Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn't have any concept of users since it's not designed for that.
You want Nextcloud or similar 'google drive' replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.
Self hosting personal photos doesn't generally require opening anything up to the internet, so most backdoors would not be accessible by anyone but you.
With federation between different Matrix servers, what’s the holdup? Why aren’t people leaving Discord?
Poor usability, confusing to get started on, your instance may just vanish at some point, annoying encryption system you have to verify new devices on, feels slow on both browser and in app, lack of features (ie; no low latency game streaming, rich presence, easily joinable voice rooms).
It also shares the same issue as Mastodon, where if your instance vanishes you can't just log in with your account on another one and have everything ready to go, because the account is tied specifically to that original instance.
Overall as a fairly techy type user I still find Matrix, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc all pretty frustrating to use.
A lot of live images will run entirely from RAM, flash drives are typically quit slow so it makes the experience much nicer.
Wait, isn't a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?
Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.
I'm all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.
How are both Firefox and Chrome "High" for spying, when Firefox basically only sends diagnostic telemetry by default.
Half of this site is bitching about browsers checking for updates to the browser, addons, and block lists. How is it supposed to function if it doesn't do that?
First, we have it connecting to Mozilla's location services, who then obviously learn your location.
Why 'obviously'? How is connecting to that URL any different from another URL? A webserver gets your IP and rough location either way.
ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?
Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.
Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.
It's sounds like it could be an IO wait issue, system load will climb a ton without showing much CPU usage.
Make sure you're not running out of RAM and going into swap space, it doesn't sound like it though.
iotop might show something useful. And in htop you can add the 'PERCENT_IO_DELAY" column which can be useful.
IMO GUIs are always faster when it's something you've never used before, or use very infrequently.
CLI is better if you're used to the task you're doing, or automating things. But for infrequent tasks looking up the commands (or looking at old notes to find it) is very slow and rather annoying.
I feel like that's gotta be pretty normal for hyped up product launches, a lot of people just join to see what it is at first.
IMO backups on the same provider aren't really backups. Good that they had some at a different one.
