I use this:

rsync -rah --progress /path/on/source/ user@ip.of.local.server:/path/on/destination

I will try the ping next time I attempt this. There doesn’t seem to be a definite time when the issues start though. It tries to copy the file over, and when it is done it continues to the next. If the first one didn’t succeed, it will retry and if that also fails, it will say “ERROR verification failed - discarding update” (paraphrased) and continue to retry the next file if that also failed.

I do see some fluctuations in the transfer speeds during transfer, which could indicate the times the connection is struggling.

Makes sense that it would be able to, especially considering the flag that allows you to force an older version as the sender. Still find it strange that on equal version numbers they default to different protocol numbers. I would have at least thought there was an easy way to tell it which protocol version to use by default, but I have at least not been able to find out how.

Hm, I never considered Audiobookshelf for e-books - I already have it running for audiobooks. I should check that out!

It is important. But I find the ones I have tried good, and would survive if I had to use either of them. I use KDE Plasma on my main personal laptop, I have Cinnamon running on a living room computer connected to my TV (not an ideal solution, but I’ve so far not taken the time to optimize the setup) and GNOME om my work laptop. I much prefer KDE Plasma out of them, but I like the others also.

They got camera working on FP3 and FP4. Fairphone employs a guy who basically does work to get their hardware to run Linux.

I need to do this, good memories!

I recently got my Linux-laptop in a heavy MS-based company. It is enrolled via Intune and I can access all company resourcws an MS365 apps through Edge.

Apart from having to use Edge for all of that, it is a great experience compared to what I am used to.

But it took a while and a lot of complaining about being allowed to use more appropriate tools for our job. But the bottom line is: ask for it. Tell them why you need it. When they say no, try again later, document why your current setup fails and why getting a Linux-machinee would work. Maybe you will succeed. IT here has gone from “we don’t use open source” (actual quote) to giving us Linux-laptops and setting up Linux-servers on OT. They grow from this also.

ThinkPad T14s Gen 5

Yeah, T14s Gen 5

Someone has obviously not been forced to work with Windows 11? :p

It’s a massive upgrade and miles better than what I came from, and while not ideal, I’m certainly not letting perfect be the enemy of the good here. Edge is just for those MS365 apps I need to work with once in a while (and a couple of other services that rely on SSO, most annoyingly GitHub). I’ll live

Also, I’m a KDE person, but so far I don’t hate GNOME.

Yes. Using it through Edge with no issues so far.

Internal team communication goes outside of Teams though (we self-host Mattermost).

ETA: No more issues than the native app under Win11, I meant to say.

Yeah, but it has also required many hard fought battles internally, and I can be happy with my coworkers and team lead for taking the charge in several of those. It helps having had multiple examples of their policies getting in the way of getting stuff done, and that we are able to accomplish our jobs when we get our way.

Worst part is that we’re not a terribly big company - but the IT department can still make it feel like I work in a multinational megacorp some times. I can only imagine what it is to actually work in one of those…

That was an intense intro, so I had to stop watching. Did he end up enjoying it and sticking with it?

Ah, right! I didn’t scroll past the Newswire-section because my brain parsed it as a “Related articles”-section with links to previous posts. I am no longer confused!

Sorry, what does this have to do with the post? I tried to find references to it but couldn’t, and now I am confused.

I’ve been running tge AIO container for several years now and it is running perfectly fine. I only enable whatever I use, so for instance no Collabora.

But for Collabora, while it should be good for single-person use, if you require some kind of collaborative simultaneous work, you should probably set up the high-performance backend. I did this at work for a NC-instance hosted via Hetzner and it works well when we tried it, but we don’t really use those kinds of tools much in our daily work.

I think their point was to make sure they are done in order, i.e. update before upgrade, not the other way around as in OPs example.

No. I have a RTX 3050 Ti Laptop which I have not had many issues with. The biggest issue I have experienced was that a game completely froze at the same point every time. This was due to a regression in their drivers. They spent their sweet time fixing it to, and following the issue thread highlights one of the main issues with their drivers being non-free: extremely competent users providing logs and effort to troubleshoot, but unable to work on the fix themselves. And what seemed to be summer interns replying once in a while and nothing happening for a long while.

But that said, I find the hate overblown. You could get tge impression that running Linux on a machine with an Nvidia-GPU will instantly burn down your house or spawn a portal to hell. It will not. I will get an AMD card at the next crossroads, but I am not ditching my card now just because it is Nvidia. It works fine enough.

I like FreshRSS - I also have some readers that connect to my instance, like FluentReader that provides a better full article view, but I mostly use FreshRSS directly these days.

You can run Android apps on a Linux phone via Waydroid, but banking apps could be an issue if they force these Google intrgrity checks. Grindr probably does not?

Anyway, you should be able to fire up Waydroid on your Linux desktop and test this beforehand. I have never done this myself, so I might have misunderstood something.
