Musical Interlude: Matt Bianco isn't a person, it's a group, that included singer Basia, who went on to a highly successful solo career. The group reconvened for a last hurrah after one member passed away, and this is a track from the album.
The biggest problem of #selfhosted services and #homelab is a bus factor. What if my existence will be interrupted unexpectedly? When my #Nextcloud will crash someday after that, my family will not be able to get their files and photos anymore...
I'm thinking about an external drive with all Nextcloud data periodically copied there. To be able to disconnect it by hand from the dead server and connect to any PC. But which file system should it have? FAT32 can be read on any system but has a single file size limit. NTFS is not supported on Macs, EXT4 is not supported on both, Macs and Windows... I mean, not supported out of the box...
Bad situation. I wonder why #NTFS isn't the answer, the #Samba folks and the courts did so much.
The ingenous idea I picked up somewhere was that the #DVD filesystem, #UDF, had cross-platform support! A UDF-formatted USB stick works fine across atleast Linux and Windows. Startlingly, there is no filesystem-checker for UDF, which might be a deal-breaker. Or maybe only put checksummed archives on it or something?
After installation of the (what I thought only) necessary sway packages I got an empty screen. Completely empty. No #dmenu, no #waybar - no reaction for MOD4+d or any other key pressed. Obviously I missed the relevant README ;-)
At the end I got a working #Fuzzel menu with set $menu dmenu_path | fuzzel | xargs swaymsg exec
So Microsoft Edge added workspaces (somewhat similar to Vivaldi's workspaces, but with collaboration), but in true Microsoft fashion, you can only use them if you have an Active Directory account. lol
Playing with #riscos on a Raspberry is fun, feels like an alternate reality 🙂
I managed to compile my #mos6502#assembler for it, and as able to assemble a #C64 hello world.
Restricting to ANSI #C when writing it helped porting a lot. Did not had to change a single line. In the next days / weeks I try to adapt it a little more to #riscos, and perhaps try to get it into the package manager.
@Wintermute_BBS Yes still running #RISCOS on it. Works great so far. I run it on a #Raspberry Pi 3b+. It feels much faster than any Linux based desktop a tried.
I am still learning out how some things work, because it is very different to all systems I am known to.
I use #OmniClient to integrate it with my SMB network, so I can transfer files easily. The SMB server is #SAMBA based.
Everytime I re-find this track ( / the DJPatife remix) I get it stuck in my head and have to listen to it maybe once a day for a week.
Sambass, Brazilian samba flavoured Drum N Bass is just good stuff. Awesome Samba guitar & vocals over solid beats. I think most people can appreciate this.
