This sounds great, but I would like them to see them fix bugs first, like this 6yr old one, with over 160 comments: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/9130 Every new feature, esp a complex one like this, creates a potentially huge amount of new bugs. Love ZFS, but would never run it without backups. Haven’t had data lose, but needed to restore from backups to get around constant panics.
I have created something "almost the same" but different.
I call it zquickinit - it's basically a bash script that generates initramfs - but adds in things like ZFSBootMenu, a proxmox installer, etc. I patched ZFSBootMenu so that I can securely boot/unlock the ZFS root boot, which holds the unlock key for the 2nd stage ZFS data pool.
I did this so that my ZFS install can have 0 keys in it. I use tailscale or ssh to access it in pre-boot mode, enter my key, and continue-on with boot.
Sounds very similar to how SyncThing. I would if the SymcThing discovery and NAT traversal could be combined with wireguard and the ease of tailscale, but distributed mesh and no headscale. And all the other things that tinc does.
Could you scrape/pre-parse every article and comment on your own server, and then create your own better REST api for your app? One that doesn’t need as much parsing. Maybe you can even charge $ for access (for other apps)
Do what my psychologist told me: read “Your Brain's Not Broken: Strategies for Navigating Your Emotions and Life with ADHD” by Tamara Rosier, PHd. This book will help you confirm (or not) that you have ADHD. This book was SO life changing and eye opening. I wish I had known this 20yrs ago. (I’m 42)
Actually, I just had another idea. It may be just me, but I already have an Alexa echo, and Smart Home controlled lights and fan in the bathroom. All you really need is an WIFI-enabled motion sensor - and then, an easy way for it to start playing music on my alexa - bonus if it would automatically turn on the lights and fan when I enter, and turn fan of 15 minutes after I leave. Maybe even just an integration with IFTTT or Home Assistant.
This is really cool! But, I think the clock needs to be bigger and brighter, and maybe graphical. Or be a VFD -- OR -- what would be really cool, is combine it with a pico projector, and shine the clock/UI onto a wall. Good luck!
I found this comparison between borg and restic, and it seems like most of these apply. (https://stickleback.dk/borg-or-restic/) seems like blogbackup and restic are very similar. Wish there were more docs though.
