Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Sorry to hijack your meme thread, but would you mind teaching me the difference between the three and why your preference is what it is?

    Also, kinda bonus question, the use cases I've seen for WebDAV in my daily life is for library and progress synchronization in Legado and Moon+ Reader, does that differ from using RSync etc?

    Just use robocopy /s

    Is syncthing falling out of favor these days?

    Haven't used it myself but a couple comments on hacker news said that it's underrated because it works so well there's no persistent community/ecosystem around it like for other tools

    Only caveat is that it's performance in simple cases isn't as good as rsync

    This is how it's done

    Alternately, btrfs send -p

    I just use the nextcloud client. Does the job and looks fancy while at it. But you obviously need a nextcloud server for that.

    How does rsync work with WebDAV?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

    Nextcloud app

    Git and dokku

    rclone is a nice tool but it has problems syncing files that there is special characters in their names.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    just don't have special characters in filenames, next question /s

    Thank you so much, how could I not have thought of that?
