I like Subsonic. The interface is a bit dated but it supports multiple users and has excellent android apps.

This is a good approach. I’ve always found it beneficial to learn “the standard things” than relying on a customized setup.
I’ve seen some people absolutely lost when they login to a system without 500 custom aliases on it…
I do. Anyone else when asked simply says “oops, sorry, done”. You pitch a fit and act like it’s a civil rights violation.
What a moron.
It’s not censorship. 🙄
The android nextcloud client works great if you’re willing to setup/maintain a nextcloud server.
IP was invented in the '70s. Sometimes older protocols that work are just fine.
I picked up a second hand monitor from a goodwill shop for like $7USD. It would be worth having a display of some sort for troubleshooting.
Thanks! Updated.
Quick pros/cons from what I’ve read (correct me if I’m wrong - I’ve not used syncthing myself):
syncthing

Nextcloud

Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.
Umn. It allows the application to do its own synchronization and diff resolution. It’s why they recommend it.
Directory synchronization is a “best effort” to copy files back and forth without considering the application’s needs. Copying database files while they’re being written can be problematic for example.
Both Nextcloud and syncthing will synchronize a folder. And it will probably work if you aren’t making lots of changes on both systems. But there is increased risk.
Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong?
Yes - absolutely. “I’ve been lucky so far” and recommending against what the product you’re using says you should do is TERRIBLE advice.
The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).
Why are you getting defensive towards syncthing? It seems fine. It’s the wrong tool for what you’re using it for.
What does this mean?
it’s not just a copy. It syncs the folder.
It’s remarkable to me that you recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.
The zotero docs recommend against synchronizing by just copying a folder as it can lead to corruption.
They recommend using webdav which nextcloud supports but syncthing doesn’t.
So your workflow is definitely possible with nextcloud and is the preferred option.
BeOS or haiku?
I have a dual 603 BeBox I haven’t fired up in a while…
RedHat.
Not Fedora. Not RHEL. Back when it was just RedHat Linux.
Works fine, though it’s not an “iso” file. But it doesn’t matter what extension you use.
I used to do this to switch an old laptop between Windows and Linux. I’d backup one, overwrite with the other. Swap as necessary.
Things installed by apt almost always work as expected and are easily run from the cli.
Flatpaks are sometimes more up to date.
Do you not remember geocities?
BitTorrent would likely increase latency, not lower it. The bit torrent protocol is very inefficient for small files and large numbers of files (https://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent - see “Problems”).
But I think your question is more “why not use p2p to download files” for which I think the answer is likely “because they don’t need to.” It would add complication and overhead to maintain. An FTP/HTTP server is pretty simple to setup / maintain and the tools already exist to maintain them. You can use round-robin DNS to gain some redundancy and a bit of load spread without much effort either.
I think it’s experimental for mac. It’s called “virtual filesystem” if you want to Google it.
The original iPod had an HDD in it. You can rotate HDDs. Sharp impacts may be risky though, especially for a non-laptop drive.
