  • Yeah NC is way too much bloated and heavily unstable after some long term use. As an alternative for cloud storage I use ownCloud. The newer owncloudIS version needs a bit more maturing before it’s fully functional and less unstable for selfhosters, but the php version is fully functional and the native apps are awesome :).

    While AIO is neat on paper, it’s most of the time buggy and not as good as native tools. Having all your tools bind together is a bad idea in my opinion… Having a hammer that’s also a screwdriver, a scissor… Leave them less functional as having them separated !

    Yeah this takes more space and is less convenient, but the right tool for the right job is a principle that always works in the long term !







  • never issue a command not related to package management with sudo or an su’d shell without trying it as a user first, and if it doesn’t work as a user, stopping and thinking about why not and what you were trying to do in the first place.

    Thank you ! Because I was always using the root user for everything I also fucked-up my home directories, which really didn’t looked great ! I fixed everything right now (New user, new directory/file system, everything to the correct owner…) and will only add my specific user to the needed groups. I like that workflow, because having to sudo to everything with the root user really give me security concerns ! 👍
