Copyparty is clearly labor of love, some UI choices are questionable, but the docs and the ease of setup are amazing
- Comment on Another update that no one asked for 1 day ago:
All in one? No, not really.
There are some projects which automate setup of popular FOSS programs, and add some kind of SSO or GUI to integrate them. Freedombox, Yunohost, Sandstorm.io are examples of that.

I moved to Syncthing. Some people say Seafile is good.

I would like to know too, that’s the last reason why i still have to host that forsaken piece of software.
- Comment on Another update that no one asked for 1 day ago:
Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing Like, between users? You can set up a shared folder with that user, although I know it’s not the same.
I’ve recently been made aware of Copyparty, which is a web GUI for serving files, with great access control, and the main dev reported people have been running it over a Syncthing-synced directory without any issues. Has an Android app too. I don’t have any need for sharing over HTTP right now, but if I did, that would be my go-to.

If you don’t need a web GUI, just WebDAV is a good protocol, nginx can serve files over it. SFTP is good too.
Here’s a tutorial for WebDAV / Docker, it boils down to one command. No databases, performance issues, security nightmares.

I’m not the right person to ask this question as these 2 are the only reason I haven’t nuked Nextcloud yet. Looked at Radicale but shared calendars look like a nightmare to set up. But in the era of LLMs, I may just have one of them set it all up and migrate it for me.

This is the way! Slowly replace Nextcloud components with better things until you’re no longer dependent on it

Here’s an up to date answer (yes, it still is):
- Comment on where to move for cheap VPS? 1 week ago:
Can you find an ipv6-mostly provider these days (access from outside wuth ipv6 but there’s some 6 to 4 translation layer so you can download from ipv4 only websites like github)?

Really depends on what language you want the subtitles to be. Opensubtitles is the lowest common denominator

The app is not important if it’s an open standard with an open API or open p2p access, which CBDCs will not be.

Do you live in some other EU where government apps are open?

Yeah, a national bank will for sure do it in a transparent, nondiscriminatory way /s
You’ll be able to only use it using a closed app requiring google play services, safety net and with an account linked to your identity. Which means that either all your transactions are public and undeniably linked to you, or the blockchain is not transparent and open to manipulation. And they will find a way to “prevent terrorism and protect children” by blocking certain accounts.

- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 5 weeks ago:
I work in IT and pairing bluetooth is sometimes so finnicky i give up for a few days. I can accept that I’m not that great at IT but I don’t think 99% of people don’t have these problems.
And it’s not a thing you do one time, most of these gadgets need re-pairing every sone time for whatever reason.

Graphene developers seem enthusiastic to all the bullshit that Google comes up with, and on security/privacy tradeoff they seem to usually choose security. Case in point, the mandatory battery update.
CalyxOS seems to choose privacy first, but that project folded recently.

- Comment on Google is killing the open web 1 month ago:
Fuck google but as someone whos job it os to maintain a legacy website using xhtml/xslt, no, this is not a way forward. The concept is cool but the language itself - way too abstract and verbose compared to HTML templates.

Germany is great in this regard, you have coin machines everywhere and the cash and privacy culture seems to be very strong.
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 1 month ago:
I’m kind of living the 1) life, I have a degoogled smartphone in eternal airplane mode and only free software apps. So in practice I have none of the apps “required” to live.
In large cities, transportation is getting more and more difficult without uber. Bike/escooter rentals also stopped working without an app. I use osmand on my offline smartphone to find taxi stands, so that’s cheating by your standards, but stands are empty these days and the drivers are a bit surprised and comment that “most people order a taxi by phone these days”.
I’ve lost most of my friends when I quit facebook, when we randomly meet we still have a small chat but I don’t get invited to events (birthdays etc) any more. Big respect to the few that still don’t mind sending an sms or email (and even more respect to the 2 friends who keep an xmpp client with only me as a contact)
Increasingly, I don’t know what’s going on around me because businesses, libraries etc advertise only on “spotted” on facebook, have presence only on fb, and don’t even care about telling the local news about events or openings. I only know about that because of other people who use facebook.

Great software!
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 2 months ago:
Thank you for your answer! Do you think copyparty would work together with Syncthing on the same backing directory, or would they compete for changes etc? Copyparty in this scenario would be for sharing content with friends and occasional remote upload
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 2 months ago:
I have a question, and I want to emphasise thar this is not criticism but a request for dive into technicalities.
In the video you mentioned copyparty has an one-way sync tool. Is there a good reason why it’s not two-way, or is this just something you weren’t motivated to do?
