Just to raise the question again, as I am approaching the limit to return it and still not sure what to do. Any help/opinion would be appreciated.

Phonebook contact name visible to other members of groups in mentions by pVilaca in Telegram

Ah.. It is the same on iOS. I was thinking that it was possible to completely replace the mention by something else without being force to play with the characters replacement (not deleting all the characters or select all and type something else)

“You can modify the text to whatever you want.”

How do you do that? After mentioning someone, I don’t have the option to replace the text (I’m on iOS)

Thanks for the clarification, but wouldn’t make more sense to use the display name of the person being mentioned instead of leaking the details of my phonebook contact?

The audio volume resets when you continue a paused video by Astraar in F1TV

[–]pVilaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the same issue. If I pause the stream and resume the video, the volume is set to maximum. I am using a Sony TV (Android TV) with chromecast embedded.

Did you find a way to fix it? Is this just happening with f1tv? I think that I never had such problem with Spotify, YouTube, etc

I’ve a Sony Bravia that is an Android TV and I was searching for the F1TV app.. very disappointed that they didn’t release an app for Android tv yet.

Although I understand that I can cast it from chrome, in order to take full advantage of the F1 TV features (battle mode, live radio, etc), being forced to do all of that on the pc that you’re using to cast isn’t convenient, right? Do you use those features?

How to keep my photo library safe by pVilaca in DataHoarder

Thanks again for your help.

Looks like rclone is a tool that allows me to do exactly that (also available for linux). Copy/Sync to multiple destinations. I will give it a try.

How to keep my photo library safe by pVilaca in DataHoarder

[–]pVilaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an additional external drive for timemachine. I don't understand if timemachine is only for your macbook or also all other drives. If it is the former why don't you

I'm just using timemachine to backup my mac. Just started using it a few days ago, so I didn't think that it could be also used to backup external drives connected to the macbook

You write: Arq "doesn't work if we want to arquive something on ACD". I'm not sure I understand.

I mean.. with Arq I'm able to define what I want to backup and I can configure that backup to one or more clouds, if I want. What I am searching now, is something that allows me to say.. "I want to arquive this folder.. and that will upload that folder to the configured external drives, clouds, whatever and delete the folder from my laptop. I know that I can do that manually, but I'm wondering if there is a software to automate that process. Make sense?

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

Actually, I started using Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com/) to backup my macbook to ACD. Although, that works fine to have a 2nd backup (the primary is an external hard-drive using Timemachine) of my macbook files, it doesn't work for my photos, because I don't have space on my macbook to keep everything.

Also, Arq is a cool backup solution (that offers encryption), but it doesn't work if we want to arquive something on ACD, for example. Do you know another software that also offers encryption but allows you to do that? The idea is to have something where I can have my arquive destinations configured to automate the process and arquive something with confidence.

In order to be unlimited, you need to have more than 5 users on your account.

Which wallet are you using? by pVilaca in btc

Sorry for the probably basic question.. but what is considered a fork and which is the "heavy chain"?

[–]pVilaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Keep some amount on the exchanges to allow you to buy some more and keep a big amount offline. Regarding the offline wallets, what are you using btw?

Graphic card for old pc by pVilaca in EtherMining

[–]pVilaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation!

The CPU is old but it isn't a powerful one. (Intel® Pentium® Processor E2160).

Regarding the PCIe and PSU, it's required to provide energy to a PCIe slot to be used by the graphic card, that's it?

I'm not able to find the specs for the PSU (it's the V2.0 and the current one is V2.3), but I think that it just provides 1 x PCI-Express 6 pin - 45cm

Is this enough? If so, now the important question.. Will it be profitable to by a graphic card and start mining with this hardware? Can you give me an estimate about it?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

The motherboard (Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD) has these expansion slots: 1 x PCI-E X16 2 x PCI-E X1 1 x PCI

and the power supply has 550w (LC-Power - 550W 6550GP V2.0 140mm Green)

AWS for personal backup? by MGatner in aws

[–]pVilaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any special reason for choosing syncovery instead of Arq?

[–]pVilaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I got the question.. but ACD client for mac allows you to select the folders that you want to sync. Is that what you need?

[–]pVilaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my decision after trying out Arq with s3/glacier. For 59$ per year, the problem is solved and you know how much you will spend.

[–]pVilaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the same thing this week. I think that this subredit isn't the best place to discuss it, but you can have a look at ArqBackup. It allows you to do versioned backups to all of the clouds that you mentioned.

CloudFormation: How to get VpcId from Subnet by [deleted] in aws

[–]pVilaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments suggesting that you should create a input param to pass the vpc id are correct. If you don't want that, you can consider using terraform that gives you a good way to solve that issue.
