My company switched over to it to use with sharepoint for our quality system instead of synology because all files need to be tracked and we were already integrated with Microsoft every other way. That was two months ago.

Since then, multiple people have come forward with problems about syncing documents.

I, myself had multiple times already in this short time where I would make changes to a file, save it, one drive would sync and tell me the changes were pushed, colleagues got the previous version while their one drives told them everything was synced, and then I had to open my version again from the Onedrive folder to see that it was the new version, manually save it again, and then manually pause and resume syncing, then FINALLY it would push the changes.

It isn't common, but when you have hundreds of thousands of files and there is a 0.1% chance that it silently fails syncing some files with absolutely no indication, even in the admin logs, that happens many many times

Yeah, I'm sorry but also the policy of OSM to not update road closures (and also no standard way to do it) until they reach a few months to a half year makes it almost useless for navigation in places with multiple construction projects throughout a year

I can get 20 minutes added to my 30 minute route trying to find a good detour because organic maps just keeps shoving me back to a closed route.

There is construction in different places 6-7 months of the year here. If I can't trust organic maps to get me to my destination, then it is useless as a car navigation tool and I can't switch from map services that update their maps frequently.

Is this the same Bose company that makes the standard Bluetooth ANC wireless headphones that everyone and their mother uses if they aren't using earbuds?

I wonder how financially viable it is nowadays

Very cool! Hole looks small for a v60, but I like pottery videos like this!

I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.

I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.

But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won't work.

It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won't work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)

LocalSend.

No more USBs ever (outside of install media). So so simple, fast, and works on all devices and FOSS.

It is really the best UX of any file sharing app I have experienced (outside of airdrop I guess, but obvious problems there)

Okular is also a favorite of mine.

We finally got a lot of rain after a month of sunny days.

I got an order of 100 ladybug larvae in, but only counted about 30 that hatched and were alive. I put them out in jute bags and coffee filters because my small cherry tree is absolutely infested with aphids this year. It also grew like 50 cherries instead of its normal 3 or so, but they are all very tiny and ripening and a few are blackening.

Maybe next year...

Your cloud example is exactly right and exactly what we want to NOT HAPPEN.

They shoved the cloud so much down our throats so that they can force you into monthly income-sucking unneeded subscriptions. That is it. That is the single reason everyone did it.

The result is now the average user has a much worse experience overall. One literally has to fight with Microsoft products to save things on their own computer. IoT and smart products literally won't function without connections to their "cloud". Phones come without SD card compatibility and with low flash memory to force you into cloud subscriptions. Now every damn piece of software is a way overpriced subscription that almost all originally started as "switching to cloud infrastructure" (fucking adobe creative cloud).

The "cloud" has had so many data breaches and people data have been stolen, siphoned off, lost due to bugs, and sold to earn even more cash on the side.

A huge portion of the general corporatization and bad enshittification of digital services and software in general can be attributed to "the cloud shoving down our throats" that you describe.

AI is looking to do the same thing except castrate peoples' digital skills, critical thinking skills, transcription skills, and writing skills in order to siphon more and more of your income off in the form of AI subscriptions while they double dip and sell everything you ever say to it and triple dip in mining everything you say to it as R&D that you pay to do

Companies need to do the fucking R&D themselves with their revenue of a small country and stop forcing regular people to pay to be their alpha and beta testers and focus groups, and people gobble that boot up so hard because LLMs have a few small areas where they are slightly useful and can save 10 minutes per day and make them not have to critically think, so people will literally sell their data, their already small income, and their soul to save 10 minutes, and in 10 years the digital experience will be even more shitty and degraded than it got after "the cloud."

Your usecase is the exact definition as using LLMs as accessibility and to actually better the user experience for certain people which is not the goal of any AI company or 99% of LLM integrations

TD;DR

Non-consentual cloud shoving has caused newer generations to think that paying corporations every month to save files is normal and that your data is not yours and always corporate property ™®©, along with the decimation of understanding simple file structures. You can actually talk to teachers and professors and they unanimously say that tech literacy has nosedived.

Now with the LLM shoving, they are trying to force the new generation to have to pay subscriptions to think, write, compose, draw, and get information by stripping them of those skills.

Also the Node 804 is worth looking into with an entire separate chamber for HDDs in order to keep them cool without exposing them to GPU and cpu heat, plus it is a lot shorter instead, sometimes easier to fit places (mATX motherboard only)

Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.

The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app...

I wanted to get an fp5, but all I have heard is fuck up after fuck up from fairphone.

Headphone jack removal, selling shit earbuds with "repairability" that they pull from the market (and support) a year after launch, CEO being an asshole publicly, android auto not working well, months long bad bugs, severe update delays, antennas being pretty bad overall, and now literally nonexistent support.

I almost feel like in 5-10 years it will come out that this whole time they literally have just been lying about their sustainability practices and paying factory workers fair wages just to sell for a higher price.

I wish I could get my polar H10 to work with it... For now I have to use the polar app and export manually via the web interface...

Obsidian ticks all of these boxes and syncthing to sync notes is a 5 minute setup.

Plus it stores things in plaintext instead of a database format that vendor locks you in (despite the claim of "no vendor lock in")

Ooooo yay another half-baked AI shoved into everything whatever possible.

Nope, I don't know the difference really. I think my arch distrobox had code oss marketplace extension as a package (to get nrfconnect auto updating) so maybe that's the reason?

I use Code OSS with clangd and the nvim extension (because Microsoft disabled their c/c++ tools) because i want access to the nrfconnect extension pack as a beginner. I don't have to go searching in the documentation and compiling, then recompiling 10 times to self-discover the required devicetree parameters and figure out what drivers are available vs mainline zephyr.

Plus the debug interface works well.

For everything else possible it is vim/neovim, but I haven't been able to find good neovim setup for nrfconnect.

No, ssds have a ton of wear leveling where data is shifted around and not deleted. Deleting data wears out the SSD, so it is held as much as possible with the controller. SSDs are like 10% bigger than advertised just to prolong the life.

Even if you write the whole thing with random data then zeros, it will still have blocks in unaccessible (to normal users) places that contain old data.

Always best to use disk encryption or keep any sensitive data in filesystem encryption like plasma vaults or fscrypt.

Not really self-hosted, but I set up obsidian with syncthing and am going to transfer all of my notes from book stack to it and let bookstack be more organized documentation and obsidian to be a big scattering of notes and tags and such. I tried it with bookstack, but the flow was too much of a barrier for me to use it consistantly

I am going to plug my own project that I will complete in another revision when I can unpack my 3D printer when our 1st floor is completed in the renovation 😅

The steam controller bumper repair. The brittle ABS they used broke 3 times for me (2 I sent back to steam and got a replacement), and I printed this in PETG and got my bumper back since the SC got discontinued and it has held up because petg is much lore flexible: https://www.printables.com/model/133723-steam-controller-bumper-repair

Hmmm, I used littlefs for SD card writing at work with an STM32F0 chip. It was hell working with files when tons of essential functions like appending and seeking simply didn't work in the STM HAL... Plus dealing with opening and closing files and appending files and having to seek in them to find what you want, parsing results, cleaning old files, etc... compared to simple circular buffer and a start and end address of relevant data that can be erased once every day or week depending on use. Even with a daily erase of the NOR chip, they are rated for 100k program/erase cycles which would be over 250 years before degradation starts. I am not dealing with a ton of data nor the flexibility of a full UI/ app storage where I would definitely just use littlefs.
