The North American pole of inaccessiblity being in South Dakota (maybe an hour drive from major highways) and not somewhere in northern Canada says to me that the name does accurately reflect what these points are.

I get the joke, but it’s weird for me that my highest ratio is for a Debian 13.3 ISO - 767MB down, 13.85GB up

Everything should be edible except things that obviously are not - mussel shells for example. I feel the tomato vines fall into this category (but accept that it’s arguable). That shallot is 100% edible.

I already run Debian on my desktop and 3 other small servers. I just haven’t moved over my main one yet because of the complexity, and procrastination.

My main home server runs Ubuntu - I installed it 15-20 years ago and it’s grown into a monster. I’ve been slowly documenting everything so I can reinstall with Debian. Have to up the priority of that project.

I’m not sure if it’s Lemmy or my client (Jerboa) but when I tap on that link I don’t get their real Mastodon profile. I get something that looks legit, but it has minimal details and only one post from 9 months ago??

I understand that - that’s why I mentioned terminal sessions into my home assistant instance and the file editor add-on. But when developing a home assistant component the only way to run it is in a home assistant instance. VS Code with devcontainers provides a development home assistant instance for this purpose. If I’m just editing the files in my production instance then I need to keep.restarting it to load new versions etc. Maybe I’ll just install another instance for development.

Yeah, I’m just learning that now. Devcontainers is great because it runs a full instance of Home Assistant for debugging and test. There is DevPod Containers that might do the same thing, but I don’t use DevPod so it’s also a bit overwhelming (using that word a lot today…) to get going and I’m not sure if it’s compatible with the devcontaiers configuration in the Home Assistant dev tree.

Codium sounds perfect - thanks. It’s still going to be a bit overwhelming - but that’s another learning experience.

You are correct - they have no legal obligation. They do however have a moral obligation. It seems to me that if corporations want to be people when it comes to things like political donations then they should be people when it comes to their moral obligations as well.

I think the bigger question is how many corporations are supporting foss projects? I’m sure a lot of us contribute a bit here and there if we can and I’m sure it makes a difference - but if some of these corporations, making billions of dollars profit, contribute just a tiny fraction of their wealth it could make a huge difference.

It’s the same argument as recycling, turning off lights, walking instead of driving etc. etc. - yes there are 8 billion of us and if we all do it, it will make a difference, but the difference we make is still not significant compared to corporate greed.

We are being gaslit to accept yet another scenario where we socialize the cost and privatize the profit.

Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says “App installed from F-Droid” and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says “No such app found.”

I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn’t exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

I’m the same as you, but there are a lot of people that pay (monthly fees I believe!) for pre-built “android boxes”.

simple webdav server that’s compatible with the Nextcloud sync clients

Now THAT is interesting - when I was last experimenting with Nextcloud I learned that the files part is just a webdav server. Unfortunately I also learned that they have a bit of a handshake before the webdav so the client wouldn’t work with my apache2 webdav server. Thanks!

That seems to be the case. Really sucks that the documentation at nextcloud.com directs people to the AIO. I guess they hope that if you have a bad time trying to install your own server you might buy their cloud service.

Yeah, I can see how someone that has “grown up with it” could be happy. But as and experienced sysadmin coming at it for the first time - the documentation is a bit lacking.

Because an android client is one of my requirements. I can get files from SMB on Android using any number of file managers, but I can’t map a SMB share to a filesystem so files are available for an app to use.

Yes! There used to be a little utility that could map a SMB share in Android, but that got killed years ago.

So, use something else

That’s why I’m here - looking for suggestions

like Seafile.

I’ll have another look - you’re not the only person to suggest it. My recollection is that it seemed to be old and not really maintained.
