You may be thinking of AppImage. That's one file that contains everything.

I still don't know what you're trying to say.

Shouldn't there already be laws handling that? I somehow can't believe that hotels are allowed to have cameras in the rooms.

Apple to allow iOS app downloads direct from websites in the EU (with restrictions), in compliance with the Digital Markets Act (www.pcmag.com)

Developers interested in distributing iOS apps on their websites also have to cross a high bar. This includes being registered or incorporated in the EU, being a member of “good standing in the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more,” and having an app that received “more than one million first annual...

Queue years of lawsuits until they actually comply with EU law.

Uh, how could Google show any personal recommendations without storing any data to base that on? If anything this seems to be Google actually doing what they say they're doing.

Isn't there a free demo?

I liked the atmosphere in the beginning. Reminded me of Diablo 1. But beyond that there doesn't seem to be a lot of love.

You can select the country if you don't use their app and instead set it up manually with OpenVPN.

A 1070 is hardly a card anyone would buy in 2024. Maybe they were running Windows before that and didn't care that much.

Also, hard to believe, but for a long while nVidia actually gave you the better experience on Linux. Before AMD had bought ATI. And probably a good while after the sale. The ATI drivers sucked ass.

bjoern_tantau ,

VPN shouldn't change anything because it works off of the browser settings.

In a way. I have a WordPress blog with an ActivityPub plugin to also publish to Mastodon. It's on a different domain than my Lemmy instance.

Only thing I had to do was to set up Apache as a proxy for the Lemmy Docker. Apache can serve different stuff depending on the domain. Nginx can probably do that as well.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I compare it to a samba or (s)ftp share. I wish it was similar in speed and ease of use.

It's become better since I migrated over to PostgreSQL. But it's still not great.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I'd argue that the primary function of Nextcloud is to serve files. Of course the other services lack other stuff, which is why I'm still using Nextcloud. But I still wish its performance was similar to pure file servers.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Sure. But serving files is the core functionality of Nextcloud. You can remove every other functionality. But the files app cannot be removed.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

PostgreSQL makes it faster still.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yes, should be easy to find. Nextcloud has a tool for that.

I'm so glad my laptop has on board Intel graphics next to the nVidia stuff. Ignoring nVidia has made my life so much easier.

Well, exiting Blender is much easier.

Don't know if "nice" is appropriate.

Is Gwenview available for Windows? I quite like it on Linux.

bjoern_tantau ,

Set up a weekly or at least monthly reminder to check for updates. That's the most important thing to do. Outdated packages may have known security vulnerabilities.

Time for a class action suite.

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other...

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Pretty sluggish for me as well. Bare metal install with Apache, PHP 8.3, since a few days PostgreSQL and the whole Redis memcached opcache whatevercache stuff. Next step would be to check if the AIO Docker is the magical thing that makes it fly.

Some 8 core CPU I'm too lazy to look up, 16 GB RAM and two HDDs. SSDs would probably help, I guess.

Sure, the only winning move is not to play.

Well, at least on Tumblr that's only going to affect bringbacktheporn.tumblr.com.

We definitely use the calendar on Nextcloud. Everyone has their own one and it's shared with the other. We tried using tasks but that didn't work out for us, but I'd say it's more because of us and not for a lack of tools. Both work with open source apps on Android.

What's worked best for us for our groceries is a dedicated Signal group. By now even our children are in that one.

If it's really just three pages I would just build them with static HTML and CSS. Maybe use PHP to have common elements in a separate file, but that's about it.

And here I thought it would be a Barbie head mounted display which is in reality just some rose tinted glasses.

Damnit, now I have to purge my server's pictrs store again.

A few months ago some sickos spammed child porn across different Lemmy communities. Not sure if pictures are even replicated across instances. But I deleted everything from that period just to be sure.

bjoern_tantau OP ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

If I went with a shared service I would run it natively on Debian Stable.

Lemmy currently uses a dockerised PostgreSQL service. I've got 16 GB RAM which is currently mostly occupied by both MariaDB and the PostgreSQL Docker.

bjoern_tantau OP ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

It's fairly straightforward to migrate a db to a new postgres instance, so you're not shooting yourself in a future foot if you change your mind.

That's what I needed to hear. I'll just try it out and see what works best for me. Stupid me didn't even think of that.

I'm not really bothered about services going down all at once. The server is mostly just used by me and my family. We're not losing money if it's out for an hour or so.

bjoern_tantau OP ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

That was more or less the default of the PostgreSQL container and it ran like ass because I don't have a SSD.

Basically I had to give MySQL a ton of RAM for Nextcloud and PostgreSQL for Lemmy. For now I've put both on the same PostgreSQL instance and let them battle out who gets the assigned RAM by themselves.

bjoern_tantau ,

Which is nobody's fault, not even the Roman's.

There is a Debian spin for the Pinephone called Mobian. I ran that for quite a while with Phosh as the front end. It's probably still installed on the device.

What I hate about ARM is that you basically need a separate image for every device instead of one for everything like with x86.
