Thanks, but I do not have an IT department. I am provided a computer for my use and at my discretion. I am essentially my own IT.
I am having trouble with Windows lately, and I believe that a new OS may help me be more productive, so it’s on me. I am not confident enough to eliminate Windows entirely in case it does not work out, hence the wish for dual-boot.
If you have a way to contact your friends, let them know where to meet you.😉

Scary fact: food contamination laws allow manufacturers up to 1 floof in each food package 🙀
Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?
Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.
If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.
It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.
There are several apps and UIs that do this. Tesseract for one.
It’s just because they used novel punctuation — some people still type like this.
Depends on the bean.
I like to own the stuff I buy.
I don’t want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.
I don’t want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.
Having come from zero knowledge, to now self-hosting for over a year, I can tell you that you just search for them one at a time. Sometimes they will make sense. Sometimes not yet.
Stick around here, ask questions, and look things up.
What about one mosquito with six guns?

No, they already have Metapedia for that.
Great! Love this app!
Right now I’m using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you’re my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!
