  Syncthing has been so helpful in making me move away from cloud based options. And to think only reason I found out about it and gave it a shot was because I was trying to figure out how to easily sync my non Steam game save files between my Desktop and my Steam Deck. It’s been invaluable since then.

    Donate if you regularly use Syncthing. Help close the causal loop.

      LibreOffice too for that matter. Kick 'em a few bucks if you can spare it.

        Thanks for the reminder! Donated 5 euros (I’m unemployed so can’t spare more right now)

    That is a very cool project that I’d never heard of. Thanks for sharing!

      Welcome to the biggest rabbit hole of your life. Syncthing itself isn’t huge, but the capacity to divest from the big cloud providers is.

    How does that differ from something like Nextcloud?

    • cows_are_underrated@feddit.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Nextcloud is, as the name says, a dedicated server used as a cloud. Syncthing only syncronises fders between devices. You dont need a dedicated server for this that stores all the data.

  OnlyOffice is also good - my preferred for the basic Word/Excel type stuff I do.

  • OscarRobin@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah I love LibreOffice’s customisability including sidebar etc, but OnlyOffice just performs a lot better and handles the most common formats better for me

      Heck yeah, OnlyOffice gang

    Yeah! To me LibreOffice just looks dated and, to be honest, shit. OnlyOffice has a much cleaner interface.

      It also isn’t still carrying around 30 years of Java baggage from when it was Sun StarOffice, and everything inbetween.

  Woowoo! Cloud has its place and I love it but it’s not for literally everything

  Not so far. LibreOffice has a network version.
