Some months ago, I had UTD issues with Element X too. My hs has been up for some years, and the devs claimed they had done a lot to fix UTDs.

I was about to bring the server down, but as a last resort decided to log out all but one Element web session which was able to decrypt the messages and try resetting the key backup. Haven't had any UTD issues since then.

Maybe worth a try.

I've used one called CIFS Documents Provider in the past, worked very well.

It adds SMB/CIFS as a storage provider like Google Drive or Nextcloud to the Android built in file manager.

Available only from Play Store, AFAIK. And I think I was still on Android 14 last I used it.

If something like Ansible is too much, you could list the packages as a bash array in a file

pkgs=(
vim
bash-completion
...
)

Source the file

source pkgs.txt

Then install them

dnf install ${pkgs[@]}

This expands to dnf install vim bash-completion ...

As for listing the installed packages,

dnf repoquery --userinstalled --queryformat '%{name}\n'

The list includes all packages not installed as dependencies, so it's not quite perfect but might be close enough to what you need.

The array expansion workaround should work for other package managers too, as long as they take the list of packages as whitespace-separated arguments.

I'm not sure if this is of any help, but I had the same issue with Wake on LAN enabled. This was a while ago with an Asus motherboard.

If you don't need WoL, disable it and it should fix it if your MB is affected.

But if you do need WoL, look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN.

The section 5.2.2 Fix by kernel quirks was what fixed it for me.

FlorisBoard with the Material theme.

Tried many, but FlorisBoard's bugs bug me the least, not that there are many. The one feature I wanted was password manager autofill bar, FlorisBoard worked the best at the time and has been solid since. Material theme is nice too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't DDG browser also based on Chromium?

Hey, the web version looks really sleek. Feels close to what I'd like Voyager to look like, which is great.

I'd like to help, but can I send the email to you on Matrix? Another firstname.lastname case for the G account.

Another vote for Aurora.

Universal Blue in general has been really solid, I remember one time in the last year or two when there's been any need for manual intervention. And that came with a notification after boot, with a link to instructions that were all copy-pastable as-is to the terminal.

My biased opinion is that most people run Nextcloud on an underpowered platform, and/or they install and enable every possible addon. Many also skip some important configurations.

If you run NC on a bit more powerful machine, like a used USFF PC, with a good link to it, the experience is better than e.g. OneDrive.

Another thing is, people say "Nextcloud does too much", but a default installation really doesn't do much more than files. If you add every imaginable app, sure it slows down and gets buggy. Disable everything you don't need, and the experience gets much better. You can disable even the built-in Photos app if you don't need it.

Not saying NC is a speed daemon, but it really is OK. The desktop and mobile clients don't get enough love, that's true.

I'm talking about the "bare metal" installation or the community Apache/FPM container images. AIO seems to be a hot mess, and does just about everything a container shouldn't be doing, but that's just my opinion.

Borgbackup in addition to git. Since there's probably not much data, any cheap VPS could act as storage.

 

My take on simple self-hosted Nextcloud community image, with PostgreSQL and Redis. Managed as a single pod using Podman + Quadlet.

Keep at it! The learning curve is not a straight line, just like with any skill. You'll see fast progress, just to be followed by a long plateau of no progress or even feel you're getting worse. And then you notice possibly big improvement again. And again.

Don't worry about following sheets/chords initially. If chords are not in your muscle memory, you're basically doing three complex tasks simultaneously, reading, figuring out chords and fingering chords. I'd try to memorize one or two simple pieces first, to get the chords under your belt. Start simple and stay patient, it'll take time.

Don't forget the rhythm. Play on top of recordings. You can be pretty liberal with the harmonics, but if you keep a steady beat it'll probably still sound good.

There's occasionally something buggy, but the last time I ran Windows there were a lot of bugs too. They're just abstracted away, which Linux DEs don't do at all.

For me, it's about choosing the bugs that bug me less. If Windows is working better for you, just run Windows. Internet points are not worth much.
