I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.

I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.

The downside of doing this is that the shares always show out of sync in the UI.

For someone who likes everything showing green, those purple warnings hurt my soul

Yeah but I might be .05% native american and then I can get a cool eagle tattoo

If its not, then why is it so popular there?

Everyone’s so keen to be 12% Irish so they can claim they enjoy beer because of their proud Irish heritage, or have 0.5% native american so they can claim a tribe and get tattoos that are deeply spiritual (now), or that 8% Italian which explains why they love pizza. For a country that’s so publicly proud - what with the flags and all - everyone’s certainly keen to find any excuse to pretend to be from somewhere else.

I know literally one Australian who’s done it, and they only did it after living in the US for a couple of years.

One of my family members moved to the US and did it. Really pissed me off that they’d do that but I guess it’s the thing to do there?? They’ve since moved back to AU but got to leave a little bit of themselves (and by genetics, me) behind to be sold to the highest bidder <3

Thanks heaps for that.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn

CB radios often had a “PA” switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood

We used to roll those back in the day. A friend gave my very drunk self a lift home one evening and I used it to give commentary to a group of revellers on the side of the road… who threw a beer bottle at us, and then chased the car which luckily didn’t get stopped at the traffic light nearby.

Good times.

Crashplan, currently around 4TB and several million files being backed up without issue.

Recently swapped from bare metal to docker without issue.

“Shorts” and “Games” are like herpes. No matter how many times you try to get rid of them, they just keep appearing.

I do not want short form video, nor do I want to participate in “gaming” that is just poker machines reskinned as a “game” to take your money.

The “not interested” button, it does nothing!

Tesla and unfulfilled promises… Only slightly less an iconic duo than Tesla bad news and stock price going up.

Fair point about AI-generated comments. What’s your take on how this affects online discussions? Are we losing genuine interactions or gaining new insights?

I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn’t quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.

This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).

Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result. If I search “SUP236” it does not.

This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The “Attachments” toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.

I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called “PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf” on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.
If I search “Operate Vehicles” it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word “Operate” and “Vehicles” in any order).

Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.

Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

Don’t really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox’s work and then releases it later.

I want a Google and Apple alternative and I’d rather support it at the top of the chain.

Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.

I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.

What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards… Cause it was probably going to be me again lol

1Password is the only one I found that I can share with the family, syncs changes practically instantly, and actually detects login fields on every platform I use it on (Android, Windows, Linux).

No wonder they don’t sell it anywhere else - wouldn’t meet local safety requirements.

I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob… Their biggest complaint was that it was “overbuilt” lol

Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.
