  • They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That’s why they keep making the interface worse.

    It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

    It’s also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

    The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.











  • I was about to ask why this is better than the docker installation, but I see step one is to install docker haha.

    I’ve been running the docker container for a long time, it works very well. It is a bit more complicated if you try and use extensions that require seperatw containers (like setting up collabora), but that can be done as well. It’s just more complicated.

    I do remember needing to know how to access the internal terminal a few times, but I don’t remember why. If I think of it I’ll come back and add instructions.

    Edit: It’s to be able to run occ commands:

    Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ “Command goes here”

    Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan --all


  • I’m not sure if this is helpful to you or not, because it’s not what you asked. I just don’t mount them on boot though.

    I have a script that requires a unique password that decrypts everything that I actually care about. If that hasn’t been run, then the server starts emailing me every 15 minutes until I do.

    The server is not setup to reboot unless I manually tell it to or there is a power outage, so logging in to run the script has never really been an issue. At most, I’ve had to SSH in from my phone maybe a handful of times.




  • I mean… Yea. Yea it is. They want to:

    1. Fill the thing with ads
    2. Control the entire user experience
    3. Track everything you do in that experience
    4. Prevent users from accessing any low level system changes
    5. Fill the thing with ads

    They’re not even being subtle about it:

    “The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
