It CAN be made quite sleek if configured well on good server hardware.

It does have a lot of issues, but a lot of it is stuff that causes more headaches for the admins than the users.

Which is to say, when run by a competent admin, it’s great.

Hm.

Haven’t seen that done.

Also DNS over HTTPS would defeat it, yes?

Yes

Nice. And you made sure to mention Anubis, but without it being a clickable link.

Perfect for many of the fun-policing prudes I’ve worked with. (They will never ever actually google a keyword themselves.)

Anubis is not out to make money, as such it has absolutely no obligation to try to appeal to corpos who would use it without contributing back to it.

Either your coworkers have to get over their hangups (have they not noticed that some of the best software that exists is made by furries?) or you’ll have to re-implement something yourselves.

Anubis is open source. You COULD fork it and modify it for your own purposes.

If your coworkers can’t separate what a piece of software is able to do from how it is branded, that’s their problem.

Is this some joke I have too many known-good btrfs snapshots to understand?

Is mbin still a thing?

“It’s just a proof of concept guys, there are totally tons of good reasons to do this. We are definitely not just mashing sci-fi words together to scam investors.”

Nextclouds shortcomings can be addressed. I have no idea how you’d even begin to get collabora to work sanely.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying Collaboras implementation is fundamentally unfit for use.

I used to host a CODE server.

It ran like shit, because it works by rendering the viewport on the remote system, not the client. Instead you essentially send every input to the server, wait for it to render the change, and then send that back to the client. Collabora is like using office software through vnc. Except all the time.

The responsiveness is atrocious. Especially if you try to use it over a less than ideal connection.

But it’s just fucking text data. It shouldn’t require the same infrastructure as remote gaming to be usable. It should be able to handle multiple seconds of latency, and just sync back up without the user ever noticing.

But it can’t. Because it RENDERS on the server. Which means the tiniest hiccup in the connection between server and user causes noticable issues.

How does that help me add collaborative office suite functionality to my nextcloud instance?

Collabora will never be good.

When I learned it’s “just” a libreoffice fork running on a remote server that is then screenshared to your browser…

The input latency and the graphical wierdness when resizing the viewport suddenly made sense.

I still want something better than onlyoffice for my nextcloud instance, but at least it is responsive.

Ah, no. I’m not familiar with how to do that.

But I wouldn’t think so? I’m more familiar with KDE, but with it at least I’ve always found ways to edit some files somewhere to accomplish what I want.

So far.

For this I’ve just been creating folders and setting their icons manually.

You mean the icons?

At least in KDE dolphin, you can edit any folder and set the icon as whatever you like. It’ll follow the theme color too, if you use the right icon.

• Matrix - federated chat server
• Vaultwarden - password vault
• Fireshare - share video clips
• Broadcast-box - host low latency streams

“You know that thing we sell? Buy a shitload of it.”

Technically, if you stop updating arch when it’s in a functional state it’ll never break.

Prism makes minecraft modding a breeze on both linux and windows.

Having ideas is generally not enough.

Volunteers don’t take requests. They take suggestions. They only act on the ones they want to.

If you want something to actually get implemented, offering a monetary reward, hiring a dev to contribute, or contributing yourself, is the best way to go.

I’ve gotten several features I wanted into software I use, by adding them myself.

It’s pretty much just that there are a lot of Germans.

The population of Germany is about 80 million.

All else being equal, there are 16 times more Germans online than us finns, for example.

Next to the USs 300 million people, that’s still one German about every 5 people. Add to that that Germans are definitely online more than americans, and yeah…

A lot of Germans.
