This is a good approach. I’ve always found it beneficial to learn “the standard things” than relying on a customized setup.
I’ve seen some people absolutely lost when they login to a system without 500 custom aliases on it…

I do. Anyone else when asked simply says “oops, sorry, done”. You pitch a fit and act like it’s a civil rights violation.
What a moron.
It’s not censorship. 🙄
Looking forward to his gop nomination.
I love UUID keys. Only drawback is they can be a bit difficult to share, but they solve so many other problems. Being able to generate them client-side makes batch inserting with dependencies easier, being globally unique means you can copy data between environments, never needing to “fix” a sequence again… So many up-sides.
I’ve found good work with both. Java has been “dying” for decades according to people who have an irrational dislike for the language. I’m yet to see any evidence for it. The ecosystem of libraries there is huge and well maintained.
Frankly I’d learn both as well as Python and maybe rust and go. Once you become proficient in any language it’s easier to learn others. So start with Java if that calls to you but branch out as well.
OMG, are zines coming back?
Love it BTW…
The android nextcloud client works great if you’re willing to setup/maintain a nextcloud server.
IP was invented in the '70s. Sometimes older protocols that work are just fine.
I picked up a second hand monitor from a goodwill shop for like $7USD. It would be worth having a display of some sort for troubleshooting.
Thanks! Updated.
Quick pros/cons from what I’ve read (correct me if I’m wrong - I’ve not used syncthing myself):
syncthing

Nextcloud

Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.
Umn. It allows the application to do its own synchronization and diff resolution. It’s why they recommend it.
Directory synchronization is a “best effort” to copy files back and forth without considering the application’s needs. Copying database files while they’re being written can be problematic for example.
Both Nextcloud and syncthing will synchronize a folder. And it will probably work if you aren’t making lots of changes on both systems. But there is increased risk.
Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong?
Yes - absolutely. “I’ve been lucky so far” and recommending against what the product you’re using says you should do is TERRIBLE advice.
The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).
Why are you getting defensive towards syncthing? It seems fine. It’s the wrong tool for what you’re using it for.
What does this mean?
it’s not just a copy. It syncs the folder.
It’s remarkable to me that you recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.
The zotero docs recommend against synchronizing by just copying a folder as it can lead to corruption.
They recommend using webdav which nextcloud supports but syncthing doesn’t.
So your workflow is definitely possible with nextcloud and is the preferred option.
JavaFX was removed from the main Java spec in Java 11. Even the Oracle Java distribution. It’s a separate project now and is pretty easy to include as as jar if needed. In fact there are non-Oracle builds of the JVM that do add it (there are Zulu builds that put it back in). Because Java is now GPL. Anyone can create a build and include what they want.
OpenJDK is the reference implementation now. Biggest differences I’ve seen are in the default list of trusted CAs.
BeOS or haiku?
I have a dual 603 BeBox I haven’t fired up in a while…
RedHat.
Not Fedora. Not RHEL. Back when it was just RedHat Linux.
