Aah my bad… I was half asleep. What I meant was use Round Sync / Syncthing to copy files to pc and then use Kopia to backup. Round Sync can do one direction copying, so source files are not corrupted.

First and foremost Syncthing is not a ‘backup’ utility. Using it for backup is not at all recommended. Especially if you are dealing with Android or Raspberry pi, because the way clock / time works in these systems are pretty weird and create sync conflicts. So don’t.
Now to the solution. For backup, use a proper backup solution like Kopia. Modern solutions support browsing the snapshots created as backups. Also creating periodic snapshots ensures better redundancy and better chance for disaster recovery.
Now if you will not use it for backup, take a look at ‘Round Sync’ available in F-Droid. It’s an application built around the execptionally good app, ‘rclone’. It is some what similar to Syncthing, but designed in a very different way. Also it is more difficult to configure to copy the files to PC.
I also wanted to mention that I have used Syncthing for many heavy lifting jobs and never faced issues with it. It is a feature complete app, with the philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it perfectly. So if you run into any issues, do reach out to forums or devs. They will definitely help you.

TL;DR: The dog is in survival / ferel mode and it is suspicious of anything other than itself. Providing a safe space and slowly introducing back to humans actually change it’s behaviour into a calm and friendly one.

As you mentioned in some other comments, only the currently archived ones will be available. If you are looking for just this specific article, let me know, I will archive and share the link here. If you are looking for a method to bypass it entirely, I don’t think it’s possible.
Also I assume you are not in a position to afford the subscription. It’s fairly decent considering the quality of articles. So whenever you can afford it, subscribe and support them. Nowadays good long form articles are non existent in Indian media.

Regarding SSO my concern is not the ChartDB team having my email, that I was planning to give anyway, but SSO provider knowing I’m using this tool. It’s a personal paranoia than anything else. I know it’s much safer and easier to have 3rd party SSO than managing your own authentication service. Done that, hated it. So not really that annoyed about it.
The Mac only part really annoyed me to the core. Then I received an email telling about Buckle, which amplified it. I think the problem is you advertise it as ‘ChartDB 2.0’ and then suddenly it becomes ‘Buckle’. I can understand the thought process behind such presentations, but really don’t like it. TBH I would not be this mad if a similar tactic was used by a large corporation. But being an open source tool I have some ethical issues with these practices.
Again, I know these are just some inconveniences, and not a scandal. So not really complaining, but just sharing how I felt. Apologies if that has been rude.
sorter_plainview@lemmy.todayto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•ChartDB (v1.7.0) - open-source database diagram visualization toolEnglish21·5 months agoI have some critical comments not about the tool, but about another related stuff. Please look at the next section for doubts and suggestions.
The tool need to be more clear and less annoying about ChartDB v2.0.
So this is shown as some big rework, so I signed up. Only then it said only MacOS would support it initially. This was a huge disappointment and I felt kind of deceived into giving my email id I don’t remember seeing it’s only mac at the beginning on the sign up page. May be I missed.
Another thing is it looks like a different product altogether with the name ‘Buckle’. Again I didn’t see it in the sign up section. Why a new product name? Are you switching to freemium model?
Last but most importantly, why does a third party sign up for it? If you just want to inform the user when things are ready, just take the email and use it. No need to have access to my Google or GitHub account.
Apart from this terrible experience, I love the tool and how it visualises it.
I have a doubt. When I visualised my postgres db it also showed the views I had, apart from the tables. But I could not find an option to add a new view from the interface, so that I can use it as a more capable design tool. Is it a feature in the pipeline?
Also I could not find an option to set the length of Type: varchar. I remember seeing this feature in other design tools.
If you know Adobe Lightroom, it offers similar functionalities. Typically professional post processing of photos.

I got busy. I’m not entirely sure this is a dynamic registration issue. Your screenshot points to something like a permission issue. This is a bit wild guess with very limited information.
Do you have any info saved when you attempted to register the client manually and use client id and secret?
I will try to do some tests when I get to my setup. Do ping me if you have any updates.
sorter_plainview@lemmy.todayto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help Needed: Disabling Dynamic Client Registration in Keycloak for OwnCloud Infinite Scale Mobile App AuthenticationEnglish2·8 months agoOh, so no separate config is used and only env variables I guess. Is it possible for you to get the URL your app is requesting? If yes, please share a sample.
Also double check the realm name. I assume you created a new realm for your use and not using master.

But it looks like a good improvement on Wireguard. I will need a separate setup to test it out and currently I’m away from home with no clue when I will return. If I happen to find anything, I will definitely ping you.
In the HN page you linked many people mentioned v2ray. Have you tried that? How good is it?
sorter_plainview@lemmy.todayto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Hyperspace: a p2p VPN solution that doesn't require a serverEnglish7·8 months agoHave you considered having Headscale on a cheap VPS? We are actually doing that and it is pretty capable. IIRC, you can configure not to use the tailscale servers at all, and use your own public VPS for coordination. Bonus point, tailscale hired the Headscale developer and maintainer, and they are allowed to work on Headscale while on their payroll. The team looks very much into FOSS.
It didn’t work like that for me. I must admit I didn’t dig deep to clearly see what is the problem. So my setup had a Windows Pc, a Raspberry Pi 5, and an Android phone, sharing a folder which had notes.
Whenever I save any changes in Windows machine, the android used gets updated without much issue, but the Raspberry Pi caused conflicts. When looked at the time stamps they were different and it looked to me like the Raspberry Pi 5 Syncthing is sending the old file as new one, because of the save time.
It read somewhere the issue is with how time is handled in Rasberry Pi. So I disabled the Raspberry Pi Syncthing and went on, because that was not really needed.
