Two drives is a good thing. Always have a copy at a remote location and swap it out rather than shuttling the one drive back and forth.
rclone is a good solution. I use it myself. I also just found out about syncthing which is great for syncing with your phone to something to the local network.
Will there be a rc.2? Where can we look up details of the Lemmy release schedule?
Thanks for your hard work.
