But that’s more tha- Oh.

Didn’t work for me. I don’t have any pictures of mountains, though.

It’s wild that it’s been at least 15 years since I last saw this movie and I could instantly recognize it as Scary Movie 3.

It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.

Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.

Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.

Yeah, in one of these scenarios, things don’t get done and in the other, people’s freedoms are taken.

Real difficult to decide which extreme I’d take.

And yes, I know the actual implication here is that public services fail and infrastructure isn’t as viable. But I would take free and struggling over oppressed and struggling no matter what.

If the direct reward for obeying the system was health and riches, it’d probably be a genuinely difficult choice, but that’s not the actual choice we’re being offered. They want to take your freedom and your wellbeing.

I constantly would get files stuck in the database that I couldn’t delete. All of the forum posts would talk about going into the database to fix it, but the whole point of NextCloud for me was to completely avoid database management.

I’ve fallen back to using DUFS or copyparty for most things since I really just needed my file store to be browsable via web in some cases.

I probably would still be using NextCloud if they didn’t obfuscate the file system.

Monk strats for the win. My new tactic is running up walls to get an attack from above and gaining free advantage.

The very rough idea is this:

I have a server with multiple services and only one open port (not counting the SSL port) on my router.

Traffic comes into that one port straight to my server. That server has a reverse proxy installed with a directory of subdomains and associated ports.

It internally routes traffic coming in on my open port to the internal services on the server without having to expose them directly to the internet.

The big advantage is that because it all goes through my reverse proxy, I can add SSL certs to just that and now all of my subdomain services get the benefits of the SSL cert on the host.

I’m sure there are other uses for reverse proxies, but this is how they work in my setup.

You made pretty much every point exactly how I was going to make it.

I will mention that even as a pretty experienced sysadmin, learning Docker, reverse proxies, and relevant config files took ages because there are treated as assumed knowledge.

Every YouTube video on Docker is 30 minutes shorter than they should be, and terminology for reverse proxies is really confusing if you’re not already familiar.

It’s great to say you shouldn’t use these if you’re not familiar, but these are also probably the most poorly taught subjects in computing right now from my experience.

Let’s not stand around and argue about who killed who…

Well, I like the way my DM does it. I would say I’m surprised, but the logic behind the rules is way too far beyond my understanding and I regularly am thrown off by the exceptions.

Is a nat 20 not treated as a critical success? At least that’s how my 5e DM handles those.

I have a file server for copy 1, an external drive with incremental backups for copy 2, and copy 3 is a physically unplugged copy in a firesafe lockbox that I update manually. I don’t use any cloud providers to back up anything.

wanted to stay away from thermal paper on health grounds.

What grounds? First I’ve heard of this.

Yeah, but some of that healthcare would make its way to non-white, non-Christian, non-men.

Sometimes the webpage will select a bunch of stuff outside the table as well as a bunch of extra lines and spaces that you have to rearrange.

Not all websites do it, but for the ones that do, this trick can save several minutes of fixing.

That is exactly what I use mine for and it does it pretty much silently.

The number of ways I’ve found to “win” against the modern internet over the years… My favorite is the trick of copying tables. In Firefox, if you hold Alt and drag, you can grab clean table data to copy paste into whatever spreadsheet you need. Take that, overly-complicated webpage!

I’ve have amazing luck with both Beelink and Minisforum computers. They’re relatively cheap and excellent quality.

I personally use the Beelink ME Mini and it’s been able to handle just fine about any server tasks I need it to, not to mention the wildly expandable storage.

Consequences? For Amazon?

lol… lmao even
