I just use NFS tbh, I'm really sketched out by smb's access controls on Linux and how it masks files, plus all the weird windowsy overhead, with NFS it's either read only or read write and it's a whitelist system, I have to add IPs or subnets manually to make them accessible and that works for me.

Sshfs isn't the same as smbfs if that's what you're thinking. It has nothing to do with how windows does files.

Nah I was thinking as opposed to the more common SMB in general, and that it just weeks. I should've clarified.

My SO has a MacBook, and I thought no sweat, I'm sure I can just autofs or something onto the NAS so that the photo storage is always there. I was wrong. Why dies it have to be such a pain? So clunky, so unreliable.

Bruh just use smb

I’ve been considering rsync

I need to run git operations from a laptop (on a vpn) but I can’t build from the laptop, I can only build from a host that is only accessible on the vpn.

So I can only git pull / git push from the laptop, but I can only build / run / test from a remote host.

Linux on both sides. What’s the best solution here?

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

Detach the laptop's head, then git clone from it over SSH on your build server. When you're done, git push will update your laptop's branches, then you can git push origin the relevant branches on your laptop.

I can’t run git operations on the server.

Isn't MacOS based on a Unix kernel? Or did they evolve away from the core principle of treating everything as a file?

Isn't is fuse? Why then it doesn't work on darwin?

[-] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Mac OS version of Fuse is a commercial software. That said there are other alternatives.

I use Samba over my LAN and ZeroTier to create a sort of VPN Samba on MacOS is a bit slow (heads up) I have not yet figured that issue out but this setup worked for me for a number of years. (and manages to handle my time machine backups over LAN)

Any more since most of my remote access needs fall under development I user Visual Studio Code and their Remote connections system (which is pretty fucking good and "only" requires an SSH connection... and a decent amount of RAM on the remote host)

There are a lot of things to beat up an MacOS over... but honestly getting more technical windows users to from Windows to Mac WILL help Linux adoption. Getting into the underpants of MacOS is very similar to linux (you just don't HAVE to have fun unless you want to)

Why nobody mentions samba?? That is the only thing I knew

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 months ago

Also samba can't distinguish between /foo/ and /Foo/ which is a pretty small issue.... except when it isn't.
