    Following on the heels of ssh(1) yesterday, today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is rsync(1).It's one of the key elements in my podcast listening (more on that to come later this month), where my podcatcher pulls down podcasts into a backlog tree structure, and I rsync the whole thing to my phone for listening. It also undergirds my blog deployment, building in Nikola (still gotta find some time to switch that to my custom Makefile driven build process) and then rsync'ing the output/ tree up to my web-server.And last night our teen wanted our family photo website content's pictures for a school project, so I was able to rsync the latest copy of them to a backup USB drive that he could browse offline.It's reliable and does a particular job (keeping two directory trees in sync) very well. Yes, ZFS send/receive is more efficient if both sides support it and they're whole datasets, but that's not always the case.Also, since I use bash as my shell, the "^" substitution makes it easy to issue something like$ rsync -n -avr $SRC $DESTand if it looks good, use$ ^-nto remove the dry-run flag and run it for real.

    Going a bit off the beaten path for #FreeSoftwareAdvent, today I get to appreciate HaikuOS¹. While it has some issues (mostly keyboard-mapping) that prevent me from using it as the main OS on my writerdeck netbook, it is AMAZING in how well it uses resources. That little underpowered Atom processor with its 2G of RAM just flies. It boots in a fraction of the time of anything else (other than DOS) that I've installed on the hardware. The GUI and all the applications are delightfully snappy.So please join me in sending a little praise toward the @haiku project for all the wonderful work they do!⸻¹ https://www.haiku-os.org/

    Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is all about XMPP.Snikket (https://snikket.org/) is an easy-to-install, and easy-to-administer, XMPP server. It is designed for families and other small groups. The apps for Android and iOS (based on Conversations, I think) are great.Dino (https://dino.im/) is my desktop XMPP client of choice.Profanity (https://profanity-im.github.io/) is a terminal / console XMPP client, which is incredibly convenient.Why not have a fun festive project of setting up an XMPP-based chat server for you and your family and friends?#XMPP #FOSS #SelfHosting
