TIL (ok, weeks ago... but whatever) that iCloud documents can easily be backed up with simple rsync:

rsync -ahP --delete --exclude '*.DS_Store' ~/Documents/ /Volumes/LaCie/tsykoduk/backup_Documents

That will examine each iCloud document with out downloading them. If it needs to sync it over, iCloud will download it, and then remove the download.

If you are like me, and have a lot in your iCloud docs folder, this is a great way to back it up, for what ever reason that you want to.

Never thought about it framed as a threat before.

Has it changed? Yep. But its soul is the same.

Do I know anyone here? Not really. But we seem to have a common emotional context.

Perhaps it’s the energy from the redwoods. Perhaps it’s the positive ions from the ocean. I’m not sure.

But the feels are real.

So, I’ve been in my home town for the weekend. I’ve not spent any time here since 92/93 and really only drove thru once in 2019.

I’m starting to feel that place is important. Or is it people. Not sure.

But the last two days gave me such a feeling of belonging and acceptance that I really have not felt since I left here in 1985.

Honest opinion:

Everything should just be text files at the bottom of the stack. Needing to grab some strange converter to deal with bizarre formats is silly.

Been working on some Traveller adventure writing set in the wilds around some “extralegal” ports.

And I’ve been really thinking…

What is the difference between a bunch of heavily armed outlaws building a base, and “trading” with their neighbors and a (polity? Empire?) other then scale and treaties?

Apropos of nothing, but in my friend groups over the years, and most of my online experience I met more people who played SFB then Traveller.

Like, I’ve introduced Traveller to gaming groups many times over the years.

I felt lonely in my love of the game and setting.

Now I’ve found a niche here where I’m surrounded by Traveller peeps. And it’s freaking amazing.

I don’t feel like a lone voice in the desert anymore.

Dim the lights, and prepare for jump…

I’m getting really grumpy about bad UX. I don’t know why, but things like max password length or not allowing certain characters or having me reenter info over and over again feel like they are becoming more and more normalized.

It sucks, and it feels like it’s spreading.

@coffeegeek - got a coffee question for you.

We travel a bit and some times we like the convenience of instant coffee. My partner likes Via from Starbucks, but I cannot drink them. So I tend to go without those days.

I was wondering if there was a roaster out there that made some actual high quality, good tasting instant coffee?

(I know I know - instant coffee is an affront to the gods)

I may have scored a Shibboleth (xkcd.com/806/) in my years long war against my Comcast internet falling over all of the time. I chatted with support, and went full on networking geek.

The agent said “oh I see a few things need updating" and flashed the firmware on my modem.

The white line is when we got off the chat.

Still fingers crossed and knock on wood etc etc etc. No idea what they really did, but I'll take the short term win!
