I use Syncthing. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows. There is no "master", but it is P2P so any machine can disappear and it does not matter. It can "relay" when both machines are behind firewalls. When I install a new machine I just pick what folders from syncthing I want (Music, Work, Pictures...), it pulls them, and then it is effectively another backup node. With a machine off-line I am protected against deleting my own data too.

I am far away from USA, so I really have no good first hand information.

I can see what most of the media say (here and in USA). That is the same media as where I live don't tell the truth about criminality, nuclear power, wind power, refugees, climate change, Islam, the economic history of my country and other things. And despite the publicly funded media is supposed to be "independent" it is anything but "impartial".

So WHY would I trust them when they write about Trump?
What I know is that they have spent 4 years writing almost entirely negative things about Trump (and rarely given credit for good things).

I don't know much about Proud Boys, but something does not make sense.

Is it really a white supremacy organisation when it has a black cuban-decendent chairman?

Or is it just that any organisation supporting Trump will be labeled as such?

roll20.net, of course.

When talking about emissions from vessels it is important to know that new rules are implemented globally from 2020.

Until now the standard fuel for large vessels has been High Sulphur Fuel Oil with 3.5% sulphur.
From 2020 such fuel is essentially banned globally and the new limit is 0.5% sulfphur.

Vessels with installed emission cleaning system (scrubber) can still use the old fuel.

OpenWRT / LEDE does not use systemd.
But maybe it does not count as a distro.
Although I think it should, because it is quite useful for some purposes.

Exactly this!

UX and UI can add a ton of value to something that most people think is too complicated to learn. The latest example is Slack that is just IRC done easier, with some small nice bells and whistles. Not every company has the skill or patience to keep an IRC-server, but slap a good UI on it and it suddenly becomes business critical.

It can be like that, certainly. But there are Chromebooks with more storage. They typically have 4-core, 4GB RAM, USB ports, SD-card slot. It is obviously low end but it is far from useless on its own.

More and more Chromebooks run Android apps.
In dev-mode you can run most everything (using croution, for example).
I hear linux-apps-in-a-sandbox (kind of) is in the making.

I used to make that argument too (against the Mac Pro Mini): most people would get it instead of the MacMini and MacPro.

But neither the MacMini nor the MacPro has been upgraded in 4 years. They are essentially abandoned. Perhaps the margins are descent, but even for Apple, volume must matter too.

If Apple cared about the sales of MaxMini and MacPro they would keep those products relevant.

My gaming PC cost me $1000 years ago and it works just fine.
Steam has plenty of games for macOS.
But there is simply no reasonable Mac to buy.

We have a MacBook Pro from 2012. It is upgraded to 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hybrid/fusion drive. Total money spent is not much more than $1500. Can't get anything (Apple) close to 16GB/1TB for $1500 in 2018.

I completely agree. I can use affordable Apple computers for most of my uses today (except playing occational games). But it is getting seriously hard to find anything I want.

The MacBook Air 13 I think is the most attractive offer they have.

A would love a MacMini (or similar) that was powerful enough for some gaming. The current MacMini is worse than the one it replaced 4 years ago. And I would want a laptop where i can replace the hard drive, and that comes with MagSafe thank you very much.

The car industry release annual models of their cars.

It is often no major changes, but it is a revised version, a few changes, perhaps a new pricetag.

If nothing else it keeps the enthusiasts... enthusiastic.

And... memory and storage is rather cheap in 2018. Apple, however, charge a lot for quite little. Just a little RAM/storage bump would suffice for a new model.

Apple are just terrible 2018.

How about Apple producing a new Mac Mini. Or a Mac Pro. Or any reasonable computer for those who already have a display?

I would imagine it could save a few 1-3% silicon and reduce design complexity a bit more than that.
If not so, then obviously you are right.

Yes, well, obviously a being able to start an 64-bit mode is kind of a prerequisite for even thinking about dropping older modes.
