It has always worked fine for me. The occasional upgrade process is manual but literally just a command.

Opensuse’s freaking rolling release just works. This stuff is very mature. It is just different and that scares people.

Came to say this. It works well for displacing things, not lubrication.

I’ve checked, its true. Linux plus Firefox already puts you in the 2 percent category.

This breaks all kinds of stuff though. A ton of sites use Google for captchas.

Port Authority is a good one too, I think. Need to check that it is still maintained.

Opensuse has one too. And dd exists for the brave or the foolish

You’re describing the world wide web, except giving others write access

OK 80 GB is for sure an edge case. Nextcloud won’t even work for that due to PHP memory limits, I think.

Interesting problem. FTP is an option, with careful instructions to an untutored user. Maybe rsync over a VPN connection if it is always the same sender.

Not even sure what else would reliably work, except Tannenbaum’s Adage.

Just trying to rake some of thst Google cash

Just looking through the features, things like their own VPN.

Lot of reinventing the wheel going on there. I will be interested to see how it matures.

Sending is someone else’s problem. They have all sorts of different understandings and tools and I can’t deal with them all. So the only alternative is to set them up with an account in (e.g.) Nexcloud or just accept whatever Google service they use to send you a large file.

Sending other people files is easy in Nextcloud, just create a shared link and unshare when done. Set a password on the file itself.

Got any links for howtos on this?

I dealt with a lot of time sinks like this running on consumer hardware. I got a Dell R720 and those problems all went away. Now I have a power and cooling problem. :D

Interested in this too - immich gets so much viral hype I’m a little suspicious of it

That’s such a nice feeling

I run it on BSD and just use the pkg and never have any trouble. Clients are all in the Tumbleweed repos so are the latest which I think helps. Update, run occ update and it always works fine.

Was about to say, Connect is the earth

Fsil2ban piped to pfblocker works great. Plus snort
