- Comment on Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea? 1 month ago:
For what it’s worth, I do think OCIS is worthy of switching to if you don’t make use of all of the various apps Next cloud can do. OCIS can hook into an online office provider, but doesn’t do much more than just the cloud storage as of right now.
That said, the cloud storage and UX performance is night and day between Nextcloud/Owncloud and OCIS. If you’re using a S3 provider as a storage backend, then you only need to ensure backups for the S3 objects and the small metadata volume the OCIS container needs in order to ensure file integrity.
Another thing to note about OCIS: it provides no at-redt encryption module unlike Nextcloud. If that’s important to your use case, either stick with Nextcloud or you will need to figure out how to roll your own.
I know that OCIS does intend to bring more features into the stack eventually (CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.). As it stands currently though, OCIS isn’t a behemoth that Nextcloud/Owncloud are, and the architecture, maintenance is more straightforward overall.
As for open-source: OCIS released and has still remained under Apache 2.0 for its entire lifespan thus far. If you don’t trust Owncloud over the drama that created Nextcloud, then I guess remain wary? Otherwise OCIS looks fine to use.

You use Steam for games on Linux primarily. Independent native games exist as well. Many Windows-only titles will be best run through Proton: Valve’s modified WINE bundle. Other store titles can be configured to run through WINE or Proton via apps like Lutris or Heroic (GOG, Itch.io, Epic Games, etc.).

- Comment on Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled 5 months ago:
A summary from its site and known technical details:
- no telemetry by default
- includes uBlock Origin
- has sane privacy-respecting defaults
- prepackages arkenfox user.js
- relatively well-maintained fork of Firefox that keeps up with upstream
- No major controversies AFAIK
As for Windows 7, nobody should really need to install Librewolf anyway on such a device. No device running Windows 7 should have access to the internet at this point. If you are asking about compatibility intending this use case, you have bigger problems to worry about than your choice of browser. If you just need to view HTML files graphically, even Internet Explorer or an older firefox ESR will do.
- Comment on Is Backblaze a reliable provider? 5 months ago:
2-2-1 still insinuates having a remote backup. I don’t see how this particular threat destroys a 2-2-1 setup.
- Comment on We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop 6 months ago:
What makes Next cloud unreliable for your use case? I’ve used the calendar (caldav) functionality for years without issue in sync.
- Comment on Steam announces game recording beta. 6 months ago:
Tbf to cloud sync, nothing is stopping you from using your own backup/restore service with your drm-free titles compared to the other features that Galaxy offers.
- Comment on Steam announces game recording beta. 6 months ago:
GOG has DRM for many titles: see Galaxy. As I understand it, it isn’t as pervasive as Steam, but is necessary if you want multiplayer on many titles or care about extras like achievements.
- Comment on BunkerWeb | The Open Source and next generation Web Application Firewall 8 months ago:
I have been utilizing BunkerWeb for some of my selfhost sites since it was bunkerized-nginx. It is indeed powerful and flexible, allowing multi-site proxying, hosting while allowing semi-flexible per-site security tweaks (some security options are forcibly global still, a limitation).
I use it on podman myself, and while it is generally great for having OWasp CRS, general traffic filtering targets and more built on top of nginx in a Docker container, the way Bunkerweb needs to be run hasn’t really remained stable between versions. Throughout several version upgrades, there have been be severe breaking changes that will require reading the setup documentation again to get the new version functional.

I am not sure if jest, but you could always take a few seconds at protondb that yes, all of those games do in fact run on Linux. For a in particular seems to have issues for some users, but everything else works with minimal hassle.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 10 months ago:
The desired alternative is not Matrix simply because privacy-conscious, open-source ecosystem vs. proprietary solution is not the goal. Matrix would still generally be terrible for support. What people want is publicly searchable content that is ideally indexed like a wiki. Many will happily settle for issue boards or even forums though. Discord has pathetic search capabilities in comparison to any search engine and has no way to properly and publicly backup information that is posted to the platform. With a website of any kind, one could clone the site for mirroring or simply get a web archive service to crawl relevant sections.
- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 11 months ago:
VideoLabs is made up of many of the same contributors of VideoLAN, including Jean-Baptiste Kempf themself. It is arguable that this is in fact Unity banning VideoLAN’s VLC bridges for media playback in Unity.
