Tried many, but FlorisBoard's bugs bug me the least, not that there are many. The one feature I wanted was password manager autofill bar, FlorisBoard worked the best at the time and has been solid since. Material theme is nice too.
Universal Blue in general has been really solid, I remember one time in the last year or two when there's been any need for manual intervention. And that came with a notification after boot, with a link to instructions that were all copy-pastable as-is to the terminal.
My biased opinion is that most people run Nextcloud on an underpowered platform, and/or they install and enable every possible addon. Many also skip some important configurations.
If you run NC on a bit more powerful machine, like a used USFF PC, with a good link to it, the experience is better than e.g. OneDrive.
Another thing is, people say "Nextcloud does too much", but a default installation really doesn't do much more than files. If you add every imaginable app, sure it slows down and gets buggy. Disable everything you don't need, and the experience gets much better. You can disable even the built-in Photos app if you don't need it.
Not saying NC is a speed daemon, but it really is OK. The desktop and mobile clients don't get enough love, that's true.
I'm talking about the "bare metal" installation or the community Apache/FPM container images. AIO seems to be a hot mess, and does just about everything a container shouldn't be doing, but that's just my opinion.
Eikö siitä ole väläytelty, että nettiyhteyksiin pitäisi lisätä kasettiveroa vastaava kustannus? Koska internetissä löytyy tekijänsuojattua materiaalia.
Käytännössä se kai ajaisi saman asian kuin suoraan laitteiden verotus.
Hyvä pointti! Maksuvaihtoehtoja on tarkoitus kyllä lisätä, kun/jos käyttäjämäärä kasvaa, mutta korttimaksunvälittäjät on pikkusummilla aika kalliita. Toistaiseksi perinteinen lasku on kyllä vaikuttanut enemmänkin toivotulta, ei tarvitse miettiä mihin korttitietoja syöttää.
Sen verran korjaan väärinkäsitystä, että ensimmäisessä laskussa on 30pv maksuaikaa, joka on samalla ilmainen kokeilujakso. Seuraavissa sitten normaali 14pv.
Keep at it! The learning curve is not a straight line, just like with any skill. You'll see fast progress, just to be followed by a long plateau of no progress or even feel you're getting worse. And then you notice possibly big improvement again. And again.
Don't worry about following sheets/chords initially. If chords are not in your muscle memory, you're basically doing three complex tasks simultaneously, reading, figuring out chords and fingering chords. I'd try to memorize one or two simple pieces first, to get the chords under your belt. Start simple and stay patient, it'll take time.
Don't forget the rhythm. Play on top of recordings. You can be pretty liberal with the harmonics, but if you keep a steady beat it'll probably still sound good.
There's occasionally something buggy, but the last time I ran Windows there were a lot of bugs too. They're just abstracted away, which Linux DEs don't do at all.
For me, it's about choosing the bugs that bug me less. If Windows is working better for you, just run Windows. Internet points are not worth much.
Flashing the stock Pixel ROM back is just as simple as flashing GrapheneOS, the instructions in GOS website are very good for both.
The only two things I can think of that might be issues are banking apps and Google Pay, if you use that. I use Play services in the main profile and honestly there's not much difference to the stock ROM in terms of user experience. Even Android Auto works nowadays.
Portability is the key for me, because I tend to switch things around a lot. Containers generally isolate the persistent data from the runtime really well.
Docker is not the only, or even the best way IMO to run containers. If I was providing services for customers, I would definetly build most container images daily in some automated way. Well, I do it already for quite a few.
The mess is only a mess if you don't really understand what you're doing, same goes for traditional services.
There was a good blog post about the real cost of storage, but I can't find it now.
The gist was that to store 1TB of data somewhat reliably, you probably need at least:
mirrored main storage 2TB
frequent/local backup space, also at least mirrored disks 2TB + more if using a versioned backup system
remote / cold storage backup space about the same as the frequent backups
Which amounts to something like 6TB of disk for 1TB of actual data. In real life you'd probably use some other level of RAID, at least for larger amounts so it's perhaps not as harsh, and compression can reduce the required backup space too.
I have around 130G of data in Nextcloud, and the off-site borg repo for it is about 180G. Then there's local backups on a mirrored HDD, with the ZFS snapshots that are not yet pruned that's maybe 200G of raw disk space. So 130G becomes 510G in my setup.
Imagine if all the people who prefer systemd would write posts like this as often as the opposition. Just use what you like, there are plenty of distros to choose from.
They could explain things better, you are right. I actually think I remember having almost the exact same confusion a few years back when I started. I still have two keys stored in my pw manager, no idea what the other one is for...
The decryption has gotten much more reliable in the past year or two, I also try out new clients a lot and have had no issues in a long time. Perhaps you could give it a new go, with the info that you use the same key for all sessions.
I have a feeling you are overthinking the Matrix key system.
create account
create password you store somewhere safe
copy the key and store somewhere safe
when signing on a new device, copy-paste the key
Basically it's just another password, just one you probably can't remember.
Most of the client apps support verifying a new session by scanning a QR code or by comparing emoji. The UX of these could be better (I can never find the emoji option on Element, but it's there...). So if you have your phone signed in, just verify the sessions with that. And it's not like most people sign in on new devices all the time.
I've used one called CIFS Documents Provider in the past, worked very well.
It adds SMB/CIFS as a storage provider like Google Drive or Nextcloud to the Android built in file manager.
Available only from Play Store, AFAIK. And I think I was still on Android 14 last I used it.
