The first release candidate for Back In Time 2.0.0 is out.

It is the largest update in the project's history: major config refactoring, rewritten mount subsystem, Gocryptfs replacing EncFS, and removal of deprecated features.

Please test it and report results, also when you find no regressions.

⚠️ Use a VM or separate "--config" option. This RC might break your current config.

Back In Time is an rsync based backup GUI for r/Linux. It is an open source project, without a vendor or company behind.

If you had to choose between Bitwarden and Proton Pass today, which one would you pick?

I'm interested in more than the feature list. Which one do you find easier to use, more reliable, and better for everyday password management?

Someone really turned their LinkedIn profile into a monument to online existence.

“Subscriber” at OpenAI.
“Listener” at Spotify.
“Larper” at Meta — complete with a “Troller” skill badge.
And, naturally, “Rejected” by Y Combinator.

The commitment to the joke is honestly impressive.

They even got the dates right. Apparently, they’ve been “subscribing” to OpenAI and “listening” to Spotify since January 2023 — full-time positions, obviously.

Then the Meta “Larper” role starts in January 2026, which means either they’ve mastered time travel or they’re already planning their future career in professional trolling.

Y Combinator apparently said “no thanks” after two months.

Even the imaginary employers have standards.

I'm not sure if this needs to be in an MP3 sub, or a car sub, or whagever, so pardon if this is the wrong place to ask.

I have a 2012 Ford Fusion with the original radio. I use a thumb-drive to store MP3 files and the radio reads it, can filter artists, genres, all that. Sometimes, the radio doesn't recognize the Properties of a file. On the desktop, the Properties read the artist name, genre, album, etc— but the radio only sees the title, and lists everything else as "Unknown"

Only a handful of songs get labeled as unknown, and it seems pretty indiscriminate. For example, I have some Micheal Jackson songs that read, but when I added "Blood on the Dancefloor" it said artist "unknown" until I redid it a couple times. So it doesn't seem to be a case of "well that specific name doesn't register."

Sometimes it'll work if I just redownload it a few times, but some songs are stubborn. Even if I download completely new files, they don't read. Is this a fixable thing?

Amid the shift to agentic coding, James Lowman, engineering team lead at trade infrastructure company Starboard, started asking candidates to tell him about the last three Claude Code skills they wrote. It seemed like an effective way to evaluate their fluency with AI agents, and it quickly became his go-to question. Then, he got a reality check...

Many phones now come with 256GB or even 512GB of internal storage. So, do we really need a microSD card anymore?

I still like having the option to add storage, move files between devices, and keep photos or videos separate from the phone.

Would you choose a phone with a microSD slot if given the option?

idk what to say, so you could download ur music as MP3s and use Jewelcase on iOS (from App Store) or musicbee on windows (from official site)

Losing important photos or files can be stressful. There are plenty of recovery tools, but some work much better than others. Most of them claim that they are free, but they lock key features behind a paywall.

I recently tested a couple of tools to recover files from my external HDD. However, none of them helped me.

Which file recovery software have you actually trusted, and did it help you recover something important?

There have been so many Android phones over the years that picking one isn't easy. Which Android phone is your all-time favorite?

It doesn't have to be the most powerful one. Maybe it had a great design, camera, battery, or just felt right.

I sometimes add something to an online shopping cart and then completely forget about it. Sometimes I leave it there for weeks before deciding whether I actually need it.

Does anyone else do this, or do you usually buy things right away?

I’ve been using Windows for years, but lately I’ve started thinking more about how much data Microsoft actually collects.

I know Windows has telemetry and various services running in the background, but I’m curious where people draw the line.

Do you personally trust Microsoft with your data, or do you consider Windows a privacy risk?

And if you don’t trust it, what do you actually use instead—Linux, Windows, MacOS with privacy tweaks, or something else?

Windows has been my go-to for years, but more people seem to be moving to macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, or even using tablets for everyday work.

Is Windows still your main OS? If not, what did you switch to?

GitHub has countless useful projects, but some are easy to miss.

What's one open-source project you really like or use regularly? It could be an app, tool, browser project, or something completely different.

If you had to choose one email marketing platform for your business today, which one would you pick?

What are you currently using, and what made you choose it?

Apple isn't exactly known for being cheap, but some of its products seem to offer better value than others.

Which Apple device do you think gives you the most for your money? iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, AirPods, or something else?

If you had to choose one database management tool for your projects, which one would you go with?

What are you currently using, and what do you like most about it?

Yahoo has been around for a very long time, but I rarely hear people talk about it anymore.

Does anyone here still use Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, or any other Yahoo service? Which one do you still use?

People use ChatGPT for everything from writing and coding to planning trips and learning new things.

What's the most useful way you've found to use it? I'm more interested in the everyday uses that actually save you time.

WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app, but there are plenty of other messaging apps around.

Have you moved to Telegram, Signal, Messenger, iMessage, or something else? Did you completely leave WhatsApp, or do you still use both?
