Effing paywalls

Mattermost runs as a Docker container and is excellent. You can create channels and groups which is incredibly useful.

Thank you! I feel I am close to success but still not there yet. This AIO includes a reverse proxy, but I already have one (NPM).

I’ve seen and applied the docs for how to route with my own reverse proxy, and I come to the point where it’s all installed and started.

But then - that button “open your Nextcloud↗️” does not work :'( and I think it’s because it still requires something from its own proxy? The docs aren’t clear on this.

The logs say “failed to fetch discovery endpoint from https://cloud.mydomain.here”

I want to use a flavor of AIO that is just Nextcloud and does not expect any specific certs and proxy and stuff. Just take care of the inside stuff, and let me do the outside stuff.

And amazing is is. It has almost completely replaced my use of Google Photos 👍

Sounds like a survivable approach. Except: has anyone heard of it? I hadn’t.

This makes me puke.

It has been THE viteo platform for literally decades. There is so much content there; it would be a tremendous effort to direct that elsewhere.

And that other site would quickly succumb to storage and bandwidth costs. What options could exist?

If only I could manage to get Nextcloud running on my Docker server.

I have tried many times but always fail. It’s infuriating because I am running 20+ other things without problems. Why is NC so hard??

Can you keep using the old version? The latest from Surtees?

How can people, “experts” even, work on shit like this with a good conscience? Even if they earn millions, they are still undressing all of us including their own families!

I refuse to believe they don’t know, but why don’t they care?

What a spectacular response. If you don’t mind, I’m going to bookmark and copy that text because it magnificently describes the whole situation.

Stuff you need for work don’t usually need any ad blocking to start with so that would be good enough.

Objection. I ran Ubuntu for 6 years but returned to Windows because too many things were just a little bit too odd, too off, too hands-on-config-files.

To be fair, the newer versions of Windows suck hard. 10 was really bad, 11 is horrific. I dream of going to Debian some day.

Why can’t we switch to thorium and molten salt instead? Much cleaner, much safer, same idea.

And on Android?

Pay wall 🖕

Make the fuckers 2mm thicker, gain 10 hours battery life. 5mm more, two days life. Bam. Solved.

Hey, don’t diss Fisher Price toys. The old ones from 40+ years ago were solid. So much so that the iconic telephone on wheels and with eyes is still around.

Modern day crap though? Oh I’m with you!

No, that’s what a rake does.

I’m with you, and we can make quite cool things in TinkerCad. To translate my question to your shape: if you decide to have larger rotors, or longer arms, you would have to fiddle with groups for a very long time, right? In comparison, with e.g. FreeCad and a shitload of parameters, that would be quick (but you’d need to spend a lot of time defining all those parameters… but only once, though).
