  • +1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.

    Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

    For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p



  • Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.

    The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.

    The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.

    So it’s not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.

    Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.




  • Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.

    That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.

    Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a “wrong” password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. “y” and “z” are “swapped”.


  • Just partly related, and probably no help here - but about the fact, that you can’t type in that password (regardless whether you can remember it or not):

    you probably use a bluetooth keyboard on that surface? Before boot is finished, bluetooth connection is not possible, so you need some sort of USB/serial keyboard to even type.

    Had this issue when full disk encrypting a surface, because without usb (or the original serial) keyboard your stuck in the luks mount process during boot…







  • I see lots of sidekicks against Manjaro, it’s a thing apparently :D I am using manjaro on a framework 16 for about a year now and it never broke anything, just works wonderful for me, although I dont have any fancy requirements other than a working Linux.

    But i would be interested in the critics about the team and their “bad” decisions, as stated in some comments. What were the problems?
