Giving lubuntu a try to reuse an old laptop with a new ssd fitted. Have to say it is not going well:
- wireless is slow and stops working completely at times
- ignores some results from my local dns server
- muon package manager shows no results for any search

Any advice on how best to automate updates on my Raspberry pi 4 server running raspberry pi OS (formerly known as raspbian). Based on Debian buster. Advice to do it manually is acceptable.
Replaced a 10 year old usb wireless keyboard that stopped working with a spare that is 30 years old. It needed a big DIN to PS2 adapter and I'm slightly surprised that a pc I bought last year has a PS2 socket for it.
Do I want to go to 4 byte characters in the database so I can support emojis in filenames in NextCloud? 🤔
Finally finished the long journey of upgrading NextCloud 13 to 20. Involved a downgrade of PHP, an upgrade of PHP and finally and accidental sidegrade (fpm to Apache). Note to self: don't leave it so long in future.
Anyone else attending fosdem virtually?
