+1 that question, I've also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn't see the benefit of it until now.
Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)
For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p
App Image or AUR package
If you have to choose between using an App Image, from the developpers official site or an AUR package (or apt e.g), what do you choose?
Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.
The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.
The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.
So it's not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.
Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.
Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Go)
As Nextcloud advanced with progresses making it competitive in fully integrated government and corporate workflows, OpenCloud is getting more and more attention.
The fact, that both are collaborative cloud plattforms, designed to be selfhosted and mainly developed in/around Berlin from FOSS-Community-Surroundings, makes one ask about the differences.
The main difference I see, is the software stack
- Nextcloud, as a fork of ownCloud, kept the PHP code base and is still mainly developing in PHP
- OpenCloud, also a fork of ownCloud, did a complete rewrite in Go
Until know, Nextcloud is far more feature complete (yes I know, people complain, they should fix more bugs instead of bringing new features) than OpenCloud, if we compair it with comercial cometitors like MS Teams.
I like Nextcloud!
I deploy it for various groups, teams, associations, when ever they need something where they want to have fileshar
Yes, sorry for missunderstanding !
Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.
That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.
Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a "wrong" password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. "y" and "z" are "swapped".
Just partly related, and probably no help here - but about the fact, that you can't type in that password (regardless whether you can remember it or not):
you probably use a bluetooth keyboard on that surface? Before boot is finished, bluetooth connection is not possible, so you need some sort of USB/serial keyboard to even type.
Had this issue when full disk encrypting a surface, because without usb (or the original serial) keyboard your stuck in the luks mount process during boot...
Thanks for the write up!! :)
Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from "it's tagged"?
The commit shows that there was a longer with 3.0.0 tag before and now its just 3.0.0
What does that tell us? :D
This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS'ish Apps imstalled?
And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month...
The ansible.builtin.template
Just with the arguments src and dest
I saw that there is a possible argument template_variables which requires a dictionary, but I couldn't find out, how to use it, or whether to use it at all?
Use nested/dynamic variables in template
Hello everyone, I need some help with using variables in jinja templates.
Disclaimer: I am pretty new to ansible, so feel free to tell me that I understood something wrong.
What I'm trying to do
I try to use a variable inside a variable, that gets called from a jinja template
I have my network ranges defined in the global vars
vars/global.yml
networks:
lclsrv:
ipv4: 10.10.10.0/24
ext:
ipv4: 1234.123.123.12/x
Then I createt a role called "iptables", with which I would like to manage all iptables on all hosts. In its defaults, there are (obviously) the default_iptable_rules defined.
Besides them, there are host specific iptables, which are also defined in the defaults, like this e.g:
undefined
host1_rules: - "-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT" - "-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT"
In some of the host specific rules I have to define a network range from the global vars, like:
undefined
host2_rules:
- "-A INPUT -p tcp -s {{ networks['ext']['ipv4'] }} --
Difference between Github, Gitlab, Forgejo ?
Another "Differences in Linux" question :)
I often wonder, what exactly is the difference between this services?
I understand, that:
- github.com is a company, where as gitlab and forgejo are (softwares)?
- They all "manage/wrap/interface with" git?
Questions:
- what software does github.com use?
- whats the difference between them (pros/cons)?
- what about self-hosting? Possibilities/Preferences?
As always, thanks beforehand :)
I postet a screenshots from https://manjaro.org/products website where they have a stock photo of a macbook besides the download button for the desktop .iso
Know theres another macbook stockphoto at gnomes website.
So either there are no other laptops produced that fit the highly enterpr1se entrepreneur busine5s investment1t!1! life style of the regular linux users who visit these websites, or manjaro and gnome are all investing in asahi linux secretly.
I understand that the iphone became a synonym for "mobile phone" especially when it comes to graphics. The unique look of them, especially when they still had their home button, makes it very easy to draw one on a computer e.g.
And macbooks are widely used by professionals of all disciplines, so yes, macbooks are associated with profession.
All fine, but why on a Linux-Distro website, like manjaro ?! Why on Gnome? Apples not really invested in getting open source software running on their systems, so where come the probs from and what for?
I do the exact same thing as OP with KeepassDX at work and works pretty nice so far, since I gave KeepassDX the right acces rights on the nextxloud directory.
What diferences have you figured out so far with Keepass2android in comparison ?
I see lots of sidekicks against Manjaro, it's a thing apparently :D I am using manjaro on a framework 16 for about a year now and it never broke anything, just works wonderful for me, although I dont have any fancy requirements other than a working Linux.
But i would be interested in the critics about the team and their "bad" decisions, as stated in some comments. What were the problems?
Difference between Manjaro and EndeavourOS
Another "difference between" Linux question: What ist the actual difference between them?
How fast/stable are releases, compared to each other and in comparison to upstream Arch?
I think I dont get the difference because in my understanding Arch is a rolling release and with both alternatives you want to stay as close to there releases as possible, but dont break you system frequently, right?
So whats the main differences?
Yes it is.
RichText vs Markdown in Nextcloud
I use Markdown for nearly all of my documentation, be it for work, university or private stuff. I also started using Nextcloud quite often and really love it.
The only thing that bothers me is the Richtext Editor in Nextcloud and the odd Markdown mode, which seems not to work? I have it installed and enabled, but in normal text files, as well as in collectives (both use NC text app) simple markdown syntax does not get rendered.
I cant copy paste from one to another which is frustrating obviously. I re-format everything by hand, in either direction.
I especially like the "Collectives"-App, which makes parallel documentaion with a group very convenient, but I would like to edit the files with a markdown editor an my desktop,e.g. Obsidian or so, which doesnt work, since Nextcloud text wount parse it as markdown.
Does anybody got a solution for this, or am I doimd sth wrong?
Differences between Wayland and X11
I stumbled upon this post regarding an earlier rant about wayland, but now it seems fine, according to the author.
After using Linux for nearly 5 years, using both depending on distros defaults, I have to admit that I never got the core/main/game changing differences between wayland and x11.
To be said, that I also dont do fancy linux things other than basic sysadmin stuff and from time to time repair the mess my curiosity left behind.
Could somebody explain the differences between those two and afterwards maybe also say some words about what this has to do with the difference between window managers and desktop environments?
I am also happy about links to good blog posts or stuff, that target this very questions (as long as the questions make sence of course). Thanks beforehand :)
When did Manjaro release an image for x86 MacBooks ?
What to do, with a TP-Link Archer C7?
I got an Archer C7 and i am wondering what to do with it. It already runs openwrt, but we dont need another router.
Are there any recommendations on using a openwrt as Pi-Hole-like thing for example?
This is unfortunately completely wrong, since you can learn from the homepage of matrix very own client Element, that its supported an trusted by a whole bunch of NATO Armys, including the US of course...
I don't mean by that you shouldnt use matrix, but arguing against signal with matrix is, in so many means, hilarious.
The arguable, but professional cryptographer soatok discribes from a mathematical/cryptographical point of view, what it needs to be a Signal competitor, where matrix (and others) dont catch up (unfortunately)
