@ohyran for sure, and Pablo is *fantastic* (in my humble opinion). Also check out https://arcenmusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-home-that-we-once-knew for his partner's amazing vocals - it's almost wasted as the theme tune for a video game :)

This is totally the best music for coding to...

TFW you apply your final Machine Learning model to the test data - and actually get a decent accuracy...

Honestly, doing ML feels like playing an action RPG on hardcore. You have a data-set you can use once-and-once-only, and if the model fails abysmally, that's hours of work wasted, back to the drawing board... not this time though 🎉 🍺

@jk @fitheach If it's of use, I have a #saltstack formula here for setting up Burp Backup...

http://burp.grke.org/faq.html

@jk @fitheach fingers crossed!

I do "off site" backups, but only to another machine in the house. Good for disk failure, bad for anything more serious...

Really need to get around to looking at something like Wasabi storage for infrequent backup sets.

@jk @fitheach ooh, careful then. Last thing ou want to do is add load and cause a cascade failure (been there :/)

Good luck!

@jk @fitheach that's... not a bad argument actually. I've resisted going downstairs to the garage on numerous occaisons...

My usual approach is to add extra disks, configure, migrate the data, and then delete the old ones. Only works if you have the space, of course.

@jk @fitheach OK, I gotta know - why are you downloading 900Gb over a lan, and not using some kind of remote access (NFS, SSHFS, etc)?

Loving the new jet-black theme in #tusky 3! Such a great client, you folks are legends ;)

@cobra2 @ben0_o that's a good list, let me see if I can add to it...

Dropbox: Nextcloud - it's got a native Android client which will sync files

Todo: I use Taskwarrior but I'll freely admit it's a nightmare to set up. Great if you like GTD though. Texfile synced in Nextcloud works too.

Voice/video chat: I use Signal for most people, which can do both & e2ee text too. Trialling Matrix as an alternative with my partner (working well so far)

Big +1 for OSMand!

@zyx I've seen that before, but thanks for reminding me of it's existence, I needed that ;)

@ben0_o you'll want to check out @fdroidorg then, only FOSS there (and nice warnings for anti-features too!)

@fitheach I assume recorded, at least, but I have no specifics yet...

Today I am learning that developing your data analysis question is by far the hardest part of analysis....

For example, I am tasked in this case with defining the "most active meetup" from a set. But is that based on physical events? Virtual members of the group? Comments/discussions within the message boards?

Time to ask my domain expert what he *actually* wants to measure...

@ben0_o congrats, more people dropping GApps is good for the ecosystem. What (if anything) are you using to replace it?

(I use Nextcloud + DavDroid for my contact/calendar/files/rss sync, for example)
