This probably wasn't a bug. I experienced the same last week but it was because I ran the backup command from a different directory. I've created a note saying:

`restic backup -v -r <location>/<repo_name> <source_dir>`

first `cd` to the parent directory of the `source_dir` to avoid too many nested directories in the repository and conflicts in the mounting point path (so that the file change detection of restic works when mounting the drive to be backed up at another point)

In Germany they sell these LED Panels, though not with the same dimensions used for their curtain installations. But unfortunately it looks like they are discontinuing these products. I just searched for "LED Panel" on their website and all listings say "Letzte Chance! Nur noch kurze Zeit erhältlich." (Last chance! Still available for a short time only).

What I also find very annoying is that the Outlook app even embeds a whole browser (with GUI; is it Edge?). It makes me furious to be forced to use the embedded browser when opening links in emails instead of a preferred, already installed browser. I mean... what advantage has it to use an embedded browser? I lose my cookies/sessions, browser extensions, passwords, and the usability is worse than of my preferred browser.

In my opinion this is even worse when searching for GitHub issues on Google. I prefer searching for issues on Google but since last year there are so many results of websites that show nothing else than crawled GitHub issues. No idea why they are higher ranked than the original GitHub issues. These results don't link to the original issue on GitHub, are often outdated, have bad UX (e.g. the code snippets), and don't allow participating in the discussion.

Is it really common to say "I have a relationship"? I would instinctively say "I am in a relationship". Maybe though it is also because my mother tongue is German and in Germany people say "Ich bin in einer Beziehung".

> Fully agree on Pandas. R's native data frame + tidyverse is world's easier. Pandas' overly complex indexing system is a persistent source of annoyance no matter how much I use that library.

Is it just the syntax/readability that annoys you, or are there actually problems that need like n steps more to do the same with Pandas?

The Docker homepage (https://www.docker.com/) is even worse. It takes minutes in my case when I press on "Essential Cookies only". And this is reproducible. It's like this for more than a year now.
