  • Ad others have said, nextcloud won’t rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I’m still hesitant to recommend NC as it’s somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I’m willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to “well”. File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don’t get me started on Android).

    Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, … The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can’t play, in real-time, if needed.

    Edit: I realize I wasn’t clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.






  • Is it feasible that there interceptor systems saw they weren’t a threat from the trajectory and prioritized those that were? I mean the article states that they might have prioritized defending the city over the airbase, but I don’t know how much manual decision making is likely to be involved as I don’t know the flight/travel times. Or Maybe the defense system is has target areas pre-prioritized?

    I mean a hole in a runway is somewhat inconvenient, but overall an easy fix. A destroyed hangar less so (but also depends on what’s in it, if anything). Casualties in a city are a different category, obviously.


  • I’ve used windows since the 90s. Not once have I intentionally used WordPad.

    It did open by default for some file types for a long time (.doc), usually mangling the content cause it couldn’t actually handle them properly. I think it was also the default for .txt files at some point, causing many curse words when editing plain text files, that invisibly weren’t so plain any more after… Programs expecting a configuration fine really don’t like that sort of thing.

    So: I’m very ok with this. Just install LibreOffice or something if you needa Word-like experience. Install notepad++ for anything “plain”.


  • Scroll down a bit in this article. There’s a list of what each of the available keys are required to provide. A “key” in this context is basically a notch in a certain location, which then defines the meaning of the various pins of the connector. Some devices have multiple keys, as some of the specifications have a common subset. Like key A+E is common, because E provides almost everything that A does, so a device that only requires the common interfaces can work in both. Cars that rely on one of the exclusive interfaces will have the specific key of course. This A+E communication is often used for WiFi cards.

    Sockets always only have one key though, for obvious reasons.

    Edit: correction/clarification
