Dropbox telemetry can't be disabled
maestral is an open source Mac/Linux client. Just one example, I’m sure there are others.

New Dropbox client moves files from –/ to –/Library
Worth mention the open source project Maestral: https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral
(an unofficial Dropbox client)

If you're archiving stuff to a cloud-synced folder, you NEED a strategy for ensuring ongoing integrity.
Sometime late last fall, my NAS rebooted and my ZFS pools didn't come back online automatically, but Docker did automatically restart the Maestral client. In so doing, it detected an empty folder...and...promptly deleted EVERYTHING in my Dropbox, assuming I'd just deleted everything locally. It's an issue that has had at least a few bug reports and which as of yet still hasn't been addressed - basically, the client needs but does not have a way to say "a bunch of stuff is changing, are you sure?" before doing it - especially on a restart of the client.

Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu
>- Debug apps which don't opt into debugging, using gdb/lldb, without disabling SIP. It's my computer, I should be root, I should be able to introspect how processes execute on it. Not being able to do so prevented me from debugging https://github.com/samschott/maestral/issues/597, since I had to disable SIP, which required rebooting, which stopped the bug from happening.
Another option is to re-sign the application with the entitlements necessary for debugging.

Dropbox Client or 3rd party client for Mac Mini M1?
there is a native build as beta, but I found Maestral much better :) https://github.com/samschott/maestral

Dropbox Sync does not natively support Apple Silicon
3) No support for extended file attributes (so you cannot sync .app bundles)

Nine Raspberry Pis power this entire office
If you still haven't found a use for them: they make for good low-power, always-on, headless networked servers for processing-light tasks.
Other commentators mentioned pihole/DNS, WireGuard, and music streaming, but you can also use them for a (slow) NFS server, persistent Syncthing node, Maestral host[1] (third-party Dropbox client written in Python (that can actually run on the Raspberry Pi, unlike the official Dropbox client)), or device that maintains a connection to a distributed network (e.g. Hyporborea/cjdns).

First new ThinkPad in awhile: An x270 I nabbed for cheap & installed my first Linux on :)
I'd been reading up on Linux for the last little bit, learning about different distros and what things to look out for - so when this thing arrived I jumped onto the latest Fedora release & am really enjoying it. I've tweaked some Gnome extensions, gotten my favorite writing app downloaded, set up the awesome Maestral open-source Dropbox client, and set up a decent little undervolt using intel-undervolt, mprime, cinebench, and glmark2 :)

Recommendation for macOS app that will increase the experience on macOS ?
Media Key Forward still works for me reliably but Bearded Spice is also an alternative.
-
Is there a replacement for Mac Media Key Forwarder or BeardedSpice to properly control Apple Music audio from the Keyboard Media Keys?
There needs to be a way to hard-lock F8 to only operate Apple Music. High Sierra Media Key Enabler, later Mac Media Key Forwarder, used to do this. The GitHub suggest using Bearded Spice. I had been using that last year but it seems it's no longer working and the last update was in 2017.
