GOATED series.
Trigger REALLY cooked with that one. So happy they finally became a little more widely known with Edgerunners.
Watch Inferno Cop if you haven’t.
I enjoyed Vivaldi for a bit.
But the second time I opened it to find my tabs, browsing history, and literally all other user data, gone… Months apart, with thousands of saved bookmarks and hundreds of tabs lost each time.
I never went back. Deleting everything is just completely unacceptable.
I never found anyone else who’d had it happen, but twice was a pattern I didn’t care to repeat.
That’s the one.
I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing
This is what certbot is for. For example, with nginx, you just set up the webserver to be reachable via your domain.
You then install and run certbot, and it will aquire, install and configure, and then set itself up to auto-renew, a certificate. All with just one command.
With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup
Yes you can?
I’ve done it thrice now.
Is this some limitation of the docker AIO stack?
FolderSync pairs nicely if you want some sync features on android.
On a desktop or laptop I’d just mount it as a drive.
If you really want automatic sync with offline availability, the Nextcloud desktop client has been solid for years now.
Indeed.
I’m not saying there aren’t NASes that do this. Unfortunately, there absolutely are.
No sane NAS should work that way.
Unless you have a giant raid array, where you need all the drives running at the same time on the same system, plugging in a single raid 1 member, for example, via usb to sata adapter, should let you access its contents just fine.
Provided you’re on an OS that can read the file system. That can require some extra effort on windows.
But yeah. Beware of the pre-built NASes. The vendor lock-in is real.
It seems your point is to shit on KDE, in contrast to MacOS. But since you don’t actually know the current state of either, you’re just making a fool of yourself.
Good day.
And has been the MacOS way for a while now, too.
What was your point, again?
It is.
That MacOS doesn’t display the scrollbar except while scrolling, does not reduce the height of the total list.

Both have search fields for good reason.
Don’t be difficult.
You really cannot argue that the layout, and hence how people would actually navigate it is not “about the same”. Your words.
To bring up a cosmetic difference is a nitpick. It’s the breeze theme, with a personal color scheme on top, not something explicitly made to look like MacOS. Which it could be.
You really haven’t checked lately, then.

KDE can be set up such that a ex-mac-user barely has to re-learn anything.
The difference is that while gnome looks a lot like MacOS, it isn’t exactly like it in terms of layout. An ex-mac-user will look for certain things in certain places, and won’t always find them. (such as power off/restart being up in the left corner)
Meanwhile, the customizability of the KDE desktop means you can manually put the same things in the same places as on MacOS. You can put a krunner search button in the same spot as the spotlight search button. You can make a panel that behaves like the dock, floating and shrinking to fit the number of icons in it. You can have a top panel with a power menu on the left end, and you can display a global menu to the right of it. Even the krunner keybind is the same, and spotlight people tend to pickup krunner like nothing.
Finally, the KDE settings application seems to be the most similar to the modern MacOS settings application.
The big caveat being that the user will need someone who can instruct them with setting this up, or who can set it up for them.
Gnome is closer out of the box.
But you can make KDE work almost exactly like macOS. The top bar context menu, power menu, bottom dock, left-hand window buttons, etc.
It just involves changing a bunch of settings.
You can also just hook your phone up via usb and enable usb tethering, allowing the PC to use wifi or mobile broadband via the phone.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve Reveals New Hardware Lineup: A Controller, Compact Gaming PC, and VR-Ready Headset
8·17 days agoThose new controllers look like EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping for.
The Index controllers are great, unless your hands are big. Then they’re barely usable imo.
The best fit for me was the OG Oculus Touch controller, and these look like they stole everything about those that worked.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?English
1192·17 days agoA part of it is concern.
System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.
It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.






Preaching to their choir, friend. I started !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.
I stopped thinking of certain series as favorites, but the Dungeon Meshi manga is huge for me.
As such, the Trigger adaptation is pretty close to becoming my best thing ever. Now they just need to land the second half of the adaptation. Which I can’t imagine them not doing.
