    I’ve had some trouble with NextCloud as well. For me it just feels sluggish and bloated.

    Someone in another thread here said “NextCloud can do everything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well” and that seems to mirror my experience with it for the most part.

    Of all the self-hosted containers I’ve set up NextCloud gave me the most trouble












  • Sleep as Android has this along with a ton of other wake up helpers like QRcode/NFC tag scanning to stop the alarm, math problems, etc.

    I found the math worked well at first but I apparently got too good at solving them in my sleep.

    I put an NFC tag in the bathroom which requires me to get out of bed and go into the bathroom to stop the alarm. That’s usually enough to get me to stay up

    They also have various CAPTCHA tests, one that requires you to hold your phone and spin around, one that requires you to put the phone up to a light source, and other such things. I’m sure you can find an effective solution that works for you

    That’s quite an understatement.

    It has:

    • a new SOC
    • a new Southbridge
    • 5A USB-PD
    • a dedicated fan connector
    • a dedicated uart connector
    • 2 dual purpose DSI/CSU connectors (you can now use two displays or two cameras instead of one of each)
    • A PCIE FPC ribbon connector like the one used for DSI/CSI (you don’t need a hat, just a ribbon) also the pi4 did not have any accessible PCIE lanes, only the cm4 did. Also the pi5 is capable of PCIE Gen3
    • More bandwidth for the usb3 connectors
    • more bandwidth for Wi-Fi (reports are it gets about double the bandwidth despite using the same Wi-Fi chip)
    • Fully SMD board, no through-hole components.

    There’s plenty of stuff I would have liked to see that didn’t make it, but there definitely a lot more to it than an RTC and a power button. For $60 this is not a bad SBC at all.

    I would have liked to see normal HDMI connectors, 2.5G Ethernet with PoE included, and higher RAM options.

    More PCIe lanes would have been nice too but probably unlikely given the price point



  • Kopia is my favorite by far!

    It’s super fast and has tons of great features including cutting-edge encryption and several compression options.

    It has a GUI and is cross-platform.

    It can do both cloud and local/network backups.

    That includes locally mounted disks, SFTP, rsync, or any network share/etc accessible from your machine as well as many cloud options.

    The de-duplication stuff is also killer. If you upload the same file (or chunk of data) in different folders or even from different systems it will map them to the same backup storage potentially saving you a ton of storage space.

    It also uses a rolling hash system so if you modify just a handful of megabytes from a 25GB file many times, only the megabytes of changes will need to be backed up to store the version history. You do not need to store 25GB every time you modify that file.

    There’s a ton of other goodies as well!

    And it’s all FOSS!

    I use it to backup to an external hard drive, a NAS, and to Amazon S3. You can configure multiple repositories like that and have them all run at the same time (subject to their individual scheduling policies of course)

    Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.

    When I ask you for the logs I don’t mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.

    Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.

    I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that’s not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function in a text editor to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.

    Please provide the entire log, this “helping” concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.
