Copyparty is awesome. You don’t even need to sync you can just mount WebDAV

Daddy is used normally here. I can’t think of a Cantonese equivalent off my head right now, but we have plenty of phrases describing different relationships types.
For example, 食軟飯 (eat soft rice) means a man being financially dependent on a woman.

It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.

My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.

- Comment on Reproducible alternatives to nextcloud? 1 month ago:
Some Android file managers support WebDAV. I’m using Amaze which unfortunately doesn’t, so instead I have DAVx5 and I can use it to browse files on the server.
Alternatively, you can use rclone in Termux to download the server files to the device. I use this to sync music from my server.
For your PDF use case, unfortunately you will need to first download the file before opening it.

Copyparty! github.com/9001/copyparty
Insanely powerful, consumes much less resource and is very easy to setup. It does one thing (cloud storage) and it does it well.

- Comment on People around the world are trying to learn English because it's the Lingua Franca, but imagine if the Lingua Franca of the world was a Tonal Language and the writing system was Logographic. 2 months ago:
The tone 2 and 5 difference is subtle. 5 goes not as high as 2. Most of the time people pronounce them lazily but I can figure it out from the context.

Kind of ironic that we named the western countries with nice words and got invaded instead

- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 4 months ago:
Ayyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat
I don’t really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I’m currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity.
Since I’m a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).
I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means “start” on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.
