Yes… seeing my wife’s email inbox is mind blowing. Maybe she didn’t opt in, but she will never unsubscribe from anything. Emails from every site she’s ever shopped at.

Even on the same team, needs change, sometimes from month to month. I’ve learned to adapt my management style to the needs of the individuals and the situation. Flexibility served me fairly well here. You can do whatever you like, but I gre

Ok - I made the assumption that your (s)FTP was publicly available over the internet. (It’s safer if not, but then you don’t get the benefits of syncing from anywhere that I get.) If your FTP is open to the internet, you are now responsib

For other types of files, I have different apps: Obsidian Vaults with Syncthing, but that’s not accessible from the internet. And I like having my passwords across all my devices, updating anywhere I am. And for me, it’s just not worth the

Exactly. I’ve seen this idea so many times on HN. “Just stand up a docker container and self-host”. Or even worse: “why does anyone need GitHub - just host Bitbucket yourself” Ok, then what?
