N0x0n , to selfhosted in Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

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 !

N0x0n , to selfhosted in Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

Yes I’m aware of that notice :) but it has been rock solid. Because it’s not just a copy. It syncs the folder.

This can happend if you work on both devices with Zotero at the same time (why would you do that anyway??). I already did my tests and with my server as a middelman I never had any corrupted data !

N0x0n , to selfhosted in Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

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.

N0x0n OP , to linux in [Question] Manjaro, out of curiosity question, does the image on boot has any security implication regarding logoFAIL?

Thank you :) EndeavourOS was my second pick !

I picked manjaro because their user base is bigger and Manjaro is older. I will probably switch to EndeavourOS for all the reasons mentionted here and there in the comments. There seems to be a common strange atmosphere arround manjaro.

Also, because that logo thing on boot made me this post, this means I already felt something is odd with Manjaro. Always follow your guts !

Ps: Didn’t though it’s that much of a heated subject. It’s a bit sad, I really liked manjaro’s default and looks amazing.

N0x0n OP , to linux in [Question] Manjaro, out of curiosity question, does the image on boot has any security implication regarding logoFAIL?

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 OP , to linux in [Question] Manjaro, out of curiosity question, does the image on boot has any security implication regarding logoFAIL?

Manjaro damaging it’s image wouldn’t be a new thing.

Could you elaborate? :)

N0x0n , (edited ) to selfhosted in Should 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 !

N0x0n , to linux in Wireguard self hosting - Some tricks I don't see mentioned in too many tutorials

Interesting ! Didn’t knew you could add sysctl commands as Postup/Postdown. !!

Thank you :) !!

N0x0n , to technology in France considers approval of European chat control plan

What does that mean for apps like SimpleX?

Do they have to comply? :/ And if they decide like signal to retire from EU, how will that work?

N0x0n , to linux in Do you have a more complicated shell history scheme than the distro default?

Thanks for your insight ! Even though I didn’t really get everything, but It seems there is a specific use case !

Maybe overtime with more experience I will get there and have a better understanding of what you meant with contextual history.

N0x0n , (edited ) to pcgaming in What's your thoughts on Sony pushing PSN down on PC gamers' throats?

At first I was happy that sony finally ported games to PC, but I never though they would force PSN to the PC gaming community…

I would have paid for every game they would have ported, to encourage crossplatform release.

With PSN in mind, I will probably just pirate their game and call it a day. 🖕

N0x0n , to science_memes in natural wonders

Yeah how comes that every planet is flat and round but only earth is flat and square !

Some strange stuff goin on in our solar system 🤔

N0x0n , (edited ) to selfhosted in Docker Help: Port collisions when using container-networking

I think this has nothing to do with who is listed first/last !

As you can see in this docker-compose, they are on 2 different web-ui ports, avoiding conflicts !

N0x0n , to linux in VLC Player

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 !

N0x0n , to selfhosted in Which link/bookmark manger do you prefer, and why?

That’s a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.

Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).

What’s cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.
