Have you benchmark the disk locally directly on the proxmox host? Need to figure out if this is an IO limitation, CPU limitation, or something else.

phonetrack seems to be hard to replace

Have a look at Traccar for a replacement.

In my experience file browser is much nicer than nextcloud, but I don't currently run either since I don't need a web based file manager. I have SFTPGo providing WebDAV for my phone to use, and Syncthing to keep my laptop, desktop, and server in sync.

I've always been curious why this isn't enabled by default on Firefox on Linux, do you know why that's the case?

Because it's a file sync program, not backup. There's a huge difference between the two.

Backups are a snapshot of your files at a specific point in time, generally backups will be done incrementally and then compressed and deduplicated, so multiple versions of a file don't take up massive amounts of space. Once a backup is taken it isn't modified again, so you can just roll back to a point in time and restore your files exactly as they were.

Plus, Nextcloud has had at least one bug in the past that corrupted all the files stored in it, so if you didn't have a real actual backup in place you were completely screwed because all the versions were corrupted too.

Nextcloud isn't a backup solution, so I wouldn't go that route.

For backups look at Restic, Kopia, or Borg. They work great and are very lightweight.

Syncthing has been much more reliable for me. It syncs extremely fast, picks up changes nearly instantly, and just works so well I never really even think about it.

Nextcloud has caused outright data loss once for me (all of my data was corrupted by nextcloud and then synced to my devices, had to completely recover from a backup), and broken due to updates several other times. It's overall very slow, and a pain to maintain through updates.

what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network…

Syncthing will handle duplicates by renaming the older copy, and also has modes for versioning and deleted file recovery that you can enable and customized how you want to.

Wait, isn't a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?

Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.

I'm all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.

If we're talking about Backblaze B2, downloads are free for 3x your average stored amount of data IIRC, so most recoveries would be free.

For some reason devs can't wrap their head around cache being temporary.

OS makes no difference.

I wouldn't recommend the ER-X, it's absurdly slow. Also far too many config items don't exist in the webui and are CLI only.
