    Sadly I have to disagree. If I have an issue on Windows, I just can never find an answer because every result on my search is the microsoft forums, which of course never has any solutions that work.

    On the other hand, specifically for arch, the arch forums always have the answer for me because there are actual smart people on there.

    A side note, windows and their products always have terrible documentation, which can add to the frustration at times.

    Sadly most people grow up using and are tought Windows from the first time they touch a computer so its quirks and workarounds of bugs are engrained in the users mind.

    Uprooting their entire (current) knowlegebase is inconvenient… but it’s still for the greater good of their privacy and in my opinion effectiveness of whatever they do.




  • Thanks for your reply, I will definitely keep that in mind if Seafile fails to meet any critera moving on, but yeah your last point is also right, it would probably be a big pain to migrate out at this point with all my data for multiple users here.

    It seems a lot has been modernising recently, I didn’t know they were also using Go, but hopefully they continue with it for new code.




  • NextCloud being so slow forced me to migrate to Seafile.

    Seafile being less one-stop-shoppy made me not use it so much, but whenever I do it is always fast and responsive (unlike nextcloud, where 80% of the time I was looking at the loading indicator). Looking it up now though, it looks like it has a lot of new features I haven’t yet tried so I’m probably gonna start using it more now.

    Only downside with Seafile is it’s deduplication (for me), because it stops me from easily accessing files directly (always gotta use a client). Likely a benefit for most though and I do rarely need to access a file directly on disk, just when I do, it’d be an easy shortcut for whatever I’m doing.


  • Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don’t use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

    Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

    Usually nothing happens because ISPs don’t care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don’t want to punish their customers because then they’ll lose revenue by cutting you off.

    (The ignoring part is heresay, i’m just combining info i’ve heard over the years and experience)

    Some (most?) countries it’s not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).








  • I’m not sure about the specific AI apps you mention, but from my personal experience the “AMD works way better than Nvidia on Linux” mindset is no longer a thing.

    When I upgraded to a new gpu a few years ago, I first got an AMD gpu because of that mindset that was all over the internet (I believed them), but for the life of me I couldn’t get games to run properly with it. A week later I traded it for an Nvidia card and it just works.

    I do suffer from system wake from sleep issues that I think are the nvidia drivers fault, but atleast I can play games if I decide to.
