I knew that restic is in the fedora repo.
sorry for the mess !
supporting your ran !
================
I was just replying directly to you using the "Reply link" under your comment,
so I thought I'm doing it right.
Your rant regarding this point is wrongly addressed to me !
The rant isn't addressed to you. Sorry of that wasn't clear. As a rule,
something marked as <rant></rant> is a general comment inserted as an
aside because it happens to be relevant to this particular post.
Cause I often got the impression that HK does some *magic* sorting.
My comments often appear incoherent somewhere in the thread without any timely flow.
even if I do a full quote and clear the hole quoted text it seems HK looses track.
you/we can see it right now in this comment: in HK it appears that I'm replying to my
self: see the first line !
I don't look at HK unless I need to consult the archives, and never use
it to post if I can avoid it. This mailing list is (as the name
implies) a *mailing list*. That's how most people interact with it. HK
is (IMHO) a misguided attempt to merge two modes of communication with
different traditions and expectations. I was much less annoyed by the
old archive format, which was easier to search and had the advantage of
*not* letting you post directly. However that's getting OT.
Often I need to click "Show replies in by date" at the top
of the thread to sort it *halfway*.
That all bugs me too !!!
and -btw- a edit function would be a win too !
P.S.
I'm thinking about using a mail client.
I guess the advantage will be a starting line in my comments of: "who wrote what
when" !
I would encourage you do that. Any half-decent MUA will do. I use
Evolution, others people use Thunderbird, Claws, Mutt etc. It doesn't
greatly matter.
