You can pay for dreamhost, namecheap or any other shared hosting plan that provides WebDAV. Some provide unlimited storage. I am not sure how realy unlimited it is.

Buy domain and host empty website. Turn on ssl using hosting tools. Dreamhost provides you with free certificate for that. Namecheap charges after 1st year.

Create directory on the website using hosting tools and turn on webdav on that directory. It can be password protected. Turn on password protection and disable public access using hosting tools.

That will give you a disk that can be mounted on Windows, Linux or mac without additional software. On iOS you will need an app like OwlFiles. You will have access to it From home or coffee shop. Anywhere. It will act as your remote storage and you can access it using Explorer or Finder. Most tools will read content of remote disk without any restrictions.

Create another directory and leave public access to have public sharing directory only you can change (keep passwords).

Create another directory or use one of your private subdirectory with application Joplin and you get free and open source notes and todo system. That system can encrypt all your notes with master password. I recommend it: https://joplinapp.org

The might be other apps…

Can you drop a link? It is best if it is Arch linux link. Thanks.

That’s right. I should have been clearer.

It is not easy when your kids want to play Roblox with friends and Roblox only runs Windows.

Yes, I could have tried proton, but I don’t want to deal with issues. I tried running windows only games on linux. The user experience is far from ideal. More frequent crashes, other issues.

These days kid’s download free games they want. I could not have that on Linux.

Linux all the way.

Windows is only on kid’s computers. Because they need roblox and generally games run better on windows.

You are best served by NixOS.

Normally Arch or Debian is a great option, but not this time.

Gnome web is not usable. It crashes.

8 years of fortification is lost in less than a month.

Who needs to cope now?

There’s nothing but bad news for Ukraine on this direction.

All these downvotes mean nothing in face of truth after time has passed.

The bridge is free, but underlying software is paid service subscription.

Hi, can someone point me to a good resource where I can ask for DIY solution of home speaker.

I need home speakers that can play music and messages from home machine.

Target music is something like jellyfin, messaging is not decided.

Goal is to have a speaker per room like Apple speaker, but controllable from Linux.

My personal Mac laptop lost connection from video card to board. It is a well known issue in older models.

That was the last Mac I bought. I didn’t see a reason to drop $3k when I could get something as good for half the price.

But I risked if Linux would run on hardware…

Yes and no.

Yes, one can buy at least mouse.

No, when I take laptop I don’t want to carry 2 additional devices. Extra keyboard for laptop is a ton of extra space, which makes if harder to use laptop on smaller desk.

Laptop no longer can be used on my lap. The core use case is broken. Thus, it is not the hardware I want to use.

By the way, I have no issues like that on Asus laptop that was much cheaper to buy. To be fair it has its own set of issues, but those don’t bother me as much.

I use Linux for home and Mac for work. My Mac is older Intel based with software bar for F keys. If in the past 10 years ago I was into Mac and owned one… I no longer see the reason for Mac.

Hardware choices are not a selling point

Context bar makes it harder to use for programming. It is not a sell for me.

Mouse pad frequently jumps cursor.

Keyboard feedback is cheap.

Software is not impressive either

Usability wise Gnome is better than OS X for me. No ctrl key on right side is terrible.

Due to Windows subsystem for Linux v2 I am starting to think Windows is better for Linux development than Mac.

MAC M1, M2 laptops have good battery life going for them.

They should make hardware people want to buy.

Hardware that’s worth the price.

Lately they failed on both counts and failed 1st means never had a chance at 2nd.

Ukraine called all men and all draftable women to show up at military draft tracking locations.

That’s my loose translation.

Reason: allegedly to improve tracking of people.

My opinion: to replenish losses after disastrous summer counteroffensive.

Time magazine

Ukraine Is in Worse Shape than You Think

https://time.com/6176748/ukraine-war-economy/

I could find non-English reports that personnel in some military units have been changed completely several times in Ukraine.

Some western leaders stated loss numbers far exceeding official Ukrainian losses.

Would you believe any data I quote?

So, there is no point for me to waste my time.

The downvote numbers clearly indicate the desire to hide this information.

Have your facts in check.

New York Times:

After Suffering Heavy Losses, Ukrainians Paused to Rethink Strategy Early in the counteroffensive, Ukraine lost as much as 20 percent of its weapons and armor. The rate dropped as the campaign slowed and commanders shifted tactics.

I just want to see control scheme.

I got what i was looking for.

It is good to know, but it will only work until MSFT decides to enforce things.

Linux is s better alternative to have no ads.
