  • it is now a non issue

    IMHO it's still a big issue that might lead to data loss to someone else. The Windows client should be hardcoded to refuse syncing in onedrive folder.

    Someone should reproduce this in a VM and open a GitHub issue

    Edit: they already know this since a couple years, and the same happens on MacOS https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/4276

  • Illegal but tolerated: just think to all the Chinese companies thriving on Facebook ads sales

    They crack down on it only when they need to punish a specific target/person

  • When you enter China, you have to run their application on your phone to fill the immigration form. Way more convenient compared to the paper slip, right? 😉

    It's this https://apkpure.com/zhong-guo-ling-shi/com.gov.mfa

    Luckily, you don't need to install full malware but only medium malware, there's a way to run it as a web app inside tencent WeChat by scanning a special qr code.

    I run this stuff inside insular because tencent is tencent and even on fully patched Android 15 without any file access permission they still manage to drop fingerprinting files disguised as images in /pictures/.gs_fs0

    For connecting to my servers, technically ssh on standard ports isn't blocked (otherwise it would hurt their bots, no?) but I don't want to show my server IP address, so I use a hysteria2 proxy hosted on a Oracle VM in the Japan datacenter. There are services like doggygo that rent access to those proxys for literal pennies (like $2 per month) but payment need to do with alibaba's alipay or tencent wepay which is ultra traceable (linked to Chinese id+Chinese bank account+Chinese phone number) and very stupid. Honeypot?

    There are reports of evil maid attacks where a secret service agent poses as room cleaner in your hotel room and tampers with your laptop when you're away, but for normal people this seems unlikely. Keep your electronics with you at all times, always use a VPN, check hashes of executables if really need to run them (better not) and you're going to be ok

  • Raid wasn't designed for data safety but to minimize downtime. Just swap the drive an continue operating the server seamlessly. Full backups are still required as the chance of complete failure isn't zero

  • It's still in alpha but hoarder is promising

    It's designed to organize bookmarks, but can also support markdown notes with picture (a single picture, not multiple pictures)

    Unfortunately at the moment the mobile app is so alpha that doesn't support creation or editing such notes, only new bookmarks or new photos.

    It uses a headless chromium to make screenshots for URLs.

    Optionally, can use a bullshit generator like ollama or openai api keys to automatically create a lot of useless tags to each note

  • What I've been doing:

    Easy option: because I only have around 40gb of music, I sync it between my PC and my phone using syncthing since 128gb is the minimum nowadays

    Hard option: streaming is cooler so I installed nextcloud with an optional plugin called "music" which allows to connect an app called "ultramusic" and it becomes "self hosted Spotify" with android auto support and all the bells and whistles. Disadvantage: Nextcloud is a moving target. For some reason they have to release new incompatible versions every two or three months. So for plugin developers this is a very annoying upgrade threadmill that eventually leads to burnout and that plugin dies. Even officially supported plugins sometimes don't support the latest version when they launch it. If you choose to use nextcloud with docker, make sure to stay behind 1-2 versions (tag nextcloud:28 when nextcloud:30 is released) or your plugins might suddenly break without any warning. According to fanboys this is the industry standard nowadays and it's up to the user to manually check the GitHub issues of each of the 30 plugins if it's compatible before updating. Even if it's official plugin. They call it "stable" but they mean "beta testing for the paid enterprise version".

  • that's good, didn't notice that

  • yes but the old docker requires the old licenses that aren't on sale anymore to share more than 10 directories or other QOL improvements

  • It says "unlimited file sync is a $5 in-app unlock" so I'm guessing they can make money. Main problem is the apple developer fees that will eat the profit of the first 25 sales each year

  • That client seems really nice, is that new? I was thinking that it was just a download link for the browser but now it's like a self hosted steam 😲

  • Does anyone know why it was forked and the fork got all the improvements while the official app is in the exact same state of when it was launched years ago?

    It was because all the proposals got rejected?

    Because if he rejected all the improvements I don't really understand why he's saying "nobody wants to help development"

  • Well, Gemini is the stupidest of the bots

  • Uuuuhhh that's why all the samples were printed in vase mode with a huge nozzle!

    I didn't think about retraction!

  • Well the website says it comes back in stock next month

  • sure, but why solve problems in 10 minutes when i can do it way more sophisticated using 10x more time and resources?

    (at the moment reverted to the easy html form + php send mail)

  • I had a similar problem when using nginx proxy manager. In the end I just gave up and directly used cloudflare tunnels+cloudflare ssl

  • What about Publii?

    WYSIWYG static site generator but personally I like to keep the content in markdown pages in a git repository so i can keep unlimited edit history; this saves everything in a local sqlite database.

    Unfortunately the most powerful one that checks all the boxes, including automatic upload to s3 is hugo, but as you said the learning curve is high. Maybe try to see if you can run the example site of this theme, install hugo in your system, then go in the examplesite directory and run hugo serve. Slowly edit the files until you understand how it works.

  • I tried nextcloud photos for ten minutes and it looked like you can add photos to an album only at the moment of their creation. And you need to choose them one by one, don't have "select all". And you can't select photos already uploaded in the past. What? Couldn't think of a worse gallery than this.

  • Me too, just saying that encryption isn't always a pro
