I also used talk (+turn server) for video calls but found i had to restart it often when no connection could be made, do you run into that?

E.g. thumbnail generation maybe 5x slower than Immich in my experience. Loading folders in apps (in particular large ones) is also slower than owncloud OCIS in my view. I guess if you run a powerful enough machine there will be no difference? I have tried on two different Odroid single boards

Now this could ofc. be different, if you can afford buying direct support from Nextcloud, but their publicly available options for selfhosting are so buggy and slow IMO that I speculate that it’s almost a net-negative influence on the self-hosted movement. They try to do too much and don’t look at their bug trackers.

Yea i read that, but isn’t this post about that not being an issue anymore?? // Edit: I mean in particular Patrick Breyer was been critical about the revised proposal, so him posting this now suggests that something new has happened?

What are the details about this? Not really apparent from the links

[–] wiegell@feddit.dk 5 points 1 month ago

I in the process of doing that, but the most problematic thing is the keyboard shortcuts IMO. All the apps have their own default shortcuts, all defaulting to ctrl + * instead of cmd + *

Cool, i never really understood/knew the reasons for the Nextcloud fork. When you say ‘we’, does it mean you are affiliated with opencloud? What would my reasons be to use opencloud over owncloud?

 

My Nextcloud instance broke again-again a month ago where the iOS app could not connect anymore… No helpful error code or message. I have never really been satisfied with their products, it always seemed slow and buggy and they have thousands of open issues on their repos. I used it for photos, online file storage/sharing and for messaging / video chat. I have now replaced it with Owncloud + Immich + Signal (not self hosted) and i’m very satisfied. Owncloud is just way snappier and no bugs so far. Docs are ok, though a little hard to search in and you constantly have to be aware, that the docs might only be relevant for their prior php-implementation. I followed this guide:

My naive hope is that local models or maybe workplace distributed clusters catch up and the cloud based bubble bursts. I am under the impression, that atm. a big difference as to whether a tool works well or not is more related to how well all the software around the actual llm is constructed. E.g. for discovery - being able to quickly ingest an internet url and access a web index is a big force of the cloud based providers atm. And for coding it has a lot to do with quickly searching and finding the relevant parts of the codebase and evaluate whether the llm has all the required information to correctly perform a task.

Mitchell Hashimoto writes a lot of Zig with AI (and this interview is almost a year old), see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnz7L6x068&t=490s How long since you have tried tools? I think there has been some pretty astounding progress during the last couple of months. Until recently i did not use it daily, but now I just cant ignore the efficiency boost it gives me. There are definitely security concerns, and at this point you should not trust code that you do not read/understand, but tbh. i'm starting to believe that AI might (at least in the short term) free up resources to patch stuff and implement security features, that otherwise was not prioritised before due to focus on feature development. What it does to the IT sector in the long run - who knows...

I have ordered a used x280 (only 8 gb ram), it was not at all that cheap though… i could probably have scored one way cheaper if i had a little more patience.

Very cool! This is what i was hoping to find - TY. Do you have it in your contract?

[–] wiegell@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

I would like to do it outside company time, but on their machine if possible, but if not, i’ll just get another machine. But as others have stated there are some small print that says something like - knowledge gained through company activities will be their IP, it’s somewhat vague and can be interpreted in different ways

 

I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

// EDIT: My contract is not totally strict, it refers to applicable laws and the wording is something like ‘knowledge gained through company activities belong to the company’, which is probably intentionally vague. Also: i like my job and employer and they are open to FOSS. My only concern is whether some higherups might disagree at a later point which is why i want to get the wording right. Will not spend money on a lawyer - it’s not that important to me. Thanks for sharing your experiences so far.

Some of their stuff seems very popular, but i’m always a little distrustful, when i can’t figure out the business model of some org. They list 10 people involved - how do they make money?

 

All recommendations are welcome. In particular how to vibrate a two part mold without it breaking apart. I did not weigh the mix and water, but i suspect i used too much water. Also added about 2% plasticizer.

 

I replaced this battery last fall, but it has drained over the winter. The auto-mower dock wont charge it. Is there any feasible way to charge it safely? Or is it dead at that voltage? It’s a Bosch Indego 400. Thanks in advance.

 

Glued acrylic plates together with Acrifix and fixed them to a retractable shelf for our trash. The plates are attached with two screws and silicone caulk.
