I just assumed it was the US

Classic American on the internet moment

Irfanview https://www.irfanview.com/

It’s literally one of the only reasons I’m still using Windows.

No other image viewer is as fast and as useful.

Lots of risk for no financial gain, they should have taken something worth money at least.

If you’re that addicted to Reddit just stay there. I hate this “please beg me to stay” crap that goes on pretty frequently.

Irfanview, MYOB, and a lack of virtual file system in Nextcloud.

I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone’s so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.

There’s half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.

Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.

Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.

I was there for the premiere… Season 1, Episode 1… I laughed because they referenced funny nerd things! It’s a sitcom that I’ll get inside jokes on! Oh boy this is going to be amazing!

By episode 3 I realised it was not going to be amazing. By episode 6 I was out.

I have no idea how many sessions they are up to now but if I happen to stumble upon it I legitimately can’t work out what’s meant to be funny. If there was no laugh track you wouldn’t even know jokes are happening.

Australians are not happy with BYDs, even after only 2 years.

I’m Australian with a BYD and I still like ours.

I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.

I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).

It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.

Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.

Because I’d rather be right than win. Nice to be both, but the former is a higher priority for me.

I never had any success using Nextcloud with any type of cloud storage. It was always slow as molasses, even by normal Nextcloud standards.

I just bought a JBOD and store the data myself locally, with a remote backup instead.

I believe it is cheaper long term this way, though with energy costs on the up and up that may not always be the case. Does mean I have super fast access to the content when I want it though.

I’ve got 30x4TB disks, just because second hand enterprise gear is so cheap. I’ll slowly replace the 4TB SAS with larger capacity SATA to make use of the spin down functionality of unraid. I don’t need the extra speed of SAS and I wouldn’t mind saving a few watt-hours.

(I’m just shy of 500tb and my server holds 38 disks.)

That means every one of your disks is >13TB? That’s expensive!

We did a trip to the US that covered coast to coast by plane and then 5000k of driving back to the centre… And their pretend pricing sucked.

Every state we went to advertised a price, but what you actually paid varied by heaps.

Bought some clothes that were something like $700USD by the tag, and had $1000USD on hand… Which wasn’t enough once they rang it up! Wtf?

I love healthchecks. It’s so simple and easy to incorporate in to… anything much?

So the rail networks are operated by private companies? I am not familiar with the various acronyms, but that would certainly explain the complexity… Everyone wanting their slice of the pie.

It certainly looks complicated:

Transport services are provided by over 40 companies. These include the Bayerische Oberlandbahn, the Deutsche Bahn that also operates the S-Bahn, the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft that operates the U-Bahn, tramway and city buses, together with multiple operators of regional trains and buses.

We (Queensland, Australia) have 50 cent fares at the minute - any public transport, no matter the distance / zone / etc is a flate rate of $0.50AUD. I assume any private interests are being compensated with tax dollars but at least it makes public transport simple and affordable.

There was recently a change from a Labor government (centrist?) to a Liberal government (right / conservative) so I suspect the 50c fares will be removed at some point, though they did make it permanent as part of an election promise. “Permanent” is a pretty flexible term from a politician though.

I am not educated in public transport logistics, but why do they make ticket prices so obnoxiously difficult?

It’s seemingly a worldwide issue so there just be a reason.

… Which I assume is “money”.

I’m sure Android (well, Samsung anyway) had this years ago… I remember it on my i7500 back in the 1.5 days.

I wonder when it went missing…

I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

(EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.

I’ve got 512GB of RAM in my server, and 128GB of RAM on my desktop cause you can never have too much.
