    ZFS is fantastic and it can indeed restore files that have been encrypted as long as you have an earlier snapshot.

    However, it would not have helped in this scenario. In fact, it might have actually made recovery efforts much more difficult.

    It could have helped by automatically sending incremental snapshots to a secondary drive, which you could then have restored the original drive from. However, this would have required the foresight to set that up in the first place. This process also would not have been quick; you would need to copy all of the data back just like any other complete drive restoration.






  • They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That’s why they keep making the interface worse.

    It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

    It’s also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

    The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.















  • I was about to ask why this is better than the docker installation, but I see step one is to install docker haha.

    I’ve been running the docker container for a long time, it works very well. It is a bit more complicated if you try and use extensions that require seperatw containers (like setting up collabora), but that can be done as well. It’s just more complicated.

    I do remember needing to know how to access the internal terminal a few times, but I don’t remember why. If I think of it I’ll come back and add instructions.

    Edit: It’s to be able to run occ commands:

    Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ “Command goes here”

    Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan --all
