I use it for production backups. There's a sqlite db in each compressed archive to store metadata about the backup.

It's probably elsewhere but I don't realize it.

The article doesn't mention how well `pass` integrates with `git`. Once you do that, you get revision history, you can push it to a private repo (github, gitlap, etc), and keep your passwords in sync across multiple devices

Agree. I supported a DOS based touchscreen Point of Sale (POS) with technology from decades ago and it was fast AF. You only got 256 colors and the fonts didn't look that great. But it was a speed demon.

I was taught in business school (early 2000s) that it was good that GE fired the lowest 10% performing employees b/c the employees were not actually happy or content at GE or they would perform better. Therefore firing them is good b/c they'll find a better career fit elsewhere.

But I actually think it is terrible. It pits co-workers against each other and makes taking credit for an accomplishment more important than doing what's best for the organization.

I've used TransType to convert PS fonts before with good success. PS fonts are kinda a nightmare, I'm glad that they are going away.

Wish I would've known about this before I spent hours and hours transferring my GMusic library to Plex on a rpi in my house. Oh well, I'm too lazy to change again. Gonna stick with Plex for now.

So true! They are either old and full of entrenched technical debt, or new and lacking functionality.

I like a desktop app for uploading / syncing large files or directories to the cloud.

I'm sure there's a good web implementation out there for the Dropbox-style sync thing, I just haven't seen it yet.

I'm the other way around... I've been using Gimp for so long that I cannot use Photoshop.

Adobe Illustrator is no problem. And I can sort of fumble my way through other Adobe products. But Photoshop is another story.

Would love to see the PowerShell equivalent for these steps so it can be automated / repeated.
