So I'm going to suggest something slightly different - put it on both github and codeberg, then note that its synced from your local repo as a mirror and link it in a readme.

Gives you a few things

  • Readily accessible and fast options for the recruiter to access, even if your power is out / motherboard blows up / whatever.
  • Demonstrates your familiarity with a world beyond github
  • Demonstrates you can stand up your own local repo (if this is a thing they care about - if not don't bother with your own repo for just this)

As for the server itself I'd say forgejo personally.

I did the towels on Saturday, sheets on Sunday, and my clothes last Tuesday!

They are still in the basket. Clean. But in the basket.

Doing what I can!

I'm still behind on responding to a few folks who have made offers to help, in the pipeline but we've had other... fun events (plus personal responsibilities eating up my time) which have gotten in the way of progress here and there.

And for the record, I consider myself maintenance crew!

Its generally pretty easy for me to know what's slowing down my work laptop.

Microsoft Teams is the hogzilla of resource hogs.

Why would you?

The important part is your VMs and LXCs. Your Proxmox server, at most, requires configuration for specific needs (GPU passthrough for example). The only thing you need for that would be notes on configuration (unless you have this automated, in which case you don't generally need that, just the notes in your scripts).

So a more important question, to me, is why do you want to back it up in the first place?

Part of the point of the [AIP] tag is your ability to filter these posts out.

The decision of what you want to do is obviously yours alone, though.

... Just make a git repo.

Then you can sync, too.

@traceapps@lemmy.world Please also include the required disclosures per rule 8, and let me know if you have any questions

What I'm hoping to go with is more something like a clamshell (think MNT Pocket Reform) or slider (like the old motorola droid). The Mecha Comet seems interesting but I'm not sure yet. I also like what WaveShare has going with the PocketTerm, but I want something other than a pi in there (I swore off RPi when they continued business sales and let prices skyrocket for the regular users who made them who they are).

I may also end up trying to put something together with spare parts I have, but we'll see if I have the time for that.

The nonsense steps to even get there. The absolute nonsensical mess of lies in their claims to even do this in the first place. Lets be clear - if they wanted to block malware, they would need to be doing so from the Play store in the first place. So, lets highlight a few simple things:

  • It was only about 6 months ago that it was documented by a cybersec company that hundreds of malicious apps were downloaded quite literally tens of millions of times.
  • The number of malicious apps on the Play store have gone up, not down.
  • Banking malware has more than doubled in the past few years
  • The majority of growth (more than doubling) in the YoY were spyware apps - used for identity theft, extortion, and surveillance, and all on the Play store.
  • There are even ones specifically targeting Android TV boxes, again mostly operating unchecked on the Play store.

To even suggest installing apps (which, lets be honest, that is what they are calling "sideloading" - doing the thing you do on your PC all the time) from a different location is the issue is far from reality. So any "promise" from them is worth functionally nothing to me.

As I said, I'm leaving Android either way. I shouldn't have to go through such a massive number of hoops to install on my own device.

Unfortunately I was replying from my phone and didn't notice. And yes, definitely trying to be patient given its a new rule and not exactly the easiest.

The up side is these are the sort of things that come up that make it easier to identify the holes - particularly the lack of examples. I'll clear that up later today after I'm done with work.

The part that isn't right (and sorry, was replying from my phone earlier so I didn't notice) is the level of AI involvement.

So lets say the only AI assisted part was documentation, and it was fully generated - you'd put:

  • Documentation: Generated

If you also had it suggest testing, but you implemented the tests themselves, that would be Hint, so it would look like this:

  • Testing: Hint
  • Documentation: Generated

I think I should put a few examples in the post to make it clearer
