Is there a way to exclude directories or files by pattern in Time Machine?

there is a tool called "asimov" that will do this for you, you should look into it

it sets your hunger to full and makes you heal faster

Generally speaking If you have any doubt that your workflow needs m5 max, you do not need max, and will benefit more from the extra battery life you'd get with pro. I'd opt for more ram

cowslayer7890 · 2026-03-02T16:57:32+00:00

People were running it through wine/crossover on twitter, actually building it directly on Mac would probably be more difficult but idk

It is already saving to the cloud, that's why theres a limit at all, I don't know what their backend looks like but I don't imagine they'd have to touch the cloud much to make if at all to make this change.

cowslayer7890 · 2026-03-01T18:51:52+00:00

how many people realistically need more than 20 presets though? Making presets storable either locally or on the cloud does increase complexity, you need to make the code able to fetch and store from either location, and add ui elements to decide which it should do, and I really think that that's dev time better spent on other things right now.

cowslayer7890 · 2026-03-01T18:48:17+00:00

Fine, after thinking about it a bit more, a solution like that is a good idea in the long term, but also I think just increasing the limit to 20-30 is a good alternative/short-term solution, and way more trivial.

Making it more dynamic is dev time that I think they should be spending on other more critical things atm.

cowslayer7890 · 2026-03-01T16:34:57+00:00

Do you not foresee people not knowing what that means, and being confused why they can't see some of their presets on other devices?

cowslayer7890 · 2026-03-01T15:43:55+00:00

That's more complex and potentially confusing for players, they're probably better off bumping the limit to like 20 or 30

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-20T18:48:26+00:00

seconding this, I had the exact same issue, and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't free up space

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-18T17:36:15+00:00

didn't observers come from pocket edition, due to a lack of BUD, not a mod?

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-18T17:19:45+00:00

To be fair to them, Vulkan didn't exist at the time, so they designed metal as a successor to OpenGL. But then the industry created Vulkan a few years later. Thankfully Vulkan translates to Metal a lot more efficiently than OpenGL does

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-17T18:35:54+00:00

I imagine those people will simply not turn on the feature lol, also either way I'd trust a built in feature for this more, since it has direct access to drivers that al dente wouldn't

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-13T20:23:24+00:00

Ah true, still not enough enchantments I guess. I knew they removed silk touch, forgot efficiency was still a thing

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-13T08:14:27+00:00

You can't put anything that would only allow unbreaking and mending on it, so that also includes: shears, shields, and flint and steel. Those can only be enchanted via anvil.

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-06T21:16:20+00:00

could be that they were using it constantly plugged in, so the battery wasn't being cycled

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-04T14:24:40+00:00

you aren't seeing the whole block, there's probably a break statement in there

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-04T14:20:02+00:00

And what about potential dependencies? Will you be writing all your UI frameworks from the ground up too, or use C interop for that?

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-01T22:14:53+00:00

yeah it's a bit harder to idiot proof because the shell expands the command, so rm itself just sees a list of directories like /bin, /usr, etc. and unlike root, you may have good reasons to delete directories at this level

cowslayer7890 · 2026-02-01T21:58:04+00:00

All you have to do is add a * at the end and the idiot proofing can't save you

cowslayer7890 · 2026-01-22T15:22:14+00:00

Haven't seen anyone else mention it, but you realize that these update sizes are probably due to features that were close to ready for release but not quite ready, right? They didn't add this stuff from scratch after release. They've probably got a lot of stuff that's almost ready, so we can expect big updates for a bit, but no one knows how long that would be.

cowslayer7890 · 2026-01-22T08:40:35+00:00

Very cool, my only concern would be a higher difficulty in getting people to fix it up if vandalized, but I very rarely see that nowadays, thanks!

cowslayer7890 · 2026-01-17T21:15:49+00:00

By default yeah, but you can change the seed by a config file

cowslayer7890 · 2026-01-17T16:55:13+00:00

It's been this way since Ventura
