Yeah its read only, but I don’t have to edit the calendars I’m subscribed to, so it works for me.

But it would be mildly annoying if I had to edit stuff in those. I’m not sure how that would work in the first place. In my case Microsoft would have to have some sort of API, even if its just CALDav, so Nextcloud could submit the changes you make. Does Microsoft even allow for something like that?

I’ve gotten the calendar to subscribe to external calendars. One work related Microsoft calendar, and one for holidays.

This makes me so happy :)

I was trying to figure out what pronouns you prefer(didtn look at the sub) and only then figured out who was posting.

I immediately remembered your post from a while ago, and its just nice to see that things are better now.

Maybe its because I use the variant (of Keepass2Android) with “offline” tacked onto the end?

I don’t exactly remember why I chose that one though…

Its a running system now, all the syncthing stuff isn’t exposed to the internet, so I don’t really mind the stuff going on with syncthing-fork atm…

edit: Its a running system, I won’t touch it unless I need to…

Idk rember exactly, on desktop Nextcloud adds a folder structure to the OSs filesystem.

On android it doesn’t do that, instead you either open a file from within Nextcloud, which confuses Keepass, and Nextcloud if you change anything. Or at least the sync database feature doesn’t work, or smth like that.

If I wasn’t careful with adding new entries I’d get a lot of conflicts that weren’t a single click to resolve.

Syncthing on Android does exactly what the nextcloud- client does on desktop. So the file is just sitting in a folder, and any changes can be ingested into wherever I have and old version of a database open, by using the synchronize with file option.

Mostly Nextcloud, for my Keepass databases that doesn’t work though. Because the android client handles files completely different than the desktop versions.

So for that I use syncthing with my home server being a hub, that everything syncs to locally, if I need updates to propagate while I’m not home I VPN in. However I rarely need to do that.

You can still get the right results though, especially if you know what you are doing.

Its definitely not ethical though. I guess op meant getting working, safe results by “responsibly”.

Not necessarily fairly sourced results, but rsync is open source, so its code probably also was used this train said LLMs…

They usually have a minimum size, and I was trying to avoid sawing at all.

Most of the hardware/home-improvement stores near me offer to cut the wood they sell to size.

I probably would’ve gone that route, and then print the tracks for the trays. And screw those into the wood.

Looks like the right thing…

I’ve been using blockinger from F-Droid, not sure how compatible that is though…

Wasn’t sure either, looked it up quickly…

In this context it’s probably referring to Deep Packet Inspection, some technique to determine traffic type, and then blocking specific (Wireguard and/or OVPN) traffic.

Do you have any idea what your hardware is actually pulling from the outlet? Maybe it’s not that bad after all?

Mine is pulling around 55W from the wall in its “normal” state. Meaning two 3.5" HDDs spun up, and a bunch of light services running. Which is squarely in “not great, not terrible” territory.

Apart from flipping the power saver switch on the mainboard I haven’t done anything to save power. I haven’t checked if that’s doing anything either. It’s a 3rd gen core i5 iirc, which isn’t great at idle power consumption, so maybe that switch is doing something…

I also haven’t had any luck with getting the drives to spin down reliably anyways, and afaik it’s better for them to just stay spinning so I haven’t bothered much to change that.

Lots of thoughts on this, but text is a really difficult medium to convey them, for me at least.

I think I’ve been/am in a similar situation, and honestly, it’s not easy. Idk even know what to write my thoughts are a mess too.

Usually this stuff takes time, and I often had to relearn things, both of these things are very frustrating… Communication is key though, and super hard, especially when emotions get involved.

It helps to keep in mind that emotions aren’t rational and we don’t choose them, so don’t blame anyone. And needing distance is a very reasonable thing. I don’t think it discounts your love, but it can be very hard to give space when you miss someone terribly.

What I also had to relearn a lot is:

I can’t solely be responsible for someone else’s wellbeing.

I can help ofc, but I won’t be able to if I disregard my own needs while trying to do so.

That’s my unorganized 2 cents :D

edit: also best of luck for both of you.

That would only work if I’m the only one using my hosted stuff, but can’t really expect non tech ppl to deal with stuff like that.

They already struggle with the little 2fa they have to use. Introducing yet another system is too much to ask.

Still feels like I’m doing too little, but kinda hate 2fa.

And I kinda don’t want to know if complex passwords and low retries before an account gets locked out are enough.

Only if you care about security, which you should ofc.

They must’ve really done a number on you, huh?

I once did a whole bunch of research looking into turning my old gaming laptop into a Nas/Homeserver.

And buying the supporting hardware to get more than the three SATA ports it had (mcpie adapter and SATA card and a power supply) would have been more jank and expensive than buying a used desktop in a big case and using that instead.

I’d say it does make sense, the only thing I lost is power efficiency, but I’m trying to not think too hard about that :D

With the right software most consumer hardware can be a decent server, although not having ECC ram kinda sucks. Usually most motherboards have enough SATA ports for a few drives and if not, just add a PCIE card that does.

even unzipped folders

That sounds super interesting, does it keep the folder structure intact? Because having to zip a folder to be able to download a folder with its structure intact is super annoying.

Edit: Oh it’s just for uploading, still very cool though.
