Please wait...
I've said for over ten years it's a cruel joke to call anything "portable" with a battery life of less than 24 hours.
TRS-80 Model 100, bitches. In the snow, uphill, both ways.
And I still love my Osborne I - sitting in a box in the garage. I hope to have space in the near future so I can unpack it.
It was an awesome machine, for the times.
Wrote a database for it in BASIC. I didn't realize that was kind of a big deal... I was just asked to do this thing, and I did it.
A Nextcloud instance of mine has started going slower for no apparent reason. Since it is not a production instance I have nuked the webapp and the databases and reinstalled it all, and the problem persists. Which is strange, because I have other applications running on the same stacks that work perfectly.

Hm. I didn't know about Nextcloud. Looks interesting. But annoying,
if it dies on its own.
It didn't die on its own. The DNS resolution at that LAN turned to have crapped out, which made the application less responsive because it makes so many connections to third parties.
The REALLY annoying thing is that the logs were not showing that.
Nextcloud is a bit of a bloatware, but it works well if you need to coordinate a group of computer illiterates. Also great for sharing files via links or emails since the web interface has the means to do that automatically. You can set email and calendar and contacts and extra plugins, but we have Citadel for that :)

Does look interesting.
I've been using OwnCloud...similar concept, no email/messaging/video/audio chat that I'm aware of. I'm using it as for file/calendar/contacts.
Mon Oct 28 2019 09:35:39 EDT from IGnatius T FoobarIt looks like NextCloud is a fork of OwnCloud.
Yup...forked 3 1/2 years ago, from what I'm reading.
I may look at migrating.
Fri Nov 15 2019 09:34:40 EST from IGnatius T FoobarIs the original owncloud stale at this point and people are all moving to nextcloud?
Nope...I'm currently running ownCloud 10.2.1.4 from RPM. The latest stable version from Owncloud, itself, is 10.3, so I'm not far off.
It does appear, though, that NextCloud has more features built in than does ownCloud, so that, possibly, fewer plugins would be needed.
My only issue, at the moment, is trying to determine whether or not I can do a drop-in replacement of ownCloud, or if I'm going to have to install it, separately, and try to migrate over.

To be honest, it feel a lot like what happened with the OpenOffice -> LibreOffice split. I have not looked at any stats but my gut feeling is that NextCloud is getting more development.
I think the original OwnCloud developer is working at NextCloud at this point.
I don't think there is a reason to migrate from OwnCloud unless you absolutelly need it, and OwnCloud is prety much still well supported. But the OpenBSD ports team dropped OwnCloud when NextCloud was merged in their ports tree. That should tell you something.
In another tread I said I ordered from Amazon because I could not find the product from anywhere else. When I ordered it said "Will arrive on June 2nd".... it is arriving today. I am thrilled it is arriving early, I don't like the discrepancy.
Last year just before Thanksgiving my mother's computer decided to stop working. Monday of Thanksgiving week I ordered a new computer for her the estimated delivery date was December 4th which was perfect, the family is traveling for Thanksgiving, the computer would arrive the following the holiday. I didn't expect too much Thanksgiving week. I am 600 miles away and I get a notice saying my computer will arrive on Friday after Thanksgiving no signature required. I called FedEx to put a hold, a "pick up at FedEx" or pick up at Walgreens option. FedEx said that only Dell can make changes to the delivery. It took me forever to get through Dell's nightmare phone trees only to speak twice to someone in India who transferred me to FedEx.
No one at Dell could figure out what the problem was or how to solve it. I think I had a 'they are not there because of the holiday' answer. (WTF!)
Hey I am glad both items arrived early but people make other plans when they have a set date.

I take a lot of care when ordering online. I try to buy only from sellers that use reputable delivery agencies AND I know those agencies don't mess up with deliveries in my area.
