I second this.

Freetube still seems to work . . .

For those who don't use Google services, but still need voice navigation, just wanted to mention RH Voice, which is available on F-Droid. Has worked well for me so far when using Organic Maps.

Hi @stewie410@programming.dev & @leetnewb@beehaw.org, thanks for taking the time to write such detailed responses (and stewie410, you did not in any way come across as condescending, so no worries there). As I try to wrap my head around this, could you explain the difference between the "rclone rc" and "rclone rcd" commands? I've read through the documentation, but am still left scratching my head.

All three of those links are very outdated - I do not recommend trying to use any of them.

Yeah, they did look a bit suspect. Bookmarks deleted!

Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do exactly?

Thanks, I was hoping someone would ask, although I have been trying to "RTFM" and figure it out on my own 🙂. I've already installed the lastest .deb—basically I would like to use RClone to continuously sync the home folder on my laptop to Proton Drive (after having RClone autostart) in more or less the same way that I use Syncthing to sync a few important folders from my laptop to my phone. The setup with RClone I envision would be a one-way sync from my laptop to Proton Drive. In the absence of a Proton Drive client for Linux, can RClone be set up to do any of these things? And does RClone/PD support versioning?

Yeah, I know, "RTFM." I did, but am still kind of confused. A "remote" presumably means a remote folder/share/whatever in the cloud, in this case on Proton Drive, yes? If I want to set Rclone to automaticlly sync, say, my home folder to Proton Drive, Rclone has to run as a service on startup for this to work. They say

Start as a service: To always run rclone in background, relevant for mount commands etc, you can use systemd to set up rclone as a system or user service. Running as a system service ensures that it is run at startup even if the user it is running as has no active session. Running rclone as a user service ensures that it only starts after the configured user has logged into the system.

But I don't know how to do that . . . I've found a few, I guess, "scripts" for this online but each one is a bit different. Unfortunately, just because I'm a Linux person doesn't mean that I know what I'm doing . . .

EDIT: After some further research, I found a couple scripts, but since each one is a bit different, I'm not sure which one to choose or how to write one that best suits my needs . . . would be kind of nice if Rclone would include this somewhere in their documentation; so far I haven't found anything.

EDIT EDIT: I would say that this is fairly complicated for the average user, but my research continues . . .

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Can anyone attest to this, this, or this?

Rclone seems like a good bet; however I'm a bit confused as to how to get started. Would one of you kind souls be good enough to guide me through some of the process? I've installed the latest .deb, and if I want to (eventually) sync my home folder to Proton Drive, then rclone needs to run at startup in the background, yes? What is the command for this? It's not just rclone, it has to be rclone rc or rcd . . . ? Or pehaps I need to set up Proton Drive to receive my files first?

No worries 🙂

If I wanted to use it to real-time sync my home folder, this wouldn't work with just the browser though, right?

I tried setting this up on my QNAP and almost pulled out all my spines (because I'm a hedgehog 🦔) in the process. This was quite a while ago, so I don't remember exactly what the issue(s) were, but I do remember spending quite a bit of time on this without being able to get it to work. The fault may lie with the QNAP.

I use syncthing to sync from my laptop to phone 👍

I've used this for sharing large files and liked it, but I don't think it's open source . . .

🙂👍

I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs

Wish I was smart enough to know what that is 🙄

@Kwakigra@beehaw.org, @Gaywallet@beehaw.org, & @h3mlocke@lemm.ee: I probably wouldn't have found this if it weren't for Arts & Letters Daily, which I highly recommend, if you haven't already heard of it. It's definitely more humanities oriented, but over the years they've posted a lot of interesting stuff that I probably would never have read otherwise.

Although a poll of ~1600 people does seem like kind of a small sample size . . .

Hi @MooMix@beehaw.org, I spent quite a bit of time looking for this album after you posted it, and couldn't find anywhere to buy it (not on 7Digital, Bandcamp, or Qobuz), and so, well, I got it from this kind of sketchy-looking Russian site, downloaded track by track (each scanned and found clean by VirusTotal), 192kbps mp3, so quality not great, but I guess that's all there is!

The album brings back memories of this girl I had the hots for in college who played this in her dorm room all the time, but that's another story . . . 🙄

Can't stop listening to it!

🎇 Forgot how much fun this was! 🎇

Real number! Maybe should have tried fake one, but I've given up on them at this point.
