  • Its in several more kernels than that.

    That patch was backported into known (and probably more): v5.10.202, v5.15.140, v6.1.64

    ext4 data corruption in 6.1 stable tree (was Re: [PATCH 5.15 000/297] 5.15.140-rc1 review

    So I’ve got back to this and the failure is a subtle interaction between iomap code and ext4 code. In particular that fact that commit 936e114a245b6 (“iomap: update ki_pos a little later in iomap_dio_complete”) is not in stable causes that file position is not updated after direct IO write and thus we direct IO writes are ending in wrong locations effectively corrupting data. The subtle detail is that before this commit if ->end_io handler returns non-zero value (which the new ext4 ->end_io handler does), file pos doesn’t get updated, after this commit it doesn’t get updated only if the return value is < 0.

    The commit got merged in 6.5-rc1 so all stable kernels that have 91562895f803 (“ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO”) before 6.5 are corrupting data - I’ve noticed at least 6.1 is still carrying the problematic commit. Greg, please take out the commit from all stable kernels before 6.5 as soon as possible, we’ll figure out proper backport once user data are not being corrupted anymore. Thanks!

  • tbh nextcloud barebones is great. I don’t use it for a full system (as in cloud).

    I use it for notes (Joplin is the app on all devices/pc) NC is just its storage/distribution location. Same thing goes with bookmarks (Floccus is the addon, available to all devices/browsers). This is what makes it great.

    Next is that I have files / pics on NAS storage, but I can make “external shares” available via NC. So NC is still tiny, but I can see everything I want on my massive NAS.

    Using NC properly can be a super useful tool. But there are things to avoid, unless you have huge processor and storage. For example sharing photos. There are much better options than NC offering (Librephotos).

    I use LLLM on NC, (because I can) and its pretty good. more than enough for Q&A. It wouldn’t beat GPT3.5 but its on par. However you suddenly need 8+GB ram and 4-8 threads to be “responsive” to one user. Fun though!

    I do have docserver, fulltextsearch apps and then onlyoffice installed (as a separate VM) so I can actually edit office documents on the fly and its nice, but again I have offloaded it to another VM. so NC stays small and only has the “connector” to the onlyoffice VM.

    Its worth it to me for cross platform and pc/compute devices for the bookmarks and notes alone! everything else is just sugar on top!


  • I agree that many of these articles leave a lot to be desired.

    The key points are that Kiteworks (formally Accellion, Inc) is an American corporation. They are not into doing things for free, they charge like a wounded bull.

    DRACOON (also security conscious enterprise file exchange) and ownCloud mergers into Kiteworks. So what will happen in the future? Well immediately nothing, they will probably continue a ‘community’ version.

    I would think that things like MS integration might become paid only (if its not already) because companies need to make more money. Who knows, they might scrap it as open source too. ownCloud is now at the mercy of a corporate business.

    The optimist in me wants to believe ownCloud might get a boost in resources and become more secure as a result of its new management, but my optimism is always reminded of every other time open source has been taken over (eg: pfSense).

    The only other thing is DACH market, which is basically the German speaking market. Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its no surprise they are targeting that area really.

    I know this is not useful for most use cases, but if you login to the desktop on the ‘remote Wayland’, locally first then RD will work as expected. So if you can change the behaviour of the remote desktop to stay unlocked (IE its in a secure place where others cannot just access the device), then and RD will work with Wayland.

    I use NoMachine (since I manage all sorts of devices, and its nice that there is a client and server for everything including phones/arm) and it works for me because many of the machines are actually VM’s and I can keep the desktops unlocked and logged in. NoMachines solution for Wayland - is to disable it and use X11 !!

    But I wish many of the RD developers would just embrace Wayland and add/rewrite code to support it (If it is in their scope, I don’t know) It might not be, since I am aware of Waypipe and Pipewire, but I’d assume that RD devs would still need to include support for that.






  • She was one of my first 5* and she has been amazing. Whilst she has been seeing more second team work, in favour of the Rasin Shogun, I still like to play her in exploration.

    My Build (from a time when I had less invested in the game):

    Primordal Jade Cutter (R1)

    2x Gladiator Finale, 2x Thundering Fury

    Keqing C6 - 9,13,13 (I should just crown her, she has been good to me)

    HP: 25K

    ATK:2K

    EM:131

    CR:65%

    CD:184%

    Electro DMG Bonus: 61.6%

    Her Q dmg is quite insane!
