[Help] Error with my nextcloudpi project(CONNECTION_REFUSED)

So here's the Story:
I decided that it would be a good idea to have some cloud storage for my own that I don't have to pay for, that doesn't depend on some sort of company and that I can expand if I wanted to. So I installed nextcloudpi on my raspberry pi activated ssh via a file named ssh searched for the ip adress
and activated nextcloud pi in the browser. After I had completed the first setup wizard the problems began. I decided that being able to access my cloud from the Internet would be a good thing and activated my no-ip host name in the router settings and wanted to add it to the "allowed" host names list in ncp when the ncp Websetup site crashed and told me to reload the site. From there one I was no longer able to connect to my Raspberry pi it always said: CONNECTION_REFUSED. I rebooted my computer my raspberry and my router several times dis- and reconnected them from the Internet and tried to setup nextcloud pi manually on the raspberry pi with display and stuff connected but it only displayed No Signal. Please help me! I've got no clue we're my mistake is located and it's slowly driving me crazy
Thanks

Nvidia will never allow Nouveau fully operational

A lot of people on this sub (and on the Internet in general) hope that at some point Nvidia will make it possible for Nouveau to catch up with proprietary driver. It won't, ever.

Nvidia has 2 lines of GPUs: consumer Geforce and professional Quadro. Quadro is much more expensive, but has more features. The problem is that chips inside them are the same or at least very similar. The main reason why Geforces lacks these features is because they are blocked in card's software. If somebody breaks firmware signing process, everybody will be able to hack their cheap Geforces with Quadro firmware. The cash bag of Quadro would lose any reason to exist. Nvidia will do anything to stop that and .01% of their customers who are using Linux and want libre drivers are laughably worthless in comparison.

Firmwares will be signed, drivers will be closed source and any FOSS alternatives will be toys. Stop dreaming, don't feed their business model, never buy Nvidia.

Mounting SharePoint on Linux

I am a Linux noob,but recently I figured out a way to mount SharePoint online as a drive on Linux. I used Windows F12 tools to help, but hopefully this is good information for others out there who might be struggling with the same thing.

​

The First thing I did was open up a SharePoint online session on my windows machine with chrome and used the developer tools to log the network traffic while it was generating my session. Then I did a search for "rtFa=". This is your session cookie that allows you to authenticate with SharePoint through Linux. You will want to grab that value and the FedAuth= value and copy this out somewhere like NP++. You can remove everything from after the long encrypted strings, but keep the last ";" I.E. [domain=sharepoint.com](https://domain=sharepoint.com)' expires; Tue, etc. combine the strings so now it should look like "rtFa=erjek...;FedAuth=488uei...;" Keep this for later.

Second, you will need to sudo apt-get install davfs2. After doing this make the directory where your SharePoint location will be located (I did mkdir /mnt/sp). Now navigate to the /etc/davfs2/ and open up the davfs2.config file as a SU. Uncomment add\_header and create a line above that and add \[/mount/location\]. On the Add\_Header line add Cookie and paste in the rtFa=3434;FedAuth=3j3k values from before. The config should look something like

\[/mnt/sp\] add\_header Cookie rtFa=3ie93ike;FedAuth=efjijekl;

Save the config and now open up a terminal window and run the command

\> mount -t davfs "[https://your.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite](https://your.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite)" /mnt/sp

Now just enter your credentials and you should have a newly mounted SharePoint drive that you can do whatever you want with!

​

Note: if you want to make changes to files/folders you will have to go back into the config file and change use\_locks to 0.

Also the session cookie will expire, so if it does you will have to re-find and add that value. You could probably create a noscript that does this for you, so you don't have to do it manually each time.

​

I hope this helps someone out there!
