  • Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.

    recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

    Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong? I use it nearly everyday without any data corruption. Is my personal experience not valide?

    The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).

    Agree that we disagree !



  • Nextcloud and syncthing a 2 different things. While synching keeps your files synchronized between your devices, nextcloud is a cloud platforme which gives you access to your files on your server. The difference is actually very important even though a lot would argue that they are the same.

    It really depends what type of technology you want/need. I would recommended syncthing for it’s simplicity and robustness. It only does one thing but it does it very well !!

    To give you an example, I have a syncthing sever which is a middleman for my Zotero database. Laptop <-> Server (syncthing) <-> desktop. It’s very important to keep it in sync for the integrity of the zotero database !

    This kind of workflow wouldn’t work with nextcloud or rather will most of the time corrupt my database.

    Nextcloud works as a simple cloud platforme wich is also great (with it’s up and downs) but works only as a cloud platforme to keep your files on your server.



  • Thank you very much for your throughout and explanatory response !!! <3 I also read all the comments and I know what I will be doing !

    While I did like the well build defaults, I didn’t liked how they added their logo on boot up, even if it has nothing to do with logoFAIL exploit, It felt wrong (or does every distro does that?). Also the fact they added their own bookmarks in my freshly installed Firefox left me a bit skeptical… :/

    There’s probably nothing to be alarmed off but That doesn’t feel right… If they do that, what else could they add hidden in the distro normal people can’t see ?

    If I may ask, do you have any good distro you would recommend? Something as bare bone as possible, as good as debian but a bit more up to date. I do not fear some tinkering with a new distro but Arch is a bit to much of a hassle right now… That’s why I chose Manjaro.

    My second pick was EndeavourOS as daily drive, but the community is small compared to manjaro and it’s relatively new in the game. Any thoughts?

    Thank you !!




  • N0x0n@lemmy.mltoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldShould I use a rolling distro?

    One downside of debian testing is you don’t get security patches when the package is freezed under testing.

    Rather use sid, but comes with it’s own share of troubles !

    Edit: I’m currently on Manjaro, wich is somehow a “semi-rolling” release based on arch. It takes a few weeks before it hits the stable branch. But while I love it as daily drive, don’t know if I would recommend it as server.

    Servers need to be stable, that’s why I use debian stable on my server.

    Maybe give fedora server a try? Which is more uptodate than debian and maybe more stable as a server OS than a rolling release !




  • Thank you very much !

    in which case your best bet is a VPN.

    That’s what I suspected :/ So protonVPN outside EU will probably be my best bet… I Hope my download speed will not suffer to much…

    With chat control in the UK, there was an exception that applied to SimpleX.

    How comes? That’s rather strange that only simpleX was an exception compared to other messengers? Do you know why, how?

    Since servers can be self-hosted, you would likely see unofficial instances pop up that are in unaffected countries […]

    Somehow a gray zone? But a dangerous one… If they get caugh by regulation, what can they expect to get for a sentence by not complying to EU laws?

    Thank you very much !!

    Edit: Thanks for the blogpost, very inyeresting ! I really love SimpleX’s stands and tone.

    Same here 👋 still i’m a bit sad I had to move on from VLC… It was always one of the first software I would install on my setup… But that was mostly on windows.

    On linux/macos, MVP seems to work way better. I’m very thankfull for all these years of service, but everything has an end and like ICQ ended recently, VLC will probably die off in a few years…

    Except if they make a come back? Who knows !
