You could also upload directly to the filesystem and then run occ files:scan, or if the storage is mounted as external it just works.
Another method is to set your machines /etc/hosts (or equivalent) to the local IP of the instance (if the device is only on lan you can keep it, otherwise remove it after the large transfer).
Now your rounter should not send traffic to itself away, just loop it internally so it never has to go over your isps connection - so running over lan only helps if your switch is faster than your router..
1. Did you open back port request with these basic patches? If you have orders of magnitude speed improvements it would be aswesome to share!
2. You definitively don't need an entire sysadmin team to run nextcloud, in my work (large organisation) there's three instances running (for different parts/purposes of which only one is run by more than one person, and I run myself both my personal instance and for a nonprofit with ~100 persons, it's really not much work after setup (and other systems are plenty of a lot more complicated systems to set up, trust me)
1. There was no point, having thought about it a bit; a lot of the patches (in essence it was at most a handful) revolved around disabling features which in turn could never have been upstreamed. An example was, as mentioned elsewhere in this comment section, the abysmal performance of the thumbnail gen feature, it never cached right, it never worked right and even when it did it would absolutely kill listings of larger folders of media - this was basically hacked out and partially replaced with much simpler gen on images alone, suddenly the file manager worked again for clients.
2. Guess that's debatable, or maybe even skill dependent (mea culpa), and also largely a question of how comfortable one is with systems that cannot be reasoned about cleanly (similar to TFA I just could not stand the bloat, it made me feel more than mildly unwell working with it). Eventually it was GDPR reqs that drove us towards the big G across multiple domains.
On another note it strikes me how the attempts at re-gen'ing folder listings online really is Sisyphus work, there should be a clean way to enfold multiuser/access-tokens into the filesystems of phones/PCs/etc. The closest pseudo example at the moment I guess is classic Google Drive but of course it would need gating and security on the OS side of things that works to a standard across multiple ecosystems (Apple, MS, Android, iPhone, Linux etc.) ... yeeeeah, better keep polishing that HTML ball of spaghetti I guess ;)
There is also "memories for nextcloud" which basically matches immich in feature set (was ahead until last month), nextcloud+memories make a very strong replacement for gdrive or dropbox
Yeah I guess my issue is that if I can't trust the mobile app not to lose my photos (or stop syncing, or not sync everything), then I just can't use it at all. There is no point in having Nextcloud AND iCloud just because I don't trust Nextcloud :D.
Unfortunately Apple puts extremely strict restrictions on background tasks so you will never have something as seamless as native iCloud or the amazing Android FolderSync app that I used for realtime synchronization for several years without a single issue.
I know people work around these iOS limitations by setting up springboard widgets that piggyback on background refresh tasks to do uploads. People also create Automator actions (e.g. run every day at time or location based) in the Shortcuts app.
At the very least their app store, which is pretty much required for OIDC, most 2FA methods, and some other features, stops working at 500 users. AFAIK you can still manually install addons, it's just the integration that's gone, though I'm not 100% sure. Same with their notification push service (which is apparently closed source?[0]), which wouldn't be as much of an issue if there were proper docs on how to stand up your own instance of that.
IIRC they also display a banner on the login screen to all users advertising the enterprise license, and start emailing enterprise ads to all admin users.
Their "fair use policy"[1] also includes some "and more" wording.
This may come as a surprise to you, but there are organizations, for example German municipalities, that have more than 500 users but can't afford to start pumping tens or hundreds of thousands per year into a file sharing service. Nextcloud themselves recognize this and offer 95%+ discounts to edu, similar to what Adobe, Microsoft, and Git[Hub,Lab] are doing.
I use my yubikey on both my android and linux (tumbleweed) with exclusively firefox, I have not found something that does not work.. Maybe you mean non-hardware passkeys built into the os? But one could just use keepassxc or like bitwarden, those work in Firefox and Linux as well
2. It is possible, and you better believe it. They haven’t updated it, because there is no need for it.
Signal is simply not interested in your messages. It’s also not interested in your metadata, because it’s not an ad platform or a SIGINT front masquerading as a free messaging service.
If all this sounds hard to believe, you should donate.
There is Nextcloud which is not only eu-based but open source as well. You choose what parts you run but it competes with most of workspace and office 365 (everything but the arguably obscure stuff*). I use all three (g-workspace, office 365 and nextcloud) and I strongly prefer nextcloud excluding my private preference of open source - even more so from an administrative perspective (fuck the workspace admin pages, they causes me so much trouble)
*except email-server which although easy to add on trough stalwart or external email provider is technically not part of the nextcloud ecosystem (webmail is however)
I don't know what you're smoking if you prefer Nextcloud over Google Workspace from an admin point of view, but hey, good for you.
But no, Nextcloud is not comparable to Google Workspace. Not as a user (their office web implementation is spotty at best, constantly crashes and disconnects; their calendar, meeting and chat apps are barebones; the clients regularly corrupt files or have issues syncing, etc.), and definitely not as an administrator: You have to constantly deal with manually updating the instance, re-enabling "incompatible" apps for some reason, deal with the updater taking 4 hours to download the zip file because their servers are overloaded again, updating the database server or PHP version because it will soon no longer be supported, etc. How is that better than having to navigate the Google Workspace admin interface every few months?
Not zero indexing is misleading if you are comparing discrete things like GPU performance, not in the case of plotting a timeline graph. Their published stats could be seen as misleading if they only displayed a short and/or a specific timeline (excluding the latest data for example).
I was surprised by the amount of dislike of passkeys in this thread until I realised I had misunderstood what passkeys refer to.
I thought it was the same as security keys, which are like digital, but still physical, keys. They are awesome, one just has to have two and you are set. Passkeys tied to a cloud service or device like a smartphone are a terrible alternative (comparatively), from privacy and security (as in not get locked out) standpoints. At least they use fido2 so pushing for passkeys add support for security keys at the same time..
