  1. Hiya nerds,

    I need a software recommendation. I'm looking for a file comparison tool, sort of like Meld for GNOME but a little more tailored to the experience of reconciling duplicate files on multiple hard drives.

    The requirements
    - #FOSS / #FLOSS
    - Compares Files, tells you if it is on Drive A vs Drive B

    The Nice To Haves
    - Recursive
    - Bitwise comparison (in case the paths or file names aren't exact)
    - Multiple drives? Might be a stretch.
    - MacOSX compatible, but failing that, Linux only is fine too

    The Use Case
    My partner has multiple hard drives that have acted as her ad-hoc digital backup solution for years. But not every drive has everything on it, and she's pretty sure some of it is redundant, sometimes even within the same drive.

    She'd like to slim down her storage needs and KNOW for a fact where and what she has, and how many copies.

  6. CW: Seeking motivation (mh neg)

    Lately we've been struggling to get out of bed and spending lots of time just laying around and then feeling bad for it. However, we've also been struggling to find reasons to get up beyond basic bodily functions.

    We need to break this cycle somehow. What would you suggest for us (as kobolds or as a human IRL) do to get us moving in the morning? What's something worth leaving the bed, getting dressed, and actually moving?

  13. Well with reddit starting to implode I'm going to create a new lemmy instance. I'm aiming for it to be self governed and friendly as (roughly) explained in the document below. I'd love to get a group of people to start this with as opposed to just me. Doesn't matter what you can contribute, if you're interested at all please DM me.
