If you’re open to it, I’ve seen maintainers go to “maintenance mode”.

Write it high in the readme so people see it, and write what it means: basically that you’re not accepting PRs, you’re not developing new features, but you will do bug fixes and basic maintenance (dependency updates, etc).

In my experience it’s not quite the same. Using webdav through the distro account seems that it’s fully online. And folder access or file access contacts the server.

The virtual file experience is more of a hybrid. All the folders actually exist on disk, as well as shells for every file. If you try to open a virtual file, in the background Windows will seamlessly download it for you. At that point the file is actually on your disk. This way regularly accessed files on on your hard drive and seldom accessed ones are not, saving local hard drive space while providing an experience almost like if all the files were actually on your drive.

On Windows, Nextcloud seems to tap into some Windows function to provide files on demand. Is there any Linux cloud file service that can do it?

Well the containers are grouped into services. I would easily have 15 services running, some run a separate postgres or redis while others do an internal sqlite so hard to say (I’m not where I can look rn).

If we’re counting containers then between Nextcloud and Home Assistant I’m probably over 20 already lol.

If big tech are the issue, then try this robots.txt (yes on github…): https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt

My issue is with the scrapers pretending to be something they aren’t. Tens of thousands of requests, spread over IPs, mostly from China and Singapore but increasingly from South America.

So far no one has mentioned this, but typically images or other uploads only exist on the original server. When lemm.ee went down, all the content those users uploaded was lost.

The text content of posts and comments is copied across all the linked servers, but the images aren’t. Some instances will proxy images from a short term cache, but it’s far too expensive to store the images permanently.

What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?

Yeah that’s a pretty good argument for it.

Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?

I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.

Multiple people in this topic say they organise in directories for different programming languages, something I have never considered and I find it to be an odd way of organising for some reason I can’t explain.

Where do you put a project with a Javascript frontend and a Python backend?

Ah thanks!

Don’t forget the Breezy live wallpaper, where it shows a wallpaper based on the current weather.

On my wife’s phone it has tabs along the bottom. On mine it has the same options in the hamburger menu at the top left. I have no idea why they are different 😅

I think I tried this when troubleshooting and didn’t notice a difference. Nevermind, I pretty easily taught her how to bring up the menu and switch audio streams so she can solve it herself now.

Thanks, I didn’t manage to find many options in swiftfin, you don’t know if I can enforce it for a user from the server side?

I set up Jellyfin on my mother-in-law’s TV, it’s just push play.

My mum has an Apple TV (the device, not the subscription) and on there she uses swiftfin. The only issue has been sound not working on certain audio tracks on certain movies, but in general it is easy for anyone.

Both are very familiar interfaces for anyone used to playing something from a streaming service.

Ah yip, makes sense, thanks!

Ah haha, I actively avoid using google so don’t log in to an account. If you don’t mind me asking, if corporate surveillance isn’t what you’re avoiding, what’s the main reason you’re using a VPN?

No it’s a paid VPN, and it starts fast but after the first 500GB or so it slows right down.

I do suspect many of the issues are from activity on the VPN rather than specific VPN blocking, but that doesn’t change the issues.

How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.

I have, thanks. The impossible to complete captchas are the worst for me, so many sites that are basically broken.
