Wait! What?
FreedomBox includes Nextcloud now? But Nextcloud is not in Debian yet!?
When did this happen? How did I miss it?

IIUC the main risk is to let some users see packets they shouldn't see.

The conflict is not with systemd, it's much more fundamental:
`systemsd-timesyncd` is an NTP client that wants to control the system's
time, and `ntpsec` wants to do the same.

FreedomBox is a great way to setup many different services, but I can't
seem to figure out how to make it serve the time via the NTP protocol.
I tried to do it by hand, but I can't install `ntpsec` because it
conflicts with the `systemd-timesyncd` package which is required
by FreedomBox.

If noone here has any idea what might be going on or how to investigate

Should I `reportbug` against Plinth?

The machine on which I run FreedomBox is/was my local network's NTP
server, but the latest update to `freedombox` brought in
`systemd-timesyncd` as dependency, forcing the removal of conflicting
packages `ntp` and `ntpsec`.
How can I keep my machine as both a FreedomBox server and an NTP server?
Freedombox seems to like to reboot, but now that I use it on a box that
I also use for other purposes, it's rather annoying.
IIUC the reboots are linked to the "auto-update" functionality.
But when I try to disable it, it ... "doesn't work".

The places I'm familiar with all have ISPs which let you use any port

On the contrary: for obvious ecological reasons, it is absurd nowadays

When running Freedombox style software, with a machine that has no more
than 4GB, I highly doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between
a machine running Debian's `arm64` and `armhf`.
The only potential issue I can think of is the question whether Debi

Because the standard Linux kernel does not (yet?) support this board.

I did not mean to endorse the BananaPi. I do have one and am quite
satisfied with it (I just wish it had 2GB or RAM rather than just one).
FWIW, I have indeed heard people having some problems with the

There are several other small&cheap SBCs (such as the Banana Pi or

Usually, the drives themselves take care of doing that, according to the

configured with `hdparm`, more specif
Not sure what kind of answer you're expecting from the freedombox
community about this, but I'd suggest you contact Olimex about it
(and maybe the sunxi-linux community). It's probaly easy to fix (maybe
even just be tweaking the DTS file).
