Summer holidays are approaching, and I feel pretty darn ready for them. I do not actually have any big stresses or deadlines hanging over me, it just feels like a lot has been going on for a long time. I think it is correct to say that I need a holiday.
This cold thing I have had as a side project the last few days is not helping either. Taking breaks from trying to fall asleep to instead cough is surprisingly unhelpful. Looking forward to burning straight through a chunk of that backlog very soon.
Maestral mess
Okay, Maestral keeps messing around, and now it feels worse because files disappear, appear empty, then get re-synced. The issue tracker has reports from other people about all the problems I see, so it is nice to know I am not alone and crazy. But when I find blog entries going missing because of the issues I start to worry. I keep both my web site and all my other personal notes in Dropbox, so I care quite a bit that all of those files are in order.
Is it time to … shudder … go back to Dropbox' own client?!
New (re-)discovery also worth investigating: Am I using Dropbox on too many devices? Three seems to be the current limit. I may have known this at some point, but I certainly have pushed it out of my mind if I did. I definitely have my account set up on more devices than that … 🫣😬
Sigh, perhaps it is time to move away from Dropbox entirely … Or get a paid plan?!
I should probably make a project out of diving a bit deeper into this … perhaps during the holidays, after some nice, late mornings …
