  • What's crazy is that I tried NC on my server, which is a HP Microserver G8 hosting 13 total services. And it ran like crap. Tried the standard and AIO versions. On a whim tried NextcloudPi on a Pi4 and it has been awesome! Web interface is still pretty sluggish but I use apps that sync to NC most of the time like:

    • Quillpad for Google Keep type notes and checklists
    • Floccus for bookmarks sync
    • Deck for Kanban
    • Gnome online accounts for desktop and laptop connection with documents

    So far it's been flawless. I doubt it would run well with more than a few users though.

  • You can get a free Seafile Pro license if you create an account with them. Limited to 3 users, iirc. That's what I've been running and really using it to keep stuff on phone, desktop, and laptop reachable from any of the devices. I love it.

  • These laws don't help when it's insanely easy to install VPN clients on pretty much any device kids have access to. I have Adguard Home on our home network with the malicious and adult websites blocked. But still had a conversation with my kids about porn. And it turns out one of them had already been using a VPN on his phone and PC to bypass the local restrictions. We talked about it more, about being a good and safe "netizen" while discussing how unhealthy porn can be. I'm not anti-porn, but there is a lot of mistreatment of the people making it and can lead to some unhealthy misconceptions about sex and intimacy.

  • Thank you for sharing. This has been incredibly eye opening for me. I'm sorry that it's been so rough for you.

  • Yeah, that's terrible. I do agree there needs to be some checks and my doc might be an annomaly in regards to dishing out pills for everything. But while the course so far hasn't helped me, I'm grateful I don't have to go through so much just to start. I'm sorry you've had to deal with that.

  • Wow. I had no idea that was a thing. I'm glad I asked then. Opens my mind to how hard it can be for other folks. That's really awful.

  • Are people having that many hurdles for official diagnosis? Genuinely asking. Mine was with my primary care doc, $100 out of pocket for the visit, and whatever the meds cost. There was one questionnaire and total took about 30min from start of visit to prescription. That said, first meds aren't helping at all so I'll need to go back and see what other options there are, if any.

  • Ooh, I lost track of that one. I remember seeing the trailer but it was at least a year ago and completely forgot about it. I'll definitely check it out!

  • Micro Mages is so good!

  • I'm using Netguard. You can block specific apps without requiring root access.

  • I have. it's a solid resource. Was mostly hoping to some specific homebrew games to try before buying.

  • Sticking with Nova with network access denied for the time being. Also turned off updates in the Play Store. I'm still open to new ones, but apparently I'm very picky when it comes to launchers.

  • I did not know that. Might have to double dip. I have it on switch, but encouraging Linux game ports with my wallet seems worthwhile. Plus it wouldn't be the first time I bought a second copy of a game....

  • What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

  • Seafile is great. So fast, and unlike a bunch of these options, won't sync everything to each node. Everything is reachable from each device with a client, but only downloads what you want from the server. If Syncthing could do that without needing to do a bunch of "ignore" manipulation, I'd switch. But for my needs, Seafile is where it's at.

  • Cryptpad has a very capable Kanban in it. No mobile apps yet, but I understand that is on the road map.

  • Recent convert myself. And now that I've experienced mail, calendar, notes, and file storage all in the same app (android, at least) I can't go back to separate apps.

  • I've heard good things. I will admit I don't like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.
