Synestine

I’m not aware of an SFTP client that works like the cloud drive connectors. Do you know of one that monitors local files/dirs for changes and automatically sends them? Or polls the server for changes and downloads then (if they’re on the allow list)? Keeps versions?

If literally all you’re doing is occasional file transfers, sure, SFTP is easy. That’s not how most people use cloud drive clients.

For me and my group, Nextcloud works fine and fast. We do more than file sync and share.

Same here. If it’s TOTP based 2fa, you can keep them in entries and use them from there.

No. I upgrade my Ubuntus before they go EOL so I don’t need ESM.

Most places that want ESM do so because they can’t get away from EOL versions. I refuse to get stuck in that swamp myself, so I run LTS and migrate/rebuild them when necessary.

SSHFS uses SFTP which is built into SSH, so no server to install. Its not as fast as NFS, but requires no setup. For something small like a home lab, that is a big advantage.

Dozens? Name three, and be sure to include number of aps in each ecosystem.

I’m sure there are dozens of Chinese smart watches, but most that I’ve seen are white-labels and sorely missing an ecosystem.

Methinks you underestimate the complexity.

And all the other watch makers I’ve looked at are not doing, or even considering, what Pebble did.

Because good software is hard. The PebbleOS is a gem, and no, no one could in 9 years.

Google dumped the Pebble OS code on GitHub when this whole “rePebble” thing (not Rebble) started. Now there’s a new phone app coming out soon (or out now, depending on your platform and abilities) that handles old and new Pebbles and modern phone platforms.

None of this is from Google.

Look into ffmpeg’s “concat” feature. It can do what you want. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate

Ah. It just didn’t compute for me. I’d think stopping the DHCP server or making it not listen on that interface would be easier than trying to firewall it off.

Yeah, blocking thise inbound and outbound will quiet that service.

Block port 68 as well as 67. And are you sure the output rule is the best place for that?

It’s not GP itself that’s he problem, it’s supposed to work on a few mainstream distris, but the Company admins responsible noped out. They had such a hard time making Windows and Mac work that they can’t be bothered for “a couple of Linux users”.

Right now I’m stuck on a Mac laptop. I hate it, but after our Network team could not manage to get Global Protect working on Linux, and my boss decided keeping them happy was easier than keeping me productive, I didn’t have much choice (Mac or Windows). I’ve worked in environments before where I was able to run Linux on my laptop/workstation, so long as I was able to support myself and do the required work. I used remote desktop (Or a Windows VM) for my Windows work; my browser and Java for most everything else. Now even Office is a shitty webapp for the most part, and Teams “works” on Linux (As much as Teams works at all).

Even here, I have to wait until Helpdesk manages to build out support for new Mac OS releases, so I’m still on 14.6.

I told them prior that I would be leaving the company if they forced me to migrate to Mac. I’m currently looking for a better position elsewhere and will tell them exactly why when I turn in my notice. Not that it will change anything, it’ll help me feel better.

Is there a way yet to in-place upgrade or is it still only “flash a new SD”?

I use Jellyfin as a backend for my Kodi boxes (I have 3, and JF keeps them in sync). I used to have a YouTube plugin, but YT broke that this year.

Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I’ve run it for years using only an IR remote.

Slackware 1.2, because it came on a CD in the back of a fat paperback manual I got at Barnes and Noble. It was only later that I learned what a distro is.

Currently on Fedora with a Frankenstein desktop of my own concoction.

Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.

Really? Which ones?

You mean besides Fedora?
