It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.

Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.

Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.

I played it like 2 or 3 years ago and had a blast with it all the way through the full campaign again. I wouldn’t say it’s the best story, but I loved traveling all around the sea and meeting all the characters. I’m into AC games for the immersion and gameplay. Story is the last reason I play these.

I have about 6% confidence this will capture what made me enjoy the first game. I’ll probably just replay the original again.

I constantly would get files stuck in the database that I couldn’t delete. All of the forum posts would talk about going into the database to fix it, but the whole point of NextCloud for me was to completely avoid database management.

I’ve fallen back to using DUFS or copyparty for most things since I really just needed my file store to be browsable via web in some cases.

I probably would still be using NextCloud if they didn’t obfuscate the file system.

You should dress up KDE to look like Windows 11 just to prove a point.

I find a big part of trying to be the friend that transitions others to Linux is taking on the role of mentor. It’s something a lot of wish we could just hand to someone and dust off our hands, but that ultimately leads to experiences like yours.

For a better chance of success, especially on first install, be on the line with them as they go through the steps, or in person is better yet.

Answer all the questions you can and help them install all their usual stuff. Most people don’t want to have to go through this change, so making it fun and social goes a long way.

The only people I know that I’ve not been able to convince are absolutely attached to their competitive shooters. That seems to be the last bastion for many.

I’ve tried to explain (in very subtle ways) that their lives would genuinely be better off without those types of games reeling them in, but it’s a genuine addiction for them.

I’m the opposite. Anything that overlays on the screen is actively frustrating to me. I’ll deal with it for foreign film, but for English, I always turn them off, even if they’re defaulted on.

He hits it on the head. Good for personal projects, terrible for maintained/mainstream ones.

Uuuuhhh… Laptop, horse, Jackie Chan — Damn!

It is impossible to wake up until you are fully rested, including by alarm, fire, or intruder.

Monk strats for the win. My new tactic is running up walls to get an attack from above and gaining free advantage.

I love how the other players say they don’t consider it cheating.

I wonder if there have been any ML approaches to anti-cheat yet. I could actually see that making a ton of sense.

The very rough idea is this:

I have a server with multiple services and only one open port (not counting the SSL port) on my router.

Traffic comes into that one port straight to my server. That server has a reverse proxy installed with a directory of subdomains and associated ports.

It internally routes traffic coming in on my open port to the internal services on the server without having to expose them directly to the internet.

The big advantage is that because it all goes through my reverse proxy, I can add SSL certs to just that and now all of my subdomain services get the benefits of the SSL cert on the host.

I’m sure there are other uses for reverse proxies, but this is how they work in my setup.

You made pretty much every point exactly how I was going to make it.

I will mention that even as a pretty experienced sysadmin, learning Docker, reverse proxies, and relevant config files took ages because there are treated as assumed knowledge.

Every YouTube video on Docker is 30 minutes shorter than they should be, and terminology for reverse proxies is really confusing if you’re not already familiar.

It’s great to say you shouldn’t use these if you’re not familiar, but these are also probably the most poorly taught subjects in computing right now from my experience.

I was referring to where the lettering meets the hat. There should be some tension around the letters where it’s pulled onto the hat itself. Here, it just looks like they’ve been laid on flat.

This might just be classic Photoshop. It’s pretty easy to generate semi-realistic embroidery previews and warp it a bit to match the hat.

Definitely not real though as there’s no bunching of the hat where the stitches meet.

Surely a direct stream from the internet straight onto host hardware can’t be exploited in any way. All you gotta do is put the stream in a file. How hard could it be? (/s)

Let’s not stand around and argue about who killed who…
