Relatable.

Except it’s missing:

5b. Try 100 different things, none of which fix it and several of which will create other problems later

I’ve had some trouble with NextCloud as well. For me it just feels sluggish and bloated.

Someone in another thread here said “NextCloud can do everything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well” and that seems to mirror my experience with it for the most part.

Of all the self-hosted containers I’ve set up NextCloud gave me the most trouble

I have both set up right now.

Things I like better about KeePass:

KeePass doesn’t use the cloud, you don’t have to worry about the server getting compromised or going down because there’s nothing public-facing to hack. You always know where your password database is.

KeePass lets you encrypt the database with not only the master password but also using the challenge-response from a YubiKey. That means every time you save your DB the encryption key is rotated and the DB is actually encrypted by two authentication factors.

While both can add custom fields to an entry, I like that KeePass has the option to set fields as protected so their contents are hidden like the passwords.

Things I like better about VaultWarden:

Convenience.

You can log in to your VaultWarden account on any device from the browser. KeePass requires some software to access the DB.

The VaultWarden companion software is just better. It just does autofill better. KeePassXC/DX work well but just not as well as the BitWarden software.

Other thoughts:

Syncing passwords between devices with KeePass requires 3rd party software like SyncThing. If you break/lose/etc your VaultWarden server you could lose all your passwords with it.

Always make/test backups.

Yeah this is probably my biggest.

Device which things can be hosted on a local server and which are best on a vps

I use Kopia

I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder.

But that’s like the main thing the arrs do for you and you are doing it manually.

It’s definitely still actively developed

If anyone wants to see your shit they can install something on your telephone pole that can supercede a VPN anyway.

False.

My WireGuard VPN uses pre-verified encryption keys and all data between the nodes is encrypted with them.

Nothing (whether put there by the cell carrier, public wifi provider, or some gang member who climbed the telephone pole) can decrypt that communication except the devices which already have the keys.

I’m not sure what makes you think VPN security is moot, but you are misinformed.

Using a VPN is always more secure than not using one, particularly if you control the server on the other end.

The only time a VPN wouldn’t help is if your device itself is compromised at which point you have other problems than a VPN anyway

Check out tailscale (or headscale)

It lets you connect those devices without necessarily sending all data through your home network when you are remote. (Though that is an option along with many other great features like ssh authentication)

It also uses WireGuard for the backend which is more secure and efficient than openvpn.

Preorders are available now

…at several vendors, this was just the first one I pulled up.

You’re looking at a month or so wait for delivery at the most if you order now.

Yesterday they still had first batch available so maybe other vendors still do too.

I don’t think the pi5 will suffer the same availability issues the pi4 has

That’s quite an understatement.

It has:

• a new SOC
• a new Southbridge
• 5A USB-PD
• a dedicated fan connector
• a dedicated uart connector
• 2 dual purpose DSI/CSU connectors (you can now use two displays or two cameras instead of one of each)
• A PCIE FPC ribbon connector like the one used for DSI/CSI (you don’t need a hat, just a ribbon) also the pi4 did not have any accessible PCIE lanes, only the cm4 did. Also the pi5 is capable of PCIE Gen3
• More bandwidth for the usb3 connectors
• more bandwidth for Wi-Fi (reports are it gets about double the bandwidth despite using the same Wi-Fi chip)
• Fully SMD board, no through-hole components.

There’s plenty of stuff I would have liked to see that didn’t make it, but there definitely a lot more to it than an RTC and a power button. For $60 this is not a bad SBC at all.

I would have liked to see normal HDMI connectors, 2.5G Ethernet with PoE included, and higher RAM options.

More PCIe lanes would have been nice too but probably unlikely given the price point

Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.

When I ask you for the logs I don’t mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.

Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.

I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that’s not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function in a text editor to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.

Please provide the entire log, this “helping” concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.

Haha nope not KDE-related afaik!

Just a great FOSS project.

Did I mention it’s also ridiculously fast?

It quite noticeably out-performs any other solution I’ve tried.

I really love Kopia.

I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.

It’s really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression algorithms and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage.

Snapshots are also effortless to mount and it even supports error correction to protect against bit-flipping and other long-term storage risks.

It’s also cross-platform and FOSS.

De-duplication prevents duplicate bits of data from being stored twice. Even if they are different file names or even synced from different systems.

The rolling hash/file-splitting means if you modify a 25GB file and only change a couple MB then only the changed couple MB will need to be stored. This means you can spend a month modifying small parts of a massive file thousands of times and avoid storing a new 25GB file thousands of times to archive those changes.

Ah interesting.

So unless you are watching a currently very popular video you are likely just streaming from the server where the video was originally uploaded?

Ok but isn’t peertube defederated?

Which means (unless I grossly misunderstand the concept)

that your video(s) are stored not only on your own server but also shared out to other servers which also keep a copy cached.

So in this scenario it would be very much immune to these concerns because your video(s) will be streamed from the closest federated server to you which has a copy, meaning you will always get the best throughput no matter what your physical location is or what it was when you uploaded.

You had me second-guessing for a minute, but I think the other commenter is correct.

One can definitely use Spaces in other clients, even Beeper supports them. So if it was an Element-specific feature, it doesn’t appear to be any longer.

Although it doesn’t have servers like Discord

They’re called Spaces on Matrix

I just run it on an old mini-pc that had a free pcie slot for a Google Coral chip

About 5 cameras, nothing crazy.

And yes I use it with home assistant as well

I use fennec from F-droid on mobile

Of course they can:

USB -PD support at limited speeds.

A proprietary Apple chip enables higher speeds, either using USB-PD still or another proprietary charging protocol.

They can just have both

At least then there will be no more confusion over who’s fault it is when your iPhone doesn’t charge as fast as you’d like.

It’s always been Apple’s fault, but now there will be no more saying it’s because Lightning is somehow better.
