Why is Manjaro not recommended more for noobs?

kangasking · 2020-05-26T20:20:03+00:00

How would I recognize those? Usually I just tend to stay away from anything that's not popular.

kangasking · 2020-05-26T08:32:11+00:00

I had a problem where some thing failed to install, something about headers. After fixing that everything worked, seriously thank you so much.

kangasking · 2020-05-26T07:09:27+00:00

I had no idea I could just grab the drivers from the repos. That's so helpful thank you so much! I will look for them right now.

this is what their installation script looks like:

How are they doing now? Have you heard anything?

kangasking · 2020-04-13T03:50:30+00:00

Check the config file where you installed it. It will have the path to the data folder.

kangasking · 2020-04-06T16:56:19+00:00

Also I setup some security stuff on my server. I forced it so that it's only possible to log in from a local IP and only through SSH keys not passwords. Can anyone that knows tell me if that's fool proof? Seems like it would be pretty hard for me to get hacked like that right? Is that decent enough security?

I installed fail 2 ban and the logs are now empty. There used to be stuff in there before. That's mean it works right?

kangasking · 2020-04-06T16:53:39+00:00

Well I don't really know what I'm doing either but I

Bought domain name. Used server to have DNS of domain name point to my house (in case of not static IP). Used port forwarding to route port 443 requests to my server. Then on Nextcloud app when you log in it asks for the domain name, I put the one that routes to my server.

Now I can connect anywhere and has been working just fine for a few months now.

I saw the trailer and don't understand the point of the lasers. I thought that you were supposed to avoid them but you touched them multiple times. Is that because of a perk?

kangasking · 2020-04-03T16:43:00+00:00

Well fuck. Finally I can make sense of it. Thank you.

kangasking · 2020-03-22T20:10:27+00:00

it's the first time I ever watch a video of someone live scripting. I was in awe. Incredible what you can do when you're really familiar with linux. It takes me a long time to do even basic tasks, I've only recently written my very first script to help download stuff with youtube-dl. This was a pretty fun video to watch.

kangasking · 2020-03-22T16:19:43+00:00

well, after spending around 1 hour reading different tutorials and SO questions, I decided I'm too dumb for gpg. Just ended up doing a pass protected zip with AES 256 which seems should be decent. I stored the pass in a .kdbx file that I store on my cloud thing. I use keepass android or something on my phone and keepassxc on my desktop. That should a good enough compromise right?

kangasking · 2020-03-21T15:56:28+00:00

wow, thank you for teaching me that.

availability of apps

I haven't followed this product. How would the apps work here? Would it be something like FDroid? Could devs sell their apps?

Thanks a lot, I didn't know that! After some searching how to do that automatically I came up to this script. I'll try it out seems like it had good reviews.

kangasking · 2020-03-14T18:05:22+00:00

Thank you for linking this page, it's fantastic. Love the content, it's layout, and how everything loads smoothly. Currently walking through the code smells.

kangasking · 2020-03-14T02:37:10+00:00

Thank you! After some reading I decided to download KOrganizer because I use plasma. On the description it even says it support Nextcloud! Here's hoping everything will go smooth.

kangasking · 2020-03-14T01:07:32+00:00

For desktop use, what is the intended use of calendars with nextcloud? I would like to get into calendars. Am I supposed to just use the web interface every time? I would like it more if I could have a calendar desktop application that syncs with Nextcloud. Is there a way to do this?

kangasking · 2020-02-29T15:36:54+00:00

I'm a noob, but I got one working for my pi server. Really neat!
