My one and only purpose was to warn them that their “drawback” is more of a gator pit. It’s noble that you’re here defending rsync’s honor, but maybe let them know instead? My preferred backup tool has “don’t eat my data” mode on by default.
Sure, but that’s not in their answer.
only drawback is that it doesn’t create differential backups
This is a big drawback because even if you don’t need to keep old versions of files, you could be replicating silent disk corruption to your backup.

It’s not exactly drowning in advocates today, and there’s basically a whole generation that wasn’t around when Google killed off Reader. What if we treated advocacy like this like the good thing it is?
Thanks, Dr. Dystopia.
Fun fact: this feature used to be built-in to Firefox itself.
We have the worst fucking client.

Ctrl+F: “thread” “conversation” zero results
I feel like people have forgotten how email worked before, when webmail providers were emulating the desktop client model of “received messages go in Inbox, Sent folder is for sent.” Gmail’s conversation view was shockingly intuitive, one of those “why hasn’t it always been this way?” things that feels so obvious in retrospect.
It’s worth noting that a number of other providers now sell S3-compatible storage services that are completely separate from Amazon, but let you interact with them using any of the S3 tools that have sprung up.
Great, Needs One More Extension
