Unraid is not a backup. It is good, but if your data goes wrong for different reasons or you lose the entire device, you can’t restore it. Dedicated backups are a must for anything serious!

Just got into lilypond recently and the output is really high quality. It is clear a lot of care went into its design.

Those are two completely different things. It is like saying “why hammers not apples?” There is no logical answer, they are just two completely different things.

I think children go in dictionaries so you can look them to via name (key).

You are supposed to use the metadata editing if it is not already correct then it well automatically sort them for you. You can edit multiple tracks at once to set the album in one go for example.

Strawberry has all those things.

Same, I thought it was used commonly too.

It isn’t misusing metric, it just simply isn’t metric at all.

Phrod?

Honestly, I think biting the bullet and trying your hand at coding will be worth your time. Visual scripting typically fall into two camps: code but it is visual (in this case it is just slower, more cumbersome and harder to read) or limiting (this may be fine depending on your needs, but you may also outgrow it). A middleground could be coding where the vast majority is done for you. For example in Godot, there are many nodes that are fully built and just need your custom settings. There are even freely available nodes in the asset store if you need more. Then, if you need some behaviour that does not yet exist, you just code that little part, which will be a great learning experience in of itself.

My biggest tip though, regardless of the approach you take, is keep it simple. Your first game should be ridiculously simple. For example, the first game I made was a 2d scroller spaceship shooter where there were only asteroids as “enemies”. I could then add onto that to test my coding skills, and eventually it was fairly fun, even if it had simple roots.

I don’t post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.

Borg has worked well for me. Also supports compression, encryption and deduplication.

I would have taken a deep dive into docker and containerised pretty much everything.
