i chuckled realizing nobody but programmers understands this and funny & recognizable at the same time!
- 4ggr0 5y agoThis reminds me of something I did last week. In our team we share a Keepass file on a Windows share to exchange important passwords. If I am WFH I have to connect to the VPN, login to said share, copy the file and paste it to my linux laptop. This takes less than 5min but it always feels like a waste of time. So then I had a genius idea that I could automate this process, to save time you know. Well, after 1,5 hours of trial and error I came to the conclusion that doing it manually is maybe not the worst thing.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoIs there no premade software for Linux that syncs a Windows share?
- 4ggr0 5y agoCould be. The issue I had is that my file browser can connect to a windows share, but doesn't cache anything. I need a local copy of this pw file, else I always have to be in one of the two VPNs we have. Apparently Unison[0] could be a solution. But to be honest, I grab this file once every couple of months because 99% of the pws I need don't change, so I only sync when someone has built a new service I need the pw for.

- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoI actually had the same setup just privately to sync KeePass between different clients. I used OneDrive, and the Linux solutions were not very reliable. But that may have been specific to OneDrive.
