The fact that a “contact” is just a room with me and my peer and renaming my contact changes the room name for both of us tells me the UX is an utter failure. How can this be acceptable?

I am hyped for the improved gyro controller. Gyro aiming is so good that after some time it became way better than my mouse aiming.

> My preferred solution is to let client only write new backups, never delete.

I wish for syncoid to add this feature. I want it to only copy snapshots to the backup server. The server then deletes old snapshots. At the moment it requires delete permissions.

How is ‘persist’ realised with cron? What about ‘randomized delay’?

So if not all and every platform is supported from day 1, then “it isn’t a solution worth spending any time on”?

Yes, today nix does not run everywhere C is used. So what? More platforms can be supported in the future.
