rsync VS neovim

rsync can be used to synchronize a local disk to the pCloud drive p. Works similarly as the Sync option of the pCloud Drive app. May be useful if one prefers a bulk upload once a day over a continuous synchronization.

Tools that can be used to handle this include Rsync, Duplicati, Cohesity

To overcome this issue, you can use rsync, a powerful command-line tool for synchronizing files and directories, along with a bash script that excludes the node_modules folder and also filter out anything in a .gitignore file that you specify. In this article, I'll guide you through the process of setting up and using this bash script to sync your Node.js project while ignoring the node_modules folder.

On OL9 I installed rsync using https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/master/INSTALL.md and installing dependencies using the For Fedora 33 commands where possible except xxhash which wasn't found, so I used https://oraclelinux.pkgs.org/9/ol9-codeready-builder-aarch64/xxhash-devel-0.8.1-3.el9.aarch64.rpm.html

rsync will probably work better for this use case

I would prefer to use a revision control system, like git if keeping multiple versions of documents is important. Otherwise, if you don't find anything else to your liking, you could write your own scripts based on rsync with the clone-dest, detect-renamed, and detect-renamed-lax patches.

Give rsync a try, it should handle UTF filenames just fine.

While researching this issue I stumbled upon this thread where someone found out that a rsync 3.2.3 / glibc bug (github issue) leads to the error Operation not supported (95).\ my Proxmox instance is also using rsync 3.2.3: root@proxmox:~# rsync -V rsync version 3.2.3 protocol version 31 In this thread I found it's recommended to upgrade to another rsync version, but I'm not really sure how.\ \ Any thoughts on this?

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
