I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.

I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.

I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*

Upvote: helpful information, handy tips that are those little nuggets of gold you mine comments sections hoping to find, actually witty comments instead of oft-repeated Reddit style puns, people who actually put some effort in to their post. Basically: stuff I’d want to see if I stumbled on this thread from a Google search in the future.

Downvote: comments complaining about downvotes, any reference to “tankie” or any other perceived and dismissive stereotype, users who complain about being picked on especially by mods (and usually back it up with some tinfoil fanfic about how they’ve been tracked by Them), Reddit-isms that were overused there and never worth using here, people who don’t source their “fact” especially when accompanied by a comment like “it’s easy to find this fact”. If it’s that easy, you do it.

The downside of doing this is that the shares always show out of sync in the UI.

For someone who likes everything showing green, those purple warnings hurt my soul

I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.

Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.

I deliberately avoided IT as a career because I didn’t want my hobby to be ruined by making it work.

Unfortunately now I’m so buggered after working my normal job that I lack the energy (and time) to code much anyway. And I earn less, probably.

Think I might have played myself.

In Australia, they are also called guide dogs, for the same reason. And for the same other reason too.

Exactly the same, in fact, since our Guide Dogs was started by a bloke from the OG English crew back in the 50s. Not sure what blind people did before that, just kinda wandered around and hit things with sticks I guess.

… Can I have some?

Why did I start rambling? Oh yeah cuz it’s Reddit.

🤔

I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.

Couldn’t organise a root in a brothel

I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn’t quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.

This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).

Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.

Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here’s some negatives:

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like “8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down”.

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it’s guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and “engagement”. It’s like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it’s fast as blazes too.
