Update: @Dropbox is unable to create desktop sync software that works for more than 300k local files, but turns out I can do it with 400 lines of Python. 🙄
Baffled how they implemented the sync such that it consumes over 3GB of memory and crashes, AND are unable to fix it.
I keep hitting the limits of @Dropbox and I'm starting to wonder how one person (me) can tilt it over when Dropbox has enterprise customers that presumably have larger requirements?

Crazy that ‘The Orville’ is more Trek than Discovery or Picard. I stopped watching Discovery early in season 1, and may do the same with Picard, although it’s getting slightly better.
1950s programming: computer has memory that literally rotates and you have to use a slide rule to calculate how long each instruction will take, so that you can efficiently align the execution with the rotation of memory.
