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 :)

Ask HN: Can I create a mobile and Web App using Python/Python Framework?
For reference, YouTube runs on Python[1,2,3]:
> 1. Python and Django: YouTube’s backend is predominantly written in Python, offering a balance of performance and readability.
> 2. Google Cloud Platform...
> 3. Java and C++: YouTube also utilizes Java and C++ for specific backend services, as they provide better performance for certain tasks.

Modifying GUI elements from a background thread
I have a multi-threaded app using Kivy for the GUI and sometimes need to update the GUI from a background thread. This app is a few years old and I recently updated to Kivy 2.2 and am now getting an exception with the message "Cannot create graphics instruction outside the main Kivy thread" -- which is related to this change in Kivy 2.1: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/pull/7270

Python GUI libraries? <3
I suggest you use kivy which is suitable for the desktop but also has the advantage of being one of few options for creating Python based native(ish) mobile apps (for IoS and Android app stores).

Ask HN: Best framework to build a GUI app in Python for windows and macOS?
I think the best one right now for python is "beeware": https://beeware.org/
You also have Kivy which is prety good: https://kivy.org/
- Ask HN: Current best GUI and render window stack?

Python GUIs
Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex/fancy UIs as well, etc.

Mobile testing visualiser
There are hot reload tools like kivy.tools.kviewer and KivyMD HotReload and I think others... but maybe they used something else, hard to tell
