At work we’re using Bitwarden for the group benefits; though I still have KeePassXC running to simplify SSH keys (Windows, naturally) for native & PuTTY.

Personally, I use KeePassXC & KeePass android (currently); and sync’d through GDrive; which is good enough for my needs.

As @leetnewb@beehaw.org mentioned, I’m not sure either is what you’re necessarily looking for.

Yeah, I know, “RTFM.”

Sorry, I didn’t mean to come across in a condescending way, if that’s how it read. I’ve only ever used rclone for Google Drive, and its been quite a while since I’ve personally set it up, as I no longer daily-drive linux (outside of WSL).

A “remote” presumably means a remote folder/share/whatever in the cloud, in this case on Proton Drive, yes?

Yes, following the documentation, you would run rclone config, then answer as follows:

• Create/Edit/Quit: n
• Name: proton
• Storage: protondrive
• User: username@protonmail.com
• Password: y to enter your password; then enter your password twice as prompted
• 2FA: If you have 2FA configured, enter the 6-digit OTP; else press <Enter> to skip
• Keep this “proton” remote?: y

This should create a proton-drive remote called “proton”, which you can reference in further rclone commands. For example:

# Check if out of sync
rclone check 'proton:' ~/proton 2>&1 | grep --quiet ' ERROR :'

# Sync local/remote
rclone sync 'proton:' ~/proton

If I want to set Rclone to automaticlly sync, say, my home folder to Proton Drive, Rclone has to run as a service on startup for this to work.

In the past, I wrote a script to handle the check/sync job, and scheduled it to run with crontab, as it was easier for me to work with. Here’s an example of the script to run rclone using the proton: remote defined above:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Ensure connected to the internet
ping -c 1 8.8.8.8 |& grep --quiet --ignore-case "unreachable" && exit 0

# If in-sync, skip sync procedure
rclone check 'proton:' "${HOME}" |& grep --quiet ' ERROR :' || exit 0

# Run sync operation
rclone --quiet sync 'proton:' "${HOME}"

If scheduling with crontab, running crontab -e will open your user’s schedule in the $VISUAL, $EDITOR or /usr/bin/editor text editor. Here, you could enter something like

0,30 * * * * /home/your_user_name/proton_sync.sh

Which would try to sync once every 30 minutes (crontab-guru).

you can use systemd to set up rclone as a system or user service

This is also an option, assuming your system is using systemd; which most distributions have moved to – you typically have to go out of your way to avoid it. I also don’t have much experience in writing my own service/timer files; but it looks like systemd-run may have you covered as well (source):

# Run every 30 minutes
systemd-run --user --on-calendar '*:0/30' /home/your_user_name/proton-sync.sh

While I know writing config files and working with the terminal can be intimidating (it was for me in the beginning, anyway); I’d really recommend against running random ‘scripts’ you find online unless you either 100% trust the source, or can read/understand what they are doing. I have personally been caught-out recently from a trusted source doing jank shit in their scripts, which I didn’t notice until reading through them…and Linux Admin/DevOps is my day job…

Looks like they have an official tutorial.

My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.

I don’t know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it’s honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex…

I’m the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).

Apparently we’re going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA – oh, and for 30K/yr.

I’m sure this will go well.

My parents recently got a new washer/dryer set; they had to buy commercial (though available to consumers) units to get non-smart units.

Hey now, why don’t you join my work and use jboss-4.2.2.GA? (kill me)

I assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

There’s really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

• The edge panel (ended up using Panels
• A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
  • I’ve gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it’s handled in OneUI

A combination of Boost for my primary account, and Sync for my alternate(s). I don’t need two, but this helps me to better visually separate where I am.

I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game’s executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.

In Fallen Order’s case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.

Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week – completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn’t work for some people).

Are you also managing AD or other services in Linux to make PS more viable, or just in general?

May be worth building a default config to “install” for those setups; that’s saved me quite some time when configuring new/spare machines at work.

For me, once I prove the username/password and tap “Login”, a third box appears asking for the MFA code

Part of the difficulty may have also been because it was my first foray into Android… at the moment I don’t have a specific example, but I seem to remember setting defaults was straight-forward; but either they were not always respected by certain interaction prompts, or some similar behavior.

As for GMail, I’m also no longer using the app and instead have opted for Spark (personal mailboxes) & Outlook (exchange, work)…

I’ve just recently switched from a Galaxy S10 to a Pixel 7 as I wanted to see the “vanilla” experience, as well as be closer to upstream for software updates. My S10 still works great, though the battery needs replacement (at the time, it had already broken the glue on the back glass and was still expanding – didn’t realize until I took it out of the case for cleaning)…

With my S10, I had to really fight to get it to let me use Google’s apps over the Samsung ones; which whole annoying is doable. So far, the only things I really miss from Samsung (and notably the UX):

• The sidebar/panel with an additional set of predefined apps
  • Replaced with Panels
• The volume/silent switch in the notification shade
• The Bixby button (for custom actions)
• Physically smaller phone, but that’s not a huge deal

Overall, I’m happy with the experience so far; though I dunno if the “Pro” model of anything is really worth it.

Not sure what MFA provider you’re using, but worked fine for my account with GAuth. Though, I’m currently trailing both Sync and Boost (the latter was my preferred reddit client)
