hmm interesting idea. I do not get the idea that nextcloud is reliably "easy" as it's kind of a joke how complex it can be.
Someone else suggested WebDAV which I believe is the filesharing Nextcloud uses. Does Nextcloud add anything relevant above what's available from just WebDAV?
A few weeks ago I put some serious time/brainpower into the network and got it waaaay smoother and faster than before. Finally implemented some upgraded hardware that has been sitting on a shelf for too long.
I tried iperf. Actually iperf3 because that's the first tutorial I found. Do you have any opinion on iPerf vs iperf3? On Desktop I ran:
iperf3 -s -p 7673
On Laptop I am currently doing some stuff I didn't want to quit so this may not be a totally fair test. I'll try re running it later. That said I ran:
iperf3 -c desktop.lan -p 7673 -bidir
And what looks like a summary at the bottom:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 102 MBytes 86.0 Mbits/sec 152 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 102 MBytes 85.6 Mbits/sec receiver
I actually have AnotherDesktop on the LAN also connected via ethernet. Going from Laptop ---> AnotherDesktop gets similar to the above.
However going AnotherDesktop ---> Desktop gets 10x better results:
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 936 Mbits/sec 0 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 933 Mbits/sec receiver
Laptop has Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 who's Max Speed = 867 Mbps. It probably isn't the bottleneck. Although with the distro running at the moment (Fedora) I have a LOT of problems with everything so possibly things aren't set up ideally here.
I still didn't upgrade the actual wireless access point for the network; don't recall what the max speed is for current WAP but could be around 100Mbps.
So this is an interesting path to optimize. However I am still interested in solving the original problem because even when I am directly using Desktop, things are slow. I do not really want to upgrade it is I can get away with a software solution. There are many items on my list of projects and purchases that I'd rather concentrate on.
I've used WebDAV here and there. I found some aspects of set up frustrating so I tend to keep away from it except for smaller, short term use cases.
Does it do the caching thing or is it more of an alternative to SSH/SFTP?
If it's an alternative, what is the benefit?
IIRC WebDAV can be set up from inside certain filemanagers (like nautilus with an extension installed) or by using a web server like apache, or by using smaller stand alone services.
I love this logo. <3
By showing how you drew a comic about it them posted it to lemmy ofc
Careful where you point that thing. I unintentionally disrupted someone's life by introducing them to ventoy. Now they have been distrohopping like crazy because of how easy it is.
Use the website alternativeto.com to locate Linux versions of windows or Mac programs. Also if you find something on Linux but its not quite right, can find listed similar apps.
It has quite extensive coverage of GUI apps. Less so CLI. Certain niche areas are more comprehensive than others.
this place isn't what it used to be
Idk what specific image was shown. But anything described as "anime girl" could have strong csam vibes assuming this grad school student is older than 11 themselves.
For some reason its normalized in some parts of the Linux community to have sexualized images of children.
This is my fear! I have done it before.... Forgetting something is synced and deleting what I thought was "an extra copy" only to realize later that it propagated to the original.
