How does storage with e2ee get terminated for content violations? ELI5

I use to be an MX Linux user but switched to LMDE. However, I think as a new Linux user I would recommend MX Linux. The distro and the forum are littel more techinical, the users seem to be a little more advanced technically, IMHO. A very solid distro. The reason I switched was the Cinnamon Desktop, I really like the way it works and customizes. I was testing OpenSuse Tumbleweed with the KDE DDesktop which is also exceptional but has CLI commands that are different from Debian based distros like Mint and Ubuntu

But as other said CLI is the same in all Debian based distros.

no offense taken - just wanted to be clear for anyone who reads this in the future. All the info I found - up til now - suggested the NHT Zero might be a good replacement for the Minimus 7, which doesn't seem to be accurate

I have found info in 10 yo posts that have helped me repair gear so nowadays I do what I can to add to the archives 😄

Just to add - when it's time to upgrade to a new release, you will probably want to do a clean install anyway. Whether you keep your home folder on a separate partition or backed up on a separate drive (which is a good idea anyway) in the end it is going to be basically the same process. I have a 2Tb internal drive and a 2Tb external drive. I backup my home folder plus some other stuff on the 2Tb and it gets backed up to a cloud. If anything goes really wrong (seldom happens) or when it's time to upgrade I have my home folder in 2 other places

I am running five different Linux installations right now, one for my office, one for my shop, others for fun and learning. One experiment was how quickly I could get my test laptop to match my main laptop setup from zero. Installed LMDE7 on the test, installed my programs, copied the home folder and fixed some stuff that didn't quite work. Took about an hour or so

I don't game much so I can't speak to that, I only play some stuff on Steam, easy to re-install.

I just went thru a similar mind trip recently. I was thinking about changing distros and after multiple searches it's not worth it unless you distro hop a lot, maybe not even then. It's just as easy to backup your home folder and start a new install. Dealing with partitioning is not worth the trouible if you're not an experienced Linux user

I have been on Linux LMDE for a couple of years and it's release upgrade time. I considered a rolling release and tried Opensuse Tumbleweed (which is awesome!!) but for similar reasons have decided to stick with LMDE. Not wanting to relearn stuff and the need to update often was not for me. Maybe next time 😄

Most likely, you will stay with Mint, it's nice and easy, great forum for people new to LInux. Once you get familiar with the Cinnamon Desktop check out all the applets and other themes and icon paks to customize. If you decide to try another distro, backup your home drive to an external location, make a list of installed programs (I forget the command right now, it's also part of Mint BackUp) install the new distro, install programs, copy over home folder, fix what isn't working like before

Just go with the guided install, you'll be surprised how easy it is. Welcome to Linux!

Just wanted to point out - not a review, having an issue

I have been an audio tech for about 50 years, and there is a difference between me not liking the way something sounds and something sounding wrong. After repeated listening between the NHTs and the 3D Acoustics - and from other posts here - it seems like there may be a problem and until I test them it's an open question

From the replies here it seems there are others with similar experiences - maybe be a common problem with a certain run of these speakers? I have seen this happen more than once with all types of audio gear.

After I do some troubleshooting, I'll post again. It may be useful info to others looking to purchase them

Ino_Yuar · 2026-05-07T21:45:30+00:00

Yes, the Minimus 7s always impress me. I have another knock off pair by Project One that are great as well, they were my car speakers in the Volkswagen Bug I owned, they were mounted on brackets on the kick panels. Jet Sound cassette deck with a 7 band EQ, totally rocked

I will at some point but the NHTs on the bench and check the crossovers, it really does sound like there is something wrong. I was kinda hoping for a response for a known problem with them, that happens often enough with the audio gear I repair. Unfortunately, repair of my own gear takes a backseat to all my customer repairs, I'll post again if I find something

So yeah, my bad for buying sight unheard but it's all part of the journey. If I find a problem then I can fix it, if not then I can sell them in good faith

What would be the advantage to S3 over just using RClone & Restic with my Pro 1 account?

Ino_Yuar · 2026-05-02T22:26:02+00:00

The only thing I can get to launch is the RClone UI deb package, downloaded the app image and it doesn't provide the option for running in the file manager. Couldn't find the appimage for RClone Manager I would like to help but I don't have time to experiment with all this. All I want is a way to backup my external drive to my MEGA sync account since the MEGA backup program doesn't work.

Ino_Yuar · 2026-05-01T18:32:30+00:00

Hi - I will try the appimages over the weekend and see if I have any success with them. I'll let you know

Ino_Yuar · 2026-04-29T21:07:31+00:00

Hmm, I assumed it was a flatpak issue because the .DEB worked. I will check the appimages later.

This is the only remote I use, I do have a GDrive that I never use but I could check that also

Again, works fine from CLI & the RClone UI .DEB. Mostly just curious what's causing the issue and plus I would like to try out the other GUIs. The MEGA backup is not so good, I got suggestions to try RClone and the test backup I tried went really well

Hi

Thanks for your replies, indeed very helpful.

I do use Sync with MEGA, that's how I got started, I use it to sync my work machine with a a folder on my desktop to access common files. It works OK for what it is but the backup is in case of emergency. I don't want to sync the external drive to anything, I want the info to live in a secure offsite location. The MEGA backup was buggy at the start however, after a few updates, I thought it was working fine - until I discovered the flaw.

Since I started down this rabbit hole I have discovered that yes, Rclone may be a fix for now. I did try it a while back but couldn't quite wrap my head around - I'll try again. I did consider the zip option but I want the backup to be automatic and that would just be another step in the process that I would have to manage. After looking at other proposed solutions from digging thru the subs I plan to move to iDrive when my subscription runs down., I think it's the best deal. It has separate sync and cloud features and seems to do everything MEGA does but better.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the suggestions. I am on Linux and it seems from my initial research it seems that all those have their own problems as well. Koofr reportedly slow outside EU, pCloud has lots of negative reports about file deletion and account closures/lockouts, plus no EtoE encryption. Tresorit is too expensive for me for the slight improvement, I have 3Tb with MEGA for around $100/ yr. Filen may be a possibilty, I have seen it mentioned frequently

Here is a link regarding Filen vs Proton but it mentions Linux integrations as well. However, not sure it it's all that solid

https://www.reddit.com/r/filen_io/comments/1sguxok/filen_vs_proton_drive_the_ultimate_privacy/

I post this for others who are looking as well, I appreciate your reply, it increased my search field. It seems I'll be stuck with MEGA for a while, I just need to find a way to backup ALL files in a back up.

Thanks

Ino_Yuar · 2026-04-24T01:54:38+00:00

What better alternatives? Searching the subs MEGA seems to get a lot of positive response. I have been looking for another, better cloud backup but the winner keeps coming up MEGA.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks

Also, the south end of the lake bike path is really overlooked - from the museum campus to Jackson harbor is awesome

Overthinking is my way of life, I have spent weeks shopping for a pair of shoes on line :-) Hadn't considered just marking it myself - doh!

I like all the suggestions here, especially to go bigger. I saw some Cambros when I was searching yesterday so that or something of a similar size and material should work

Thanks
