IP was invented in the '70s. Sometimes older protocols that work are just fine.

atzanteol , to selfhosted in How do I do a bare-metal install (Debian) without a monitor+keyboard?

I picked up a second hand monitor from a goodwill shop for like $7USD. It would be worth having a display of some sort for troubleshooting.

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

Thanks! Updated.

atzanteol , (edited ) to selfhosted in Nextcloud or Syncthing - which one do you suggest?

Quick pros/cons from what I’ve read (correct me if I’m wrong - I’ve not used syncthing myself):

syncthing

Pros:

  • Easy to setup and use.
  • No infrastructure to maintain
  • Will sync directories between computers

Cons:

  • Uses third party resources to sync by default (can setup direct sync if needed/wanted however)
  • Only does directory synchronization

Nextcloud

Pros:

  • Can synchronize directories
  • Entire synchronization pipeline is under your control
  • Offers a lot more functionality if you want it (WebDAV, Calendars, public shares with “anyone with URL can view” permission, etc.)

Cons:

  • You need to setup/maintain your Nextcloud server
  • Can be fiddly to setup for some (wasn’t for me - but lots of people do complain about it).

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.

Umn. It allows the application to do its own synchronization and diff resolution. It’s why they recommend it.

Directory synchronization is a “best effort” to copy files back and forth without considering the application’s needs. Copying database files while they’re being written can be problematic for example.

Both Nextcloud and syncthing will synchronize a folder. And it will probably work if you aren’t making lots of changes on both systems. But there is increased risk.

Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong?

Yes - absolutely. “I’ve been lucky so far” and recommending against what the product you’re using says you should do is TERRIBLE advice.

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 :).

Why are you getting defensive towards syncthing? It seems fine. It’s the wrong tool for what you’re using it for.

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

What does this mean?

it’s not just a copy. It syncs the folder.

It’s remarkable to me that you recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

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

The zotero docs recommend against synchronizing by just copying a folder as it can lead to corruption.

They recommend using webdav which nextcloud supports but syncthing doesn’t.

So your workflow is definitely possible with nextcloud and is the preferred option.

atzanteol , to linux in Nostalgic Distros?

BeOS or haiku?

I have a dual 603 BeBox I haven’t fired up in a while…

atzanteol , to linux in Nostalgic Distros?

RedHat.

Not Fedora. Not RHEL. Back when it was just RedHat Linux.

atzanteol , to linux in [Question] Using DD to make a backup of an OS drive?

Works fine, though it’s not an “iso” file. But it doesn’t matter what extension you use.

I used to do this to switch an old laptop between Windows and Linux. I’d backup one, overwrite with the other. Swap as necessary.

atzanteol , to linux in what are the pros and cons of apt vs flatpak?

Things installed by apt almost always work as expected and are easily run from the cli.

Flatpaks are sometimes more up to date.

atzanteol , to linux in Why does no distro utilise BitTorrent to distribute packages?

BitTorrent would likely increase latency, not lower it. The bit torrent protocol is very inefficient for small files and large numbers of files (wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent - see “Problems”).

But I think your question is more “why not use p2p to download files” for which I think the answer is likely “because they don’t need to.” It would add complication and overhead to maintain. An FTP/HTTP server is pretty simple to setup / maintain and the tools already exist to maintain them. You can use round-robin DNS to gain some redundancy and a bit of load spread without much effort either.
