No judgement on what you’re doing online. In your case, don’t download untrusted files, stream where you can. For all users, whether on the black seas or not, you should as a matter of habit use uBlock Origin in your browser, turn on the filterlists for security, ads, annoyances in particular.

Looks interesting, bookmarking to try this out.

Is it fair to say Webmesh is your open source version of Nord VPN’s Meshnet? https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/

https://www.collaboraoffice.com/nextcloud/ sounds like what you’re looking for. I’ve not tried it myself as I actually like the Google docs/sheets etc offering.

In your cloud sync app, you should be able to ask it to sync your camera folder - I know the nextcloud app asks if you want this, and you can also point it to specific folders to keep in sync.

If your self host cloud doesn’t have an app, just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full to sync chosen folders.

Go Daddy. The name alone is just plain creepy.

Ahhh, just found this in the FAQ, sadly I think it’s not possible to backup app data using Shizuku.

https://swiftapps.org/faq#appparts

"The private app data in /data/data/ or /data/user/*/ that stores your app preferences, login info, databases, etc. This is the most important part to restore apps potentially with their state preserved.

Requirements: ⚠️ Root required for backup & restore ⚠️ Shizuku mode (ADB access) cannot read/write at these path"

Hold up… So are you saying that I could use Shizuku / Swiftbackup, and it would do backup and restore of app data, just like when I used to have root and Titanium Backup?! That would be a game changer, I never fully trusted Google backups or Samsung Smart Switch to do the full job.

Apple Mac: it juuuuuust works.

“Id like an email client with folders or categories.”

I tried a few other email clients to see if I could ditch the gmail one (years ago, admittedly), and where those clients fell short for me was they didn’t support labels, only folders. Multiple labels can apply to one email, but an email can only belong in one folder.

Does anyone know if things have changed, whether third party clients now support gmail labels?

Perplexity.ai has largely replaced Google and Bing for me. It searches the Internet (including reddit), asks for clarification if necessary, then summarises it all with sources cited. The free tier currently gives 5x gpt4 copilot searches per rolling 4 hours. Like most ai chat, it’s less of a search engine, and more an ‘answer’ engine.

As for q and a, reddit, though you’ll have to filter the funny / misleading comments out. Quora is just weird, I don’t like the vibe there.

The ability of my Google Home gadgets to correctly understand speech drops sharply whenever there’s a promo on them - I imagine the influx of new speech patterns from new users tanks the recognition/parsing systems at Google.

My Samsung has the option to save as HEIF. When I want to share that photo, my phone shares the HEIF file which isn’t commonly supported.

An iPhone also saves as HEIF - however, it automatically converts to jpeg when you share. Much smarter, more seamless.

Is that a unique address at the same domain, or even the domains are unique?

Randomised user names

Password manager

Randomised words for any website that asks for memorable info (mother’s maiden name, first pet’s name, etc) for security. Always gets a laugh from customer services.

False birth date.

I imagine that there are far fewer people who use RSS now than there were 10 years ago. The rise of social media and shorter attention spans may have something to do with that. Personally, I’m in the RSS cult, using Tiny Tiny RSS.

As others have commented, Nextcloud provide an all-in-one docker set up. I managed to follow the instructions and get it working.

However, in the end, I wanted this to replace my Dropbox subscription, and my files and reliable access to them are important to me. Given that, and my relatively low skill level, I didn’t want to futz with troubleshooting failed updates and server issues, so I just went with a Hetzner storage share, which is their managed nextcloud subscription: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share

I had the same problem - this extension saved my RAM: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/
