Discussion forum for the readers.

There is no reason not to use Syncthing besides KDEConnect has features other than sharing files that might come in handy.

Syncthing is a much better tool for a hands-off approach once set up so sure, why not?

The Windows version used to be shit. That’s no longer a problem. That’s about the only negative I remember. Otherwise you can have it doing a lot of work between devices or only sending when you feel like it. I force stop it on my phone and then invoke through share when needed.

I brought up Syncthing as it will function the same way, in a more hands off way (by choice if you want, automagically or forced) if you needed to share files/folders between devices. Not only for passwords.

Local file sharing:

I use KDEConnect on all my devices (Windows, Linux, GrapheneOS, Work Galaxy Tab) and it works just fine. Never needed to try anything else.

Syncthing as well for keepass files.

Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.

The OSTree layering option worked for me, well… I can get it to run once I turn off the ovpn I still have sitting in Fedora’s network settings. @j0rge@lemmy.ml’s comment I fumbled around with and I’ll wait to see if it updates.

Most of my time is spent in Linux Mint but if I ever have to reinstall, I’ll switch over to a ublue flavour.

Commenting from a laypersons’ perspective for new users, with my minor Linux experience and an inability to remember commands, don’t be frightened in giving it a go. If I can do it, anyone can. I run Fedora Kinoite on a second harddrive, use the BIOS Boot Menu to boot in, and then “rebased” to the UBlue Kinoite image using the provided commands once I read about it.

Almost everything is on Flatpak so I don’t even notice a difference with much. I had trouble layering the Mullvad VPN app (originally just using ovpn profiles) and I’m not sure I did it right in relation to updating but it seems to work.

Basically, I don’t understand much about it but it’s a completely usable operating system from my perspective.

Thanks for the write-up. It was helpful in increasing some knowledge.

Australian version:

It’s not fixed unfortunately. We are on 0.19.1 and having issues.

The fix is to regularly restart which clears the federation queue.

Me be like:

Beaver. Always beaver.

Australia is mostly degraded, channelised shallow creeks and erosion problems. Bam, beaver does all the work for us.

Can beavers survive in the subtropics?

A Pixel (with long security updates) because GrapheneOS is the operating system to use.

It’s limiting but that’s the way it is.

It’s a mining company.

Looks like Aussie.Zone has the most mentions of koalas.

The Aussie Environment and Australia communities are probably the best placed to get started on koalas. I wouldn’t suggest making a new community yet until you need to, there are a lot of unused ones due to the lack of users. Koalas suit the theme of !environment@aussie.zone (how do I know? I posted all the posts there).

Yep, I’m where I am, subscribed to zero communities but I can check out what’s happening nationally using Local. If the instance got massive, that would change but it’s fine as it is.

I guess the science instances, the art instances, the solarpunk instance, or even porn instances etc use Local heavily.

Austria? Well, then. G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!

Unless you pick an instance where the local feed is important to you. It can go either way.

The dream would be that I could sort them into a feedreader and select articles out but that won’t happen. Nor would I want a bot doing it either.

Unfortunately, no one else posts so for the meantime, I just have to keep going or let it die.
