You misread that.

The database was from prior to 21.x, because i installed NC 8 years ago at v14 and have upgraded since then. I’ve been upgrading the same system since late 2016.

Stop picking fights with strangers.

I’m not sure what gave you the impression I don’t follow the official procedure, I do follow the official upgrade procedure, and always have through its many stupid iterations for the last 8 years.

Example error, from last week:

Devs did not test with NC instances created before v21.x, so the SQL db is broken when going through the official upgrade if your nc has the old structure and I had to manually modify the actual db to work.

This kind of shit happens about twice a year. Mind you, this exact literal thing happened from v18.x to 19.x also, you’d think they has learned their lesson.

And php itself is fine. Not the most secure way to build a webapp, but fine. However, upgrading PHP on various platforms is an exercise in pulling your hair out.

Nextcloud is great when it’s working. Most upgrades are fine. But when it poops the bed, it’s another hour I can’t get back. No other self-hosted software in my stack is like that.

Thank you, I’ll try radicale.

That YouTube strike for Jeff geerling scares me… Twice in 6 months? For just mentioning libreelec?

We are all being driven underground by the profiteers who are ruining what was at one time a great free platform. I hope we find a way to keep our freedoms alive.

Fuck the yt police, and fuck their moms.

I rsync nightly to an old synology box. It’s in an out building, so if there’s a fire, it comes with me.

It is a bit of a different approach than proxmox, but well worth the small learning curve.

Brodie has a good read on the pulse of Linux, worth following if you want to keep up with linux news.

I’ve been using NC for about the same amount of time and I will say I’m no longer as happy with it as I once was, primarily because it’s a mess of PHP, gum and popsicle sticks held together by me going in there every 3 upgrades to fix ‘occ missing indices’, add a sql table or some such error.

The caldav integration did allow me to break free from google some more, and it works well, but I’ve since moved file sync to syncthing and I’m looking for a standalone caldav solution.

OpenVino is about your only option here. It is not super efficient and will increase system load during those jobs.

Really great. Passing through hardware is a lot easier, settings can be defined in profiles (containers that should start with boot, which should have uid/gid mapping, privileged, etc), and overall system memory usage is way lower.

I used to run proxmox, but I wasn’t using most of its functions. I now have migrated to a couple of low power Debian machines on zfs with lxc. I use incus and ansible to manage everything, including backups.

Fair enough.

Ça sera bientôt les vacances!

En effet. Bravo!

I get your meaning, but there are other “unpolluted” distros where the theming and arbitrary package selection is kept at a minimum. Debian comes to mind.

In fact, Fedora does take liberties with non-free drivers and configs for the sake of a sane and usable quality of life.

I’m not trying to start a pissing contest here, just highlighting that there’s a Linux for everyone, and that is the great thing about Linux.

I grew up en français, albeit in Canada. In our informatique classes, we had CSA standard layout keyboards (IBM, not Microsoft).

It’s essentially a QWERTY keyboard with built-in compose key modifier and silkscreened characters on the board for accented characters (capitals included). Not too bad to learn on, and considering that QWERTY would be so prevalent in my life, I think it’s a good compromise.

When I was in uni in the 90s and finally ran across an AZERTY keyboard, I literally couldn’t use it. Not only is layout different, but the character mod sequence makes no ergonomic sense to me.

NB: fun fact, y a pas de mots qui commencent en C cédille. C’est pas pour dire qu’on a pas besoin de majuscules cédillées. :)

NBB: ¤ is an end-of-cell marker, introduced at the advent of word processors to distinguish newline and carriage returns from the ends of cells in tables. Not sure if it had a meaning before then, but my memory is saying it had something to do with sub-paragraphs.

What do you mean by “least polluted”?

I’m not baiting you, I don’t grok what you mean.

Docker seems to have gained more ground than LXC

They aren’t really competing in the same space. LXC is more comparable to jails or openvz in that they provide an os layer, Docker does not.

I recently saw docker described in a web comic where some poor dev was bemoaning that his software “worked on his machine”, and his teacher says “then we’ll ship your machine”, meaning Docker sets up a software environment for a project to work, nothing more.

Docker was at first based on lxc, but has since moved to its own libcontainer.

What… Is everything profit to you?

You’re saying law enforcement can easily fingerprint you?

Yes. The days of Maltego are behind us, law enforcement now just file requests directly with Google.

You have a few questions here, which ones do you want answered?

To configure the camera, you should have defined it in the config. That you don’t know this means you should go back to the docs and read the setup section start to end.

I write my frigate clips to an NFS share. I mount it on the host and bind Mount the path in my container. You can also mount NFS directly in a container, but it comes with extra steps.

LXC is not a proxmox-specific thing. You can run lxc containers on almost any Linux and you can manage multiple containers with other software (lxd, incus, etc). At one time, docker was based on lxc, but both docker and lxc have evolved significantly since then.

LXC and docker are indeed similar, but one aims to provide an OS-level environment and the other simply a software environment.
