Are there US open source projects?

Switch to jellyfin, it’s really at the point where it’s ready for everyone

Fully agree with this

Any dictator at some point can cause irreparable harm, this is something that should never be able to happen.

This is coming from a huge fan of Linus, he really is a hero to me

So what you’re saying is that gasp the Cheeto lied?

He would never!

Do you have any experience installing only office?

I’ve tried installing it many times over the past decade with only one successful attempt about a decade ago.

Every few years I try to install it again and fail

I’m trying to install it now but again, nothing. I’ve tried installing it using the official scripts which wreck the operating system. Dame for using the official debs.

So I tried using the docker version and that just doesn’t do anything at all. I try opening the page on the right port and it connects and disconnects immediately.

I’ve used only office and it’s awesome. However, nothing is as hard to install as onlyofffice

Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies

Having said that, just as a suggestion, take a look at KDE. It feels a bit more windows like, is extremely customizable and as such can be made to work exactly how you want it

Update in my previous message: so now I’m trying to install onlyoffice in a docker container on a server and I can’t even get http to work, less even https. A simple connect to port 80 just gives me connection refused, even though netstat shows docker proxy listening there, port 443 gives me connection opened that right away closes, doing nothing. Logs show nothing

This is the sort of WTF that I really don’t understand. Onlyoffice is really nice, why is the installation such a headache and fight after fight?

I’ve installed countless different services and programs in a myriad of different ways, and 99% of the time it’s a few commands and done. 0.9% of the time I have tondo some significant extra work to get it completely done (nextcloud is here, not that it’s hard but there are so many built in functionalities that you need to perform a number of extra steps) and then there is the 0.1% which is just a right nightmare for no good reason.

I have setup various dockers with little issue, onlyoffice just never works. WHY?

I would go for collabora if it wasn’t s shitshow itself when used in an office setting with dozens of users. Colabora is nice for a single user system, that’s it. I need perfect multi user document editing and onlyoffice offers this.

How do I set this crap up?

I’ll be sure not to pay them a dime, then, but the ope source version should be good enough to work with

Yeah, but collabora isn’t a great option by itself. Only office install is a freak show at best, but once it’s running it’s awesome

With Wayland finally exploding on the scene these past two years, I want to imagine the devs having worked on that. Many distros are already Wayland default and another 5 years and X will mostly be unsupported by most distros

We just recently started using zabbix. Open source and has a web interface to get a central view that can be accessed from wherever we allow it.

So far it’s been great but er have had little time and so far have used only 1% of what it can do

Still, I’d recommend it. Super easy to install, seems light weight, has clients for any os you’d need, can send out alerts (we currently use pushover for that)

Let me preface this rant with that I think only office is the best online web based solution, I loved what it could do 8 years ago and I assume it’s a lot better now.

I’m trying to setup nextcloud with only office, again. Nextcloud setup is a btrrze, only office always is and always has been a crime against humanity to setup correctly.

I’ve used only office successfully only once, some 8 years ago or so, in my own company. I’ve made some 10 attempts after that, over the various years, and I always failed. I have some 25 years of professional it experience and only office always eluded me.

Issues are either that I just can’t get it installed and running at all, or that it’s impossible to connect to next cloud.

Installing it with Deb files (or the installation script that does Deb files) is a very bad idea, that never works, the install crashes and usually leaves your server in a broken state, even after removing everything.

So now I am again trying to set it up using docker, so far with little result.

So having said all that: can you give some pointers on what you did to get it working?

webmin

Shudder

What would be a good open source option with these features?

Interesting

closed source

And I noped out right away, especially if it has to run on my servers

Break neck is the right word here.

SpaceX so far hasn’t been able to get beyond low earth orbit. The amount of unneeded exploded rockets us insane and they cheer, every time. When a new crew of astronauts blow up and die, the last they’ll hear is people applauding and cheering. It’s disgusting.

So musk claimed to get us on Mars in 2016 and today, 9 years later we have barely 1% of that goal met. Who do you believe any of the Elon lies?

That’s sick man! Get some help!

Nah, he is just a scammer with a lot of luck.

Je was fired for incompetence, for one.

However, if you start looking in what he has promised and what he really has done, a new pattern emerges: it’s all bullshit. He continuously makes fantastic claims that will be ready by tomorrow. It’ll all be done by tomorrow, really!

Tesla’s full self driving, is already here, claimed for 10 years and still isn’t even close. Tesla hasn’t made any new models in the past 10 years begpnd the cyber truck which is a horrendous laughably stupid thing, yet Tesla is still valued more than any other car company that make 10-100 times the amounts of cars that Tesla does.

SpaceX? We’ll be on Mars in 2020, 2021, 2022, etc… SpaceX still can’t get itself beyond low earth orbit and only managed to explode a banana over the Indian ocean. They’re literally 1% done of what they got billions of tax payer funding from. Meanwhile they cheer every time a rocket blows up because…fun? Ohh, how about the tickets sending people to the other side of the world in 39 minutes? Of course any high schooler could tell you 20 reasons why that’s bullshit but Elon fans lap it up.

Boring company? Would make tunnels 100 times cheaper than others, really, truly! Of course anyone can do that too if you don’t put in rails, emergency exits, space to escape in case of emergency, stations, etc.

Okay, how about star link? You know, those thousands of satellites that do the job of single satellites, and totally won’t cause the Kessler syndrome? Yeah, use thousands of satellites in orbits so low that you’ll have to replace them every 5 years costing billions. What does it get you? A slightly lower ping. This seems the most actual successful project to date that comes from him and it’s still a shit show

Hyperloop? The absolute bullshit show what got tens of Billions of investment and went nowhere ever because the idea is fundamentally flawed? Even universities jumped in because reasons, it stopped high speed rail development in the US because this would be so much better, and yeah… China has tens of thousands of kilometres of high speed rail now, and the US has… Nothing.

The robots? The spandex guy, FFS… Any “real” demo of his robots has been 20 years behind on Boston dynamics and even then they had to fake most of if with humans controlling those sad machines

Did I forget anything? Ooohh yeah, the solar roofs, where he cheated too. Lots of court cases about that one

Elon Musk is a scammer, that’s it

Awesome! Thanks so much to all the devs for the hard work!

Is there any work done on fixing multi monitor support issues?

I have two monitors, one 4k and one 1080p and well, let’s say it’s a challenge to work with.

When the computer is left alone and screen are off, I move the mouse. the sddm login comes up, typically one monitor first. I start typing my password and then halfway there, the next screen comes up and now gets focus so the latter part ofg password goes there. Suffice to say, that is very annoying and I need to wait until both monitors are on

Then Im back in and all my full screen windows on the 4k monitor are now 1080p size. Okay, no problem, a simple drag to the top should spring those back to 4k size, but when I do that, the window just jumps to the 1080p monitor.

You were gone for so long, at least 5 minutes! Where were you?
