God damn Scott, you're telling everyone there's no tourists in Chișinău by the time I get there, hopefully the next few months, it's gonna be packed balls to the walls. Knew I shouldn't have left that town up to you.
I do love Moldova though, way more than
RomaniaWestern Moldova. -
We were checking out apartment prices. Seems really reasonable.

I usually stay at Hotel Dacia, it's a really crappy hotel, but it's right near the Stafan park, it's about a 5km walk from the train station. It's a really ugly off grey building in a sort of brutalist architecture style. Inside is like taking a time machine, and that's what I like about it

We rented a penthouse about two blocks up the hill from the train station on Izmail. It was two floors and had great views (a lot of the videos were from the balcony.) Very close to the Hotel Chisinau. And it let me walk to the Armenian Cemetary very easily.

Just found out my Sky contract runs out 3/7/16 so looking at new deals and ditching the TV altogether.

@hobbit666 for internet/phone? I switched to PlusNet and got a really good deal, I paid line rental up front for a year, reduced rate means just under £180 I think, then for £14.99 a month I have unlimited 40Mbps fibre...no site restrictions as they're essentially BT with English Call Centres, and no delay/throttling that I've seen...
Their "hub" is ok, but I'm currently waiting till Ubiquiti stuff drops in price on Amazon to get a dedicated FW and WAP to link off the back of them...

I'm wondering when they are going to come out with an owncloud app for the chromebook/chromebox or can it be done through webdav? I see a WebDav app. Hm.

Why would they need an app? Just browse to the website.

Isn't the whole point of a chromebook is that nothing is local? Everything is accessible via a web browser?

Yes but you still need to be able to edit a document and then have the edit apply to the file in the oC server, right? Kind of a pain to re-upload it manually.

Sure, but they have a built in editor for that, otherwise you would probably be looking at Google Docs for most things.

Then use the owncloud built-in document editor. Or as @coliver said, Google Docs.

I wasn't aware it would work. Haven't had the chance to test it, although I did just get my fiance a Chromebook. I might test it out on that. Thanks!

From what I've seen of the oC document editor its pretty annoying to use. Maybe it's just me. I'm setting up an oC server as we speak so I'll play with it. I'm going to attempt certbot today.

The built in editor will work for documents on ownCloud. Google Docs on the other hand will edit documents in Google Docs. If you're buying a Chromebook you are also buying into Google's infrastructure and apps, so the assumption is that you will use Google Docs as your built in storage and Office suite.

I'd like an alternative to Google Drive though. That was the intent anyway. Google drive uses WebDAV too so it's essentially the same thing except I can run my own server.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know this existed. I have attempted to use LibreOffice on a Chromebox and it's very slow. IT's good to know that is possible though. I'm just playing around with them to see what's possible ultimately anyway.
