I agree, but the question wasn’t about the percentage of cases, but about the possible reason to choice Ubuntu over Debian…

Yeah.

Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑

No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.

Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.

But it’s radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.

Hard to tell.

Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these…

Support & community come to mind.

To a typical user/newcomer to servers it’s easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves… 😑

Yeah. It’s good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.

I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

Get a life, eejits.

If there’s a rest button somewhere there, use it.

Also, check whether it gets proper amount of power - that the electrical plug fits in, doesn’t mean the charger is enough to power it up.

If it fails, then I guess it’s time to replace the hardware.

I see nothing on the video, so can’t comment on that, but could you test the switch by connecting a router to the 1st port and a notebook to every other port one by one, to check whether the devices talk to each other?

I assume that the router acts as DHCP server, and the notebook is set to DHCP address lease, so no additional configuration is needed…

It often takes a different pair of eyes to see the hidden potential. 😎

I have tried the paint and gimp routes,

😱

Man, MS WORD features block diagrams, full of shapes that might be connected to one another with adjustable lines and it will be far superior tool to either of these abominations…

There are also countless tools that might help you, that are either dedicated to this task, or simply useful enough to get the job done.

With each “gate” between the devices, the performance, security and stability suffers additional setbacks and limitations. In your case, you introduced a few new “gates”:

• the connection between NAS, router and your PC (Wifi/cable)
• router
• network stability

Of course it’s theory, since the actual performance depends on details, he amount and type of data, how you access it and what you’re doing with/to it.

Have you tried electron-based Biscuit or Hamsket?

There are plenty of alternatives like Station, Franz etc…

Too bad.

Was he fined 10 times the car was worth and forbidden from driving anything more complicated than a lawnmower for a decade?

I perceive both QNAP and Synology as massively flawed tech, that can’t be relied upon. Too many occurrences of both going haywire for no good reason, crashing, destroying HDDs and so on and so forth.

For home appliance, I’d rather buy an old i3/i5 rig, upgrade it a little, put some storage space on it and rely on a scheduled batch script to send critical folders/files from all connected devices to it, than buy this overpriced and overhyped piece of crap.
