Im using a External Storage folder to hold my markdown notes. I only use them sporadically via Nextcloud and view/change them mostly via external applications. But i have to rely on the Nextcloud WebDAV sync to sync the to some devices. When i now change such a note externally, this change doesnt sync to the devices. Nextcloud means, that the files have not changed. Only when I open one of the edited notes the change will be detected, and then the WebDAV sync works.

In the adminpanel i have set the option for this external storage in "Check for changes" to "Once every direct access". I can also set it to "Never". Both settings are documented. But there is also a setting "Ever". This is not documented in https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html

Unfortunately, "Always" doesn't necessarily mean "Immediately." When I select "Always," the WebDAV sync still hasn't completed even after 10 minutes.

So where does this “Always” come from if it’s not documented anywhere, and what does it mean? And even more importantly, how do I get a WebDAV sync to work after making a change? Do I really have to run occ files_external:scan <id> every few seconds?

Is there some way to use Nextcloud as DMS? It should be possible to scan bills with a phone and add this as PDF and OCR to Nextcloud, or PDF manuals and such things. All should be categorized and tagged semi automatic.

For some time now, I've been noticing sporadic disconnections from the Wi-Fi. Sometimes this happens right after startup, sometimes after a few minutes, and sometimes only after an hour. Afterward, the laptop automatically reconnects to the Wi-Fi, only to lose the connection again at some point. Unfortunately, I have no idea what might be causing this or where I could look in the log files to find the cause. I’m using GNOME as my desktop environment. Can someone please help me find the cause and fix it if necessary?

I'm currently trying out Boost for Lemmy. For some reason, the thumbnails look milky and blurry. They have a kind of light haze over them. I haven't seen this with other clients. Is there a way to turn this off somewhere? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a setting for it. Im not talking about this nsfw pictures.

In another client—I think it was called “Connect”—there’s a feature that combines cross-posts into a single post (or hides the other ones). Is there something similar in Boost for Lemmy?
