  • What is the current state of Matrix?

    Jump

  • Some months ago, I had UTD issues with Element X too. My hs has been up for some years, and the devs claimed they had done a lot to fix UTDs.

    I was about to bring the server down, but as a last resort decided to log out all but one Element web session which was able to decrypt the messages and try resetting the key backup. Haven't had any UTD issues since then.

    Maybe worth a try.

  • Fedora suspend wakes up immediately

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is of any help, but I had the same issue with Wake on LAN enabled. This was a while ago with an Asus motherboard.

    If you don't need WoL, disable it and it should fix it if your MB is affected.

    But if you do need WoL, look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN.

    The section 5.2.2 Fix by kernel quirks was what fixed it for me.

  • What's the recommended Android browser for privacy in 2025, that is also usable for day to day tasks?.

    Jump

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't DDG browser also based on Chromium?

  • Distro for a new user

  • Another vote for Aurora.

    Universal Blue in general has been really solid, I remember one time in the last year or two when there's been any need for manual intervention. And that came with a notification after boot, with a link to instructions that were all copy-pastable as-is to the terminal.

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • My biased opinion is that most people run Nextcloud on an underpowered platform, and/or they install and enable every possible addon. Many also skip some important configurations.

    If you run NC on a bit more powerful machine, like a used USFF PC, with a good link to it, the experience is better than e.g. OneDrive.

    Another thing is, people say "Nextcloud does too much", but a default installation really doesn't do much more than files. If you add every imaginable app, sure it slows down and gets buggy. Disable everything you don't need, and the experience gets much better. You can disable even the built-in Photos app if you don't need it.

    Not saying NC is a speed daemon, but it really is OK. The desktop and mobile clients don't get enough love, that's true.

    I'm talking about the "bare metal" installation or the community Apache/FPM container images. AIO seems to be a hot mess, and does just about everything a container shouldn't be doing, but that's just my opinion.

  • Linkkivero saapui Suomeen - Kopiosto ajoi uutiskeräimen sulkemaan ovensa

    Jump

  • Eikö siitä ole väläytelty, että nettiyhteyksiin pitäisi lisätä kasettiveroa vastaava kustannus? Koska internetissä löytyy tekijänsuojattua materiaalia.

    Käytännössä se kai ajaisi saman asian kuin suoraan laitteiden verotus.

  • Backing up IaC

    Jump

  • Borgbackup in addition to git. Since there's probably not much data, any cheap VPS could act as storage.

  • Hyvä pointti! Maksuvaihtoehtoja on tarkoitus kyllä lisätä, kun/jos käyttäjämäärä kasvaa, mutta korttimaksunvälittäjät on pikkusummilla aika kalliita. Toistaiseksi perinteinen lasku on kyllä vaikuttanut enemmänkin toivotulta, ei tarvitse miettiä mihin korttitietoja syöttää.

    Sen verran korjaan väärinkäsitystä, että ensimmäisessä laskussa on 30pv maksuaikaa, joka on samalla ilmainen kokeilujakso. Seuraavissa sitten normaali 14pv.

  • Keep at it! The learning curve is not a straight line, just like with any skill. You'll see fast progress, just to be followed by a long plateau of no progress or even feel you're getting worse. And then you notice possibly big improvement again. And again.

    Don't worry about following sheets/chords initially. If chords are not in your muscle memory, you're basically doing three complex tasks simultaneously, reading, figuring out chords and fingering chords. I'd try to memorize one or two simple pieces first, to get the chords under your belt. Start simple and stay patient, it'll take time.

    Don't forget the rhythm. Play on top of recordings. You can be pretty liberal with the harmonics, but if you keep a steady beat it'll probably still sound good.

  • There's occasionally something buggy, but the last time I ran Windows there were a lot of bugs too. They're just abstracted away, which Linux DEs don't do at all.

    For me, it's about choosing the bugs that bug me less. If Windows is working better for you, just run Windows. Internet points are not worth much.

  • Why docker

    Jump

  • Portability is the key for me, because I tend to switch things around a lot. Containers generally isolate the persistent data from the runtime really well.

    Docker is not the only, or even the best way IMO to run containers. If I was providing services for customers, I would definetly build most container images daily in some automated way. Well, I do it already for quite a few.

    The mess is only a mess if you don't really understand what you're doing, same goes for traditional services.

  • Jellyfin on a vps

  • Most likely, a Hetzner storage box is going to be so slow you will regret it. I would just bite the bullet and upgrade the storage on Contabo.

    Storage in the cloud is expensive, there's just no way around it.

  • worth selfhosting immich or similar? what about backups?

    Jump

  • There was a good blog post about the real cost of storage, but I can't find it now.

    The gist was that to store 1TB of data somewhat reliably, you probably need at least:

    • mirrored main storage 2TB
    • frequent/local backup space, also at least mirrored disks 2TB + more if using a versioned backup system
    • remote / cold storage backup space about the same as the frequent backups

    Which amounts to something like 6TB of disk for 1TB of actual data. In real life you'd probably use some other level of RAID, at least for larger amounts so it's perhaps not as harsh, and compression can reduce the required backup space too.

    I have around 130G of data in Nextcloud, and the off-site borg repo for it is about 180G. Then there's local backups on a mirrored HDD, with the ZFS snapshots that are not yet pruned that's maybe 200G of raw disk space. So 130G becomes 510G in my setup.

  • Systemd is far from being perfect

    Jump

  • Imagine if all the people who prefer systemd would write posts like this as often as the opposition. Just use what you like, there are plenty of distros to choose from.

  • cross platform chat alternative to facebook messenger?

  • They could explain things better, you are right. I actually think I remember having almost the exact same confusion a few years back when I started. I still have two keys stored in my pw manager, no idea what the other one is for...

    The decryption has gotten much more reliable in the past year or two, I also try out new clients a lot and have had no issues in a long time. Perhaps you could give it a new go, with the info that you use the same key for all sessions.

  • cross platform chat alternative to facebook messenger?

    Jump

  • I have a feeling you are overthinking the Matrix key system.

    • create account
    • create password you store somewhere safe
    • copy the key and store somewhere safe
    • when signing on a new device, copy-paste the key

    Basically it's just another password, just one you probably can't remember.

    Most of the client apps support verifying a new session by scanning a QR code or by comparing emoji. The UX of these could be better (I can never find the emoji option on Element, but it's there...). So if you have your phone signed in, just verify the sessions with that. And it's not like most people sign in on new devices all the time.

    I'd give Matrix a new look if I were you.

  • Wireguard runs over UDP, the port is undistinguishable from closed ports for most common port scanning bots. Changing the port will obfuscate the traffic a bit. Even if someone manages to guess the port, they'll still need to use the right key, otherwise the response is like from a wrong port - no response. Your ISP can still see that it's Wireguard traffic if they happen to be looking, but can't decipher the contents.

    I would drop containers from the equation and just run Wireguard on the host. When issues arise, you'll have a hard time identifying the problem when container networking is in the mix.

  • You install the Google services and Play store from the gOS Apps application, then use them like normal.

    Behind the scenes they run in the sandboxed environment, but to the user it makes no difference.
