As a #2 person, when my level-of-current-knowledge hits a ceiling and I ask for technical advice in forums or lemmy or even social media, it often comes from a #1 person.
Assuming its specialized knowledge few other #2 have.
Half the time I get an answer (about what and how) AND background explanation (giving context and WHY).
But half the other time a #1 doesnt realize easy things for them are hard for me. When they are miles ahead their answer assumes I have a host of other skills already in place. But I dont know what I don't know so I dont ask for them.
But ... every answer from a helpfull stranger is appreciated. Just bridging knowledge is hard.
Is "choosing which files and folders" an upfront configuration thing, or does it happen "on the fly" when opening a file?
It's a type of integration with local file handling:
- you see every folder and file in explorer / finder.
- they are just filenames but without the data
- they act normal and can be copy pasted renamed etc
- the moment a file is opened the first time, the data gets synced locally.
I use it to connect to rather large folders (bigger then my SSD) because it only takes up space of the files in use.
I deleted my comments seeing the ending side note about NC.
Does the MacOS NC app do files-on-demand?

Or I think "Virtual Files" in Apple nomenclature.
In combination with NC just about stable: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/discussions/6267
If you mean the same as "Files in Demand" (by filestream) afaik your sync client needs to support it but ... on an OS that has it.
Like on my Win11 work laptop both my Office365 as my NextCloud storage has it.
So I can hookup a 1 TB cloud storage and document libraries on my 256 GB SSD.
If MacOS has it I think you can use NextCloud as well maybe?
Not until now, thnx, will investigate!
Sailforms Android app!

Use like 12 years for keeping track of lots of personal stuff. It's a generic database / table / forms app that's very powerfull. Buttons, queries, reports, calculated fields etc.
But: the app developer stopped despite a rather enthusiastic community. Now it isn't even on the Play Store anymore and I guess everybody must have an exit strategy.
Am I the only one getting The Core vibes ... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298814/
For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).
Was wondering....
If I would invest $10 a month .... How many computing power I could get ... For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server ... And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?
Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?
Just curious what the numbers would be?
On Sunday, May 5th, I received an email from a person claiming to have access to a massive leak of API documentation from inside Google’s Search division.
I didnt need even more motivation to degoogle but got it anyway.
I wont say its color pallet is my cup of tea, but I find this intriguing nonetheless, well done.

Agree, also I never encountered other software so flexible in user interface. Every feature can be placed with panels everywhere to your own liking. The whole app interface is like a canvas. Took me a while to get the hang of it but after that ...
Wished other apps were this flexible.
If you wouldnt mind getting rid of Google search entirely ... settings, search, select Google, remove. I assume there is nothing to pin after that?
Like Felt? https://felt.com/ Not free or anything and although OSM based I dont think their geo-stack is "open".
One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can "free space", meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.
Download DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials voor Firefox. Privacy vereenvoudigd. Bescherm je gegevens wanneer je online informatie zoekt en browset met trackerblocking, slimmere versleuteling, privé zoeken en browsen, en meer.
My questions are:
- Does the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension "Privacy Essentials" add a local css file to every visited site?
- Can others reproduce this?
- Is this harmfull or not?
Background:
I have a simple static one page site with just one html and css file. It's completely tracker free. Debugging it a bit with developer mode (F12) on I discovered a second css file. This file isnt on my webserver but added local. To pinpoint what caused this I removed every add-on / extension in my browser one by one, reloading and checking my website every time. Took me a while because didnt expect this one causing it.
To reproduce:
- Install the extension from the link.
- Open a random site
- Check in developer mode the tab Style editor.
- Scroll and look for a file named %3Ais(%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%.css or something like that.
- Remove the extension and refresh.
- Check if the file disappears.
Content of the css file: :is([id*='google_ads_iframe'], [id*='taboola-'], .taboolaHeight, .taboola-placeholder, #credential_picker_container, #credentials-picker-container, #credential_picker_iframe, [id*='google-one-tap-iframe'], #google-one-tap-popup-container, .google-one-tap-modal-div, #amp_floatingAdDiv, #ez-content-blocker-container) { display:none!important; min-height:0!important; height:0!important; }
Edit 25-03-2024: Changed title to not give the wrong impression. See comments below.
My main question is about /run/user/1000:
- Should I avoid touching it?
- Could I delete it?
- Is there something wrong with it?
Background: I'm fairly new to Linux and just getting used to it.
I use fsearch to quickly find files (because my filenaming convention helps me to get nearly everything in mere seconds). Yesterday I decided to let it index from root and lower instead of just my home folder.
Then I got a lot of duplicate files. For example in subfolders relating to my mp3 player I even discovered my whole NextCloud 'drive' is there again: /run/user/1000/doc/by-app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/51b78f5c/N
Searching: Looking for answers I read these, but couldnt make sense of it.
- https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162900/what-is-this-folder-run-user-1000
- https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=412850 So if its a bug with flatpaks I'm inclined to delete a certain db at ~/.local/share/flatpak/db
Puzzled:
- Is this folder some RAM drive so my disk doesnt show anything strange? Because this folder doesnt even show up at the root level.
- Are these even real? Because the size of it (aprox 370 GB) is even bigger then my disksize (screenshot).
Any tips about course of (in)action appreciated.
Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.
