  • I am shocked how many ppl think synchronization like syncthing act as a backup.

    No synchronisation is not a backup. If you accidentally delete the database and it syncs across all devices then the database is gone. If something is broken and overrides multiple times then the history if it is enabled is also gone.

    Pls use proper backup methods to backup your database.

    Edit: I sync my database also with syncthing across devices. But to back it up i have on multiple clients system backups running that include the database.







  • It is less intuitive to set up, but it is extremely lightweight and very fast. That is the one I recommend.

    I highly question the decision process to only include the lightweight and speed. There are much more important criterias to consider, like for example stability, maintainability, support etc.

    I do not need yet another service that gets abonded 1-2 years after launch or goes subscription only etc.


  • While lots of ppl will hate on Nextcloud, its pretty good. When you do the setup right, with cache and so on set up it’s fast and serves its purpose not only as cloud storage but as a collaboration platform where you can edit files with other ppl and much more.

    If you only want a simple Web App to up and download files there are probably other solutions for that.





  • Have you been on social media? A lot of ppl acting up participating in racism, transphobia, hate speech etc. do not give a shit about protecting their identity. If the real name is not already on their profile, then their post makes them easily identifiable.

    Also, there are enough laws out there that force social media providers to give out information about the users who do illegal stuff online. That would make almost everyone identifiable.

    The reality is that law enforcment gives a shit about doing their job. And Social Media providers give a shit about actively protect users of those points, even tho they are obliged to in many jurisdictions.
