@nadnerB I wonder how many folks here would fall for that, lol.

2 things that should be on everyone's annoyances list:

1 - flat batteries in your cordless mouse
2 - stretched elastic in your undies

I can't speak to #1 as I hate cordlesss mice.

#2 - that just reminds me that I've lost some weight if I notice that they're stretched. If they're comfy, then I don't notice because they fit good. If they're a little tight, I dont' worry because they'll soon be stretched. .

Plus I just got fiber to my house, so I can download all my stuff from Amazon pretty quick. </BragsAboutFiberToEveryoneHeKnowsEvenPeopleWhoDontCare> (Wife rolls eyes)

Nice! I'm trying, but the only options I have for fiber out here are Kinetic by Windscream... I can't do that unless I have a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good reason to use Windscream.

Nextcloud 26 is out. (I didn't even realize 25 had been released, lol).

https://nextcloud.com/blog/hub-4-pioneers-ethical-ai-integration-for-a-more-productive-and-collaborative-future/

Seems like a lot of glitzy stuff has been added.

Nice, I need to check out the latest.

I just upgraded mine this morning. Only one of my apps (Music) isn't compatible, but I can deal with that until it gets updated.

This might just spark my interest to give Nextcloud a try again. Years ago, I gave up on self hosting my photos because it just wasn't "wife approved" enough for me. It was clunky and didn't "just work". So I chose to just go with auto backup with Amazon Prime Photos. That has been OK, but I do have to pay for it. My new idea to prove out is:

Have an app on iOS that automatically syncs all of our photos to a local server in my house. (I don't care what that is....nextcloud, something else that's better, whatever) Then nightly, sync that with Backblaze B2.

This seems like a simple concept, but years ago, it just wasn't user (wife) friendly. Maybe with the new release of nextcloud, this will be better?

I've been using this feature since I started using NextCloud.

App goes on phone and when it detects a folder with media in it (pics or videos), it asks "Do you want to sync this?" And you get some options to pick from.

The more recent versions (19 and up) have been great for me as far as syncing goes.

@AdamF Sweet. I switched from straight KVM to Proxmox.

Analogy: I crash car into a tree, blame mechanic.

Yay, Tuesday. That is all.

Things have been crazy around here with Vendors being stupid, and higher ups knee-jerking about "major security vulnerabilities" in apps that we don't have available off-site.

Finally got all the fires of the last week and a Monday put out.

Unintentional post storm walk,… office I was at for training has no power, generator won’t start either… build been down since mid afternoon Friday now.

Walking the warehouse may have found previously unknown roof damage. That’ll add to the Monday stress…

That's always fun.

If you're already using NextCloud anywhere...

ReadOnlyFriday before March Break with the SO and kiddos

We do the ROF and ROM (Read only Friday / Read only Monday) here most of the time. Occasionally we'll have to do something on a Monday. But maybe 2x a year do we make any major changes on a Friday.

Experimenting with mdadm while recovering from Covid.

OH.... At a glance, I thought you had misspelled MDMA...

Ha!

The last couple of days have seen me sitting in my chair resting and being useless. I'm returning to work tomorrow and thankfully have no commute :).

We like no commute. My last few weeks have been just bouncing from one project to the next.

At the data center getting the final stuff set up for our disaster recovery system / 3rd backup.

Sweet! I wish you luck and good testing! ... You are going to test it, right?

Just got home from the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Definitely recommend!

got any photos? I'd love to see it. What state is in ??

Got a lot of 'em, but it's late and time to get to bed. Here's one awhile of the nice desert scenery and mountains in the background we found on the way home:

Am I the only one that suddenly turns into a 5 year old when I see this picture?

@pmoncho Does SHIFT+ENTER work?

@dafyre I actually think i got things working!
a new experience for me

That's awesome! Did you reboot it to make sure it still works after?

Nah. I quite while I was ahead.

I wish you luck.

May your reboots be successful!

There's been some odd earthquakes on the lake where I live here lately. Something like 3 in the last 2 months... This is central Georgia in the US. Really weird.

I think somebody woke up all the giant catfish sleeping in the lake.
