  • So by migration, you mean just using the same drive in another system? That’s potentially a major data loss moment. You at the very least should back everything up before you try to “migrate” without copying files.

    I don’t use Synology, so I can’t speak to the exact process you need to follow. But I imagine it will require you to format your drive if it’s somehow locked into Synology’s system in order to use it with something else.

    It’s likely similar to reinstalling a different OS. You have to back everything up and format the drive. It likely uses a different file system.









  • Flatpaks can also be used to run CLI programs, but it requires using flatpak run <package.name> instead of using the apps standard CLI command. But you can create an alias and should work mostly the same way.

    For example, I have neovim on my Debian laptop via flatpak. So in order to run it, you have to do

    flatpak run io.neovim.nvim
    

    You can create an alias for that command

    alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'
    

    And then you can use the nvim command as normal


  • Nobody needs a smartwatch. The question really is: “Will a smartwatch benefit me?” I can’t speak to everyone’s use case, but for me it’s been really useful for my cycling. I have an LTE smartwatch, so it’s nice that I can leave my phone in the car or at home and still track my cycling (with GPS and heart rate monitoring). Less bulk for me to carry around, and I’m protecting my significantly more expensive phone from potential falls or crashes.

    This is great for my regular exercise cycling because I don’t really need my phone camera or anything with me while doing my regular routes. Just the ability to make and receive a call if I need to and track my cycling performance. And since the watch can also pair with my Bluetooth headphones, I can download a couple podcast episodes and keep myself entertained. Again, all without my more expensive, bulkier phone.

    Just like any consumer device, not everybody needs it. You find the right devices that make your routines more convenient.
