrammer's were the result of the huge influx of money into the tech ecosystem. It was the arrival of those just chasing a paycheck and stock options rather than those who enjoyed programming for its own sake.

My company has only a small office in San Francisco. There are 10 of us.

Separation of powers between the different branches of government.

Is there a term then that encompasses all the branches?

The courts are part of the government no?

I get that but I feel like its a bit different for linux users. The ecosystem has way more folks that are used to building their own tools relative to Win/Mac. Especially for something like nix. I've built nixpkgs for tools I've wanted to try & use. For something like this, I'd stick with cargo and let others do the packaging.

ha, the "/s" got formatted on to a different line.
