  Good for you I guess but good luck with commercial software development when your whole toolchain is Windows only. Same for video games, and Proton only works properly if you have a new GPU which supports all the Vulkan features.

  I can print at my workplace, and there is a library 5 minutes walking distance from my apartment. These huge commercial printing machines are so much better than anything you can buy for your home, and I don’t have to maintain them. I’m very grateful I don’t have to own a printer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I decided that I will update the nextcloud (windows) desktop client once or twice a decade⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used both self-hosted Nextcloud, and an instance set up by my school. I have the client on two different Windows machines, and I can confirm the update either tries to kill explorer.exe, which doesn’t work half of the time, or forces a restart, so you’re not alone with this issue! I also hate the client UI and how it displays conflicted files when multiple people are accessing the same folder. The whole file sync thing feels like a poor attempt to copy Dropbox. My school discontinued Nextcloud support last year because hosting/maintenance took too many resources, they switched to Microsoft i.e. OneDrive and it works much better.

  Wasn’t OP complaining about the Windows desktop client? What has that to do with the server setup, Docker, etc? People can have the exact same issues on the client side even if the Nextcloud instance is professionally managed by a large organization.

  So how much do I have to pay to boost the Fakespot rating of my product?

  Oh, so which interview did you listen to then?

  He’s not wrong. We’re only a few years away from the big five in the US owning all of our land in one way or another. It’s like a corporate showdown at this point. The government did nothing to stop this conglomeration of assets and wealth.

  Care to share a link?

  What’s with the downvotes? They are trading for ~$80k a piece currently and have been around since 2017. I’m not saying it’s a solid investment, far from it actually. But I don’t believe they will be “worthless” any time soon.

  CryptoPunks still going strong though.

  The research is interesting, but I don’t appreciate the bullshit clickbait headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨recommendations for selfhosted photo backup solution: folders vs albums?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a folder structure in Nextcloud where each “album” folder starts with YYYY-MM-DD so I can sort them alphabetically. I delete the photos from my phone when I copy them to the Nextcloud folder. I can always look them up using the app. This is some manual work, but it has worked very well for long-term archival and it will still be organized and searchable on other platforms as long as they support files and folders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For Kanban I use wekan, because it has more features. Nextcloud I host using snap, which I cannot 100% recommend because it sometimes has troubles upgrading to the latest version. Still, for me it causes less trouble than a manual install.
