StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Programming@programming.dev•What non-IDE tekst editor do you use?English31·2 years agoAs often as not, I’m using nano on the command line. It’s available in Windows through WSL.
Being honest, WSL makes running Windows so much easier.
StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensiveEnglish82·2 years agoI’m not a fan of their MacOS based products, but I prefer iOS for the fact that I can rely on getting timely updates. For a good long while. That is not something that is generally true with Android. I’m fine with paying for that level of support.
Last time I looked, no Android vendors provided close to the same level of support.
That said, if I was a business and needed to field in house apps to mobile devices, everyone would be getting an Android device. Custom apps for iOS are a pain in the ass.

StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•just to be sure, when setting up nextcould i need to purchase a domain name?English6·2 years agoDepending on what you are trying to do, not necessarily. NextCloud itself doesn’t really care, as far as I know, as long as it’s address doesn’t change. AIO on the other hand is setup in such a way that it needs a resolvable domain name and a valid certificate for https.
This could be done by spinning up your own certificate authority and dns server, but that is a lot of extra work and would be local network access only.
Another way would be to use a free domain and a free certificate from let’s encrypt. The downside here is that the domain authority could yank your domain at any time, for any reason (as happened to all of the free .ml domains recently). At which point your certificate would also stop working resulting in a situation where you may have to nuke and pave.
If you want to be local access only, I would pick an install path other than AIO. If you want to be able to access NextCloud remotely, purchase a domain name.
A VPN, such as TailScale would be considered local network in this situation.

Every single page I went to was gaudy as hell and took forever to load on my dial up connection at the time. I’m a little surprised they’re still around. And damn, it looks a lot different!

StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you find relevant technical information online?English10·2 years agoI used to start with searching Reddit, though that has been of less help lately. Wikipedia is helpful for getting a baseline if I have no clue about a subject. Lately ChatGPT has been helpful there as well.
And then of course, all search engines still accept boolean searches but you kinda need to 1) know the syntax the engine uses and 2) have a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Sorry, no Google documentation was relevant.

StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?English2·2 years agoNot too hard. Just alot of unfamiliar vocabulary. 😄 If you run into any questions with either of our walk throughs, (my linux one or @lemming934@lemmy.sdf.org 's Powershell one), feel free to DM me. Don’t mind helping folks starting their exploration of computers. We all started somewhere.
StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?English2·2 years agoNice! I knew someone would know how to do this in PowerShell!
StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?English1·2 years agoJust search for tutorials based on the key words from my post and you’ll get there.
I am sorry for the RTFM post though. Been a rough day and haven’t been able to get near a computer to do a better write up for you.
StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.astaluk.icuto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?English4·2 years agoIf you don’t have an experience using the command line then it’s a tad more involved then I can explain in-depth on mobile. Best I can do is give a brief outline.
To start with, wescode/lemmy_migrate is a python 3 script. If you are running windows install WSL (Ubuntu), once you have a command line I am familiar with you will want to download the repository from GitHub to a directory.
You will then need to create a config file called
migrate.conf
Use the sample provided in the repo under configuration. Edit it to use your information. You can use nano as a text editor.Then it looks like the command would be something like:
python lemmy_migrate -c ./migrate.conf
Sorry if that is crap help, but I’m not near my computer right now, and don’t often use Windows anymore to boot.
PS:
WSL is a program from Microsoft that gives you a mostly functional Linux command line within Windows. None of this is as complicated as it sounds, I’m using more words then strictly necessary to explain things somewhat at beginner level. The most time consuming part of this would be first installing WSL and then installing Ubuntu onto WSL. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do so.
Hopefully someone more familiar with Windows can tell you how to do the same thing from either the DOS prompt or from Windows PowerShell. It’s doable, (almost anything is) I’m just not familiar enough with either to walk you through it.
I currently use Jellyfin to stream my music collection. It’s all stored on my NAS and I can give access to whomever I like. Downside is that the iOS music client, FinAmp, is… not pretty. It’s functional, but not great. I understand the player situation to be a bit better on the Android side.
