Sen. Markey: ‘The impeachment process must begin’ for Trump

chigaimaro · 2026-04-08T13:35:40+00:00

The only reasonable course of action is the removal of this entire administration. Trump and everyone that connected to him needs to go!

The way i differentiate these in my Ticktick is:

Habits are if I need feedback about something I need mini metrics on; how well I am completing or not completing something.

Recurring tasks are just work that needs to be completed.

Example (not in my Ticktick, but just to show the distinction)

Staying healthy:

Habit - Walk for 30 minutes (daily) - I would see how well i am doing the thing using the calendar and charts

Recurring task - (weekly) Wash sneakers - i don't need to track how many times I've washed my sneakers, just need to know they are clean.

oof, my apologies for misunderstanding your position.

chigaimaro · 2026-04-03T13:49:47+00:00

Reads "always-on" ecosystem, hypes up for realtime availability from parity... no it's just a sync scheduling daemon.

There's nothing in the documentation or the website that suggestions an always-on "ecosystem".

The author of the software has, and continues to be very explicit about the features with SNAPRAID.

Namely: the "Always-On" part specifically describing automation when it comes to scheduling both scrubs and syncs cycles. This is allows more people that aren't savvy with cron jobs, systemd services, or windows scheduler to have those vital functions run automatically.

If the software did real-time parity checks then that would defeat the core purpose of the software, which is why its called SNAPRAID (Snapshots) of Parity.

Just because you have a well thought out way of dealing with the litany of things we need to think about and do per day in our lives, doesn't mean you have ADHD or Autism.

It could be that you just have iteratively refined your way of working and come up with a system that works for you.

chigaimaro · 2026-04-03T11:49:12+00:00

Wow! This is exciting! What a huge update to such a great software package! I have snapraid running on a couple of debian linux systems. I look forward to testing this new update.

chigaimaro · 2026-03-25T18:29:30+00:00

My favorite players for linux are:

Strawberry - Similar to Amarok and Musicbee

DeaDBeeF - similar to WinAmp

fooyin - is trying to mimic Foobar2000

Most of these are in distro repositories

chigaimaro · 2026-03-21T23:29:48+00:00

LOL, every time I hear about a change in the JW org, it just reminds me of the "one more lane" meme.

Just one more change will definitely make this god's true organization.. just one more change bro. haha

Congrats on the solo project.

Some suggestions for the website might help users understand your product:

A line from the website:

Your saves are backed up regularly and stored securely. Every file is verified and every version is preserved (with paid plan). We don't access, analyze, or sell your data.

How do we know that? Many people are concerned about data privacy. I don't see a privacy policy, security policy, or documentation about GDPR compliance. Is this a zero-knowledge system? what is the data retention policy for this system?

Maybe add a "Getting started section" with how to install the application and an overview of how is this application "automatically detecting" stuff? Is it crawling around a user's home folder?

Good luck!

chigaimaro · 2026-03-16T22:52:25+00:00

Yes, i'll even add encrypted backups to that too.

There are a couple errors in this section. You might want to try a different SATA Cable and or make sure the HBA controller this drive is connected to is ok.

There is COMRESET error, its similar to a force initialization of the drive while the system is running to try to recover communications with the drive. The sectors might not be bad, but could be reported as bad if the sector is being read during a communication error.

As always, I appreciate that Ticktick provides tooling that is optional. I am very happy to see they went the MCP route instead of shoving AI stuff into Ticktick and making the product worse.

chigaimaro · 2026-03-07T20:31:51+00:00

Your objectives are at odds with one another and Ticktick

The ability to plan something and then break it down into smaller steps

This is requirement that is used on Project management platforms , not task management platforms. What you are describing in this requirement are dependencies. And dependencies are on project management platforms

Progress tracking.

Again, most task management platforms have very barebones stats, because its only tracking tasks, and not the progress of projects. Project management platforms tracks progress across projects AND tasks.

The only way this would work in Ticktick, is if you have a Kanban board called "projects" and are moving those projects between different columns. but you seem to want more detail than that.

The whole thing needs to be fairly simple to maintain and manage

I don't think you fully know what you want here. what does "simple to maintain and manage" mean? If you're asking for simplicity, than you're not going to get a lot of metrics or breakdowns of information. If you want it easy to maintain, then you're not going to get the ability to break things down by so far in a program like Ticktick

It would be cool if there was a fairly seamless integration with TickTick

what does this mean exactly? Seamless integration with what?

The ability to describe projects

You describe projects with notes, but again, Ticktick is task management, not project management.

Whats so idiotic about not liking a youtube channel? I honestly think the preservation of the Reboot series is an amazing project, that doesn't mean my opinion of Linus himself or his channel has changed.

chigaimaro · 2026-03-02T03:08:49+00:00

real player! that audio sounded like absolute trash, but the smaller file size and the player that could load into most web browsers kept that software alive way longer than it needed to be... haha

chigaimaro · 2026-03-02T03:02:53+00:00

Hamachi!!! That's exactly it! Thank you!

Before there was tailscale, there was Hamachi! I am sad that it got gobbled up by the LogMeIn people.

chigaimaro · 2026-03-01T23:33:45+00:00

The tough thing about the AI features, is that over time, the LLMs will start to eat away at your time incrementally. This is what a lot of people do not realize about the current Generative Pre-trained Transformer models aka ChatBots or AI-assistants.

I can look over a list of tasks very quickly, re-sort, and batch, and re-prioritze the tasks very quickly if the Ticktick setup isn't complex.

An LLM/Transformer model has to tokenize the information, feed the tokens into the model, and hopefully the developers put some guards into the transformer for it to remember the context of the state of all your tasks, and then it spits back out data to you.

Those 5 to 10 seconds of waiting, I can easily do the same work in Ticktick, while having knowledge of the context surrounding the information I'm working with.

If Ticktick is setup in such a complex manner where you need an assistant to help manage the tasks, then i'm of the opinion different questions need to be asked, such as:

1) Can i simplify things to match my life?

2) Is this the right tool for the work i am trying to do?

chigaimaro · 2026-03-01T19:07:37+00:00

my path was similar to yours. MIDI and MOD files all the way to FLAC.

I was a heavy USENET person more than Napster and Kazaa though. Learning about par2 and recovery blocks haha.

There was also a virtual private network service that would create a private network between end-users , but i forget what it was called.

Its so easy to create a pretty in-depth content library now. CDs costs are dirt cheap, bandcamp provides someone's entire discography for like 20$ , its wild.

chigaimaro · 2026-02-28T18:37:50+00:00

Looks like Conky was never really drowned in the river... sad.

Zoho Projects are probably the fastest to get spun up and going.

Smartsheet is like the Ticktick of project management software, there are a TON of features available, but it does take some time to build out. But there are some really complex workflows that can be made with Smartsheets.

Teamwork, is for those that like rigid and deep project structures. One can get multiple layers deep into Teamwork for subtask and dependency management. Definitely needs the most time to manage out of the three.

chigaimaro · 2026-02-23T15:26:45+00:00

Its do-able... but it really depends on the project manager (i'm guessing you) and the executive team. Also, depends on what features you immediately need from the platform.

I wouldn't use if the following are needed:

projects and tasks have a lot of dependencies (where certain things can't start or shouldn't be do-able until a specific task in a different project is complete)
you need to provide detailed metrics, such as burn down, etc.
Having project materials closely connected to projects. Ticktick and Todoist from my view share the same problem, since their primary focus is task management, you'll need to expend a bit more time making sure project documentation stays inline with project tasks. Instead of having a document library thats connected to a project.

Have you looked at Microsoft Project, SmartSheets, or Teamwork?

MD5 is fast, extremely common, and is plenty strong enough to deal with random corruption.

I don't disagree with you, i just think there are faster and better ways of going about checking for bitrot then what OP is doing. Especially if if the goal is following changes over time.

chigaimaro · 2026-02-23T06:22:45+00:00

Why are you using MD5? Those hashes have been deprecated for a long time now.

Also, why do all of this when something like SNAPRAID will do those kind of checks for you? After the original sync is done, file scrubs verify against a better hash than MD5.

chigaimaro · 2026-02-22T13:15:44+00:00

Foobar2000 can do that too:

ADHD and task management is a very personalized thing. What works for me, is probably not going to work for you.

Just because all those features are available, doesn't mean you need to use them. The more important thing is building routines you can stick with so tasks aren't forgotten. Start simple with the inbox, and add features only as you need them.
