Guy Fawkes wanted an absolute monarch beholden to the Catholic Pope. Just because someone wants to tear down a bad system, doesn't mean that they actually want a better one...

There's a river Foss that runs through York. Brings a new meaning to sending patches upstream...

Yeah, I'm leaning toward this option tbh.

If we got to the point where popular machines had custom images with all the necessary extra drivers etc, it might be a value add. But for now I'm not seeing a huge benefit

Yeah, thinking I might have to do something similar to start the services after login. Unfortunately they need to run as root, so it'll be tricky to avoid having a second password prompt every time I login

Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:

  • It's actually either service being enabled that prevents login
  • It's a gnome-shell issue. Logging into a tty is fine, and shows that it's gnome-shell crashing when trying to log-in normally

Maybe it's time to go back to debian...

Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?

Be aware there are basically two different things called Owncloud. There's still the original php version, which is similar to nextcloud but worse (not open source, smaller plugin ecosystem I think)

On the other hand is owncloud "infinite scale" (or ocis). This is the thing entirely written in go. But as others have pointed out, it's little more than a file server at this point.

IMO the self-hosting community is really missing a self-contained "all the DAVs" server (files, calendar, contacts). Baikal etc seem like a great start, but it would be great to have somewhere to get those parts pre-assembled. Until then, nextcloud works for me.

Its called "modern standby" or something, and is the main option for suspending windows laptops I believe

For me at least, my objection with YouTube is that Google takes a cut. I'd much rather contribute an equivalent amount to some creators via patreon and adblock the site.

Also I'm not saying the host doesn't deserve a cut, I just think that corporations like Google are a general pest that should be eradicated

Sounds minor, but I'm excited for right aligned mode-line segments. I've been working on a minimal powerline-esque theme and this will make it soo much cleaner.
