I’m also using SFTPGo at home and it works well.

At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

I used a NetCup VPS for a while but it would repeatedly have terrible performance, presumably because whoever I was sharing the server with was hammering the machine.

I use https://sftpgo.com/ at home for backing up and accessing files. It’s a private unshared network and it works well.

Yggdrasil for me, i think. I honestly don’t remember how it went though.

I had Linux on a second SSD at home recently, but an update to the laptop’s BIOS seems to have stopped it from letting me boot from it. I only keep windows around for games, which is ironic, as I hardly play them anymore.

Work is a windows shop, but I’d rather use Linux.

Not for long…

I’ve always wondered what the WTF in LLM stands for.

Because Google don’t want you to export your photos. They want you to depend on them 100%.

For months I’ve had problems with YouTube videos in Firefox, at any resolution. They would play at really low FPS. Sometimes the player would pause and continue at the correct FPS, but usually not. Skipping backwards or forwards usually fixes it but not always. Another step in their monopoly to destroy competition.

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management. The only problem for me is mobile apps. I’m trying out OwlFiles on Android and iOS; the free version includes WebDAV support, which works well.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.

Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.

Haha it’s easy to overthink things sometimes. I’m guilty of that. I’m using SFTPGo at home to serve files from a small server.

Would this work? https://rclone.org/

It has probably the worst UI of any site or app. I can never find the settings I need to modify or what the heck I’m looking at. It tells me that there’s a new reply specifically to me but I can never find it because it has long scrolled up in the history.

I tried posting an image using the app on my phone but it kept ignoring it. Somehow I magically hit the right button and it included it in my reply. I had no idea.

The content is hidden from the world unless you sign up and join, so the knowledge captured on a discord server is essentially useless.

It’s definitely a mashup on irc and web forums, but infinitely worse.

Does loading the kernel module help, assuming it’s installed?

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Not in my local store. Define “available”?

I think it’s worth investigating. I took a look but I didn’t want to deal with the file chunking, and settled on something slow and simple in SFTPGO.

They do. I thought I’d mention it as some people don’t mind that aspect of it.

Seafile might be able to replace Drive.
