Thank you, please don’t swing your shovel at my head, friend. No, I truly won’t appreciate that sound.

@GregPalm2 @HansMahncke You've actually described the use-case for the Duo - get rid of your iPad.

@HostOfMeta @davepl1968 Was going to say this too. No effect would be => { return; }

@Diablo When are you going to fix the Ice Shards enchantment?

[Michael A. Vickers @mavickers]

@davepl1968 "Who did you invite?"

"Them."

@edzitron GPU chips as currency.

@alexinsdorf99 I mean, not to pick nits but if you go back 25 years there was Mike Riley.

@FischerKing64 My wife and I are returning to the states from Scotland. I am confident I would have caused several wrecks without GPS.

@HwsEleutheroi The real-life use-case is probably stabilizing the car during a collision/accident.

[Michael A. Vickers @mavickers]

@shlokbuilds Just insurance. There is never enough insurance.

For additional context - I work on projects on multiple machines, flipping back and forth between my Mac and an RDP connection to Win (which is running on a server on the same network). I sync code files via GitHub, but documents and other artifacts for the project get sync'd via OneDrive. That is, until this morning.

I was working on something with @claudeai Code. The Claude memories and other project files were kept in a OneDrive folder that the same project on both Mac and Win machines had access to, via their respective OneDrive folder. Write a handoff document on the Mac, count to 5, pick the handoff document up on Win after OneDrive syncs.

Except occasionally OneDrive stops syncing. It says it's working on it, but it never happens. Restart OneDrive, maybe it fixes it, maybe not.

So let me tell you what Claude Code is good at. I started talking to it about @syncthing, a desktop app you install on your different machines allowing you to sync files between them. In about an hour I had this setup on both my Mac and Win, and also installed on Docker on my server to serve as an intermediary.

No more slow or completely borked syncs with OneDrive. Extremely performant syncs with Syncthing. And these project files are kept out of the cloud.

Thanks Claude, and Syncthing. Also - OneDrive sucks!

In case you haven't heard, OneDrive SUCKS.

Sky came alive this morning.

@shlokbuilds Just the artifacts - I like to keep the stuff in the repo versioned in case I melt something 😬

[Michael A. Vickers @mavickers]

@shlokbuilds Syncthing. It's installed on my Mac and Win workstations as well on Docker. The workstations only sync to Docker, although they could sync directly to each other. Syncthing on Docker is using the host's file system to store the files, where they are picked up by an backup job.

@DougWesney Hahahahah.
