Is there a USB drive flashing program in APT?
Balena Etcher. Just because no-one else has mentioned it in the comments so far.

Getting started with NextCloud?
Reply in thread
IIRC the first release was supposed to be early June. Have not checked. No tutorial yet, maybe I should write one. But you can basically follow ANY OnlyOffice install procedure talking about Docker image, and replace the onlyoffice with euro-office, and it should just work.
https://github.com/Euro-Office/DocumentServer -> Run this to get the server going.
https://github.com/Euro-Office/eurooffice-nextcloud -> Run this to install it into Nextcloud.

Install and run EuroOffice. Integrates with Nextcloud. Based off OnlyOffice. Works really well.

Software Engineers Say They're Losing the Ability to Code Now That AI Does It for Them

So this is going to invoke a multitude of downvotes, but here goes.
I will give you an example. I can read a bit of python code, not the advanced stuff, but enough to understand to a large degree what the code does. Last week, I had the need to add a button to Netbox that will download a multitude of device configs that are being rendered via config templates. This use case helps a whole department apply configs, without having to create them by hand.
I knew Netbox has a very powerful plugins ecosystem. The way the base code is written grants the capability of adding any type of plugin you might need in your unique environment. I used Claude to create this plugin for me. I wrote a very specific spec file, told it to utilise the already built pynetbox plugin and ensure it uses nothing fancy that is not sustainable. It created the plugin, helped me with pip installing it, and I deployed it on my dev environment where I tested it extensively.
My alternative to using claude: Asking our internal development team to write something like this. I would need to wait 3 weeks to even get a spot on their meeting for the request, just to then be told their backlog is full with customer code and they won't be able to help. This plugin will help our support team with fewer calls, because the configs are accurately built according to the source of truth (Netbox) and will need less human input. So in the greater scheme of the company, that is a net positive.
What I will do when Netbox updates, is update my dev environment, install the plugin, and test it. If something broke, I will troubleshoot it, of course I will be using Claude with error logs etc, then update the plugin code to work on the new netbox. Is this ideal? Probably not. Is it the only way to get this done? Maybe not either. Is it all I can do at this very moment? Yes.
My specialist fields are the lower levels. Hardware, hypervisors and setting up VMs + System Software. I need code from time to time to get something functional done. I don't write whole systems with Claude, that is just ridiculously naive. But small pieces of functional code that solves a single small problem, I honestly don't understand the problem with that.
My 2c.

Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
I have a self-hosted Nextcloud and my Nextcloud account connected via GNOME as an Online Account. It integrates seamlessly with Calendar, gives me a webdav mount for my files etc. I don't have any issues. I have not added any Google accounts, and definitely no Microsoft accounts. I don't use public clouds for private stuff.

Sorry for asking a question, on a discussion thread dedicated to this sport and more specifically this session, relating to an incident that just happened. No one HAS to answer me, I asked and other online users were nice enough to answer me. I had in fact read about the Sainz retirement, but had no info regarding the "security" thing. Hence me asking. If you don't want to answer, don't. But no need to tell someone off purely because they had asked a question, dude.

You are correct. I mistook your comment to refer to people in general, rather than trained professional coders. So indeed, you are correct.

"They already have your data"

This. So much this. How can people not grasp this idea? Companies don't care about something you bought 5 years ago. They are interested in your current data.

Is NextCloud worth it for a company?
It is worth it. How much you charge is up to you. A good start would be to use the pricing on Nextcloud's site as a gauge, seeing as you will be doing more than just the application. You will do the servers, VMs etc. as well. If your friend is at all worried about privacy, then get their company onto Nextcloud. That is my 2c. GL!

Yeah I am open to anyone who can prove this wrong/correct. I saw it and thought it needs sharing. I am more than willing to ask forgiveness afterwards :-) Luckily I too only use Thunderbird.
