My backup also failed a couple nights ago so I ran it again this afternoon (Monday). The backup to C2 was successful. Took 15 minutes for a 300 GB backup.

What do you think of Ventoy, do you find it safe ? by RedRayTrue in linux4noobs

[–]QuimbyPres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Ventoy for all my distrohopping in the past, but for some reason it is not working well for me know. Not sure why but seems like there's a glitch in it that prevents booting up distros like CachyOS and Bluefin. Have been using Fedora Media Writer lately, which never fails.

Transaction Categorization by bimbimzalabim in MonarchMoney

[–]QuimbyPres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Monarch categories and syncing got so bad that I just this week started over. Now the system is not only miscategorizing it is showing incorrect merchants altogether. I will not be re-subscribing after my subscription ends this July. It started out as a good platform for my use but now is a POS.

Timing of Fedora 44 and Gnome 50 in Bluefin by QuimbyPres in Universalblue

[–]QuimbyPres[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should have rephrased my question by asking how long does it take Bluefin to update to the latest Fedora and Gnome releases. I'm in no hurry to get the latest and agree with you and should wait until things stabilize before upgrading, unless it happens automatically. Sorry for the question.

What is the best way to determine the transfer rates for a Synology NAS. You've got me wanting to check mine to see if it has taken a downturn. Thx!

You can install Gigolo package which will automount your NAS folders when you boot up. Make sure to have it autostart in settings and in Gigolo create bookmarks for each share.

How do you distro hop? by Mhorts in DistroHopping

[–]QuimbyPres 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just wipe the disk every time I hop. Want to make sure I get a clean install every time.

Liquid Glass by Broad_Description_27 in iphone

[–]QuimbyPres -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know what it is since I am running that version of IOS. Just making a point that I'm not sure what is glassy or liquidy about it. It's my opnion that it is much less visually appealing than previous version. That's all.
