You could try this: https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo

But in general for some quick adhoc file upload classic FTP is still not bad.

Samba on a Linux user meeting? lol 😅

Maybe you would be interested in writing a text explaining it for our wiki? We can link it in the sidebar then. Just use our Etherpad to draft a text and I can add it to the meta community page on our wiki.

Maybe it would be a good thing to add a first time login guide or so to the UI, but I don’t think these minute details will matter much to first time users.

Smart-phone reading while riding a bike? Seems dangerous 😱

As if interviewers would read the resume before or even be involved in the shortlisting of candidates…

Well, if you would actually focus on building planes that are safe to fly, maybe regulators in the EU would have a harder time objecting to your flying death-traps 🤦

Debian is a good base for a server, but most people don’t bother with a fancy desktop on their server 😅

The machine is probably going to be a bit expensive to run 24/7 due to the old CPU and probably unecessary GPU, but it depends on the electricity prices where you live.

Start with some basic things you actually want to use. It’s not hard and you can figure out most things with some persistence and web searches.

Also included: XMPP account on the same address, but it would be nice if they would keep their Ejabberd a bit more up to date.

Und dazu kommt noch der im Artikel auch erwähnte Nachholeffekt aufgrund auslaufender Coronahilfen.

Ist vermutlich mal wieder so eine vom Arbeitgeberverband platzierte Luftnummer die die Tagesschau unkritisch abtippt.

Ist irgendwie auch natürlich das in einer demographisch stark alternden Gesellschaft Firmen mit einer Leitung kurz vor der Rente und keinem Nachfolger dann aus solchen Gründen dicht machen.

What you need to be aware off is that the LibreOffice based options run a full headless LibreOffice client on the server for each connecting user and stream the view as tiles to the webclients. If you mostly use low power devices to access your office files remotely this can be great as it offloads the processing to the server. But I think in most home server or VPS settings the server speed is the more limiting factor.

OnlyOffice on the other hand runs entirely in your browser and thus puts little extra strain on the server.

Many people like cheap refurbished thinclients, and Intel CPUs 6th gen or newer are not so bad on power consumption.

A RasberryPi has the advantage that you will find a lot of easy to follow guides and if you get a NVMe hat for it to have fast database storage then Nextcloud should be relatively happy (it is a bit bloated these days).

Well, lets see when that actually happens. I am doubtful.

I guess they are being creative on marketing with having implemented a small part of the matrix protocol via their appservice bridge.

The disadvantage is that it is just a bridge like many others and totally dependent on Synapse, which is a resource hog and open-core.

actually implemented the matrix protocol, so it’s interoperable with matrix.

They originally planned this, but realized along the way that the Matrix specs are overly complicated and change at the wim of Element, so they ended up only supporting a link to Synapse via the appservice system, which isn’t great as it means you have to run both Rocketchat and Synapse on the same server for it to work.

Well… you can do it as an older person as well, but you can’t stay in official youth hostels and the private hostels that will allow you to stay have in recent years turned into some fancy “glampacking” party locations that are both relatively expensive and most older person will not like it at all.

The laid back slightly grubby hostel of my youth that made interrailing affordable and where it really didn’t matter what age you were seems to have become a very rare thing.

It’s random 🤷

I switched to https://github.com/kd2org/karadav from Nextcloud as I can continue using the Nextcloud apps and other WebDAV integrations. Together with https://www.filestash.app/ it makes for a quite nice and lightweight Nextcloud alternative.

XMPP is great. Movim.eu is a nice webclient for it that also does macro-blogging.

Akkoma serves me well for the micro-blogging part of the Fediverse.
