I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page
OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i’ve been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.
Suicide linux. Nobody can run it for more than a day
Edit: i just searched “suicide linux” to see if it still exists and one of the top results was ian murdock’s wiki page, :(
Probably not what you want to hear, but I think exiftool + bash script really is the way to go. A few years ago I had a similar need and searched for hours online… I ended up hacking together a “good enough” bash script that reads all the dates of my pictures and does some stuff. It took 30 mins of reading some basic bash scripting basics. Way less time than searching for a tool that probably doesnt exist.
In 2024, you can probably just ask chatgpt to write a quick and dirty bash script for you and it might require another 10mins of debugging/begging chatgpt to fix its mistakes
Newer versions of apt now have coloured text showing what will be installed (green) and what will be REMOVED (red)
Handy feature for someone like me who also makes mistakes
This isnt freeware.
“Free” in free software is free like free speech, not free as in beer.
This is one of the places where english fails. Libre vs gratis
This is not an OS behaviour. KDE is a desktop environment.
If it bothers you so much, remove the DE and use the command line, full time
I have to use windoze for my work laptop…
15% cpu constantly being used by bullshit telemetry processes. Gigs of RAM also being eaten up by bullshit processes and “try copilot!!” popups every time i accidently make the wrong gesture on the touchpad.
My 9 year old laptop with only 8GB RAM running debian is blazing fast in comparison.
Most likely x11 vs wayland
Sorry, i dont have all the links available, but the root cause of the problem is apparently with the amdgpu driver
Kscreen was supposed to implement some kind of workaround, but i lost track of how that was going.
I’ve had this problem for years. I contributed to one of the existing bug reports for kscreen on this.
If i dont login to kde (sddm login screen), the screens will shut off normally… But once i login, the problem starts. So i concluded the problem is with kscreen2. I even tested by killijg kscreen2 and the problem goes away
I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.
I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!
For me, no…
I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop
Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…
The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…
But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)
Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian
You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet
If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing
Sane move by maintainer, but he should not go around calling other people’s code crap unless there is proof that the code was actually crap with gaping security hole
To be fair, it looks like the debian maintainer started the unfriendly discourse by calling the work of other FOSS devs “crap”
Everyone needs to chill out, otherwise we have another potential XZ social engineering attack
It would be catastrophic for something like keepass to have a malicious maintainer take over
Debian sid user here, and long time keepassxc user
Debian maintainer didnt communicate this well, but i agree that i dont want my password manager having any access to networking or interacting with anything other than the clipboard.
I’m not a developer or a security expert. This is just my gut feeling talking
Exactly… People hanging on to windows for dear life pretending like they had to “learn” windows
