For Dropbox like stuff I use Nextcloud. Means I can select which files I want to download on my phone. For individual transfers of files a la airdrop I use Tailscale’s Taildrop

I started self hosting recently. I bought a cheap desktop server and installed Ubuntu server on it. Every service I run is docker-compose because it’s easier than wrangling deps and such for multiple services. I use Caddy to proxy traffic a

Thank you for this. A while ago I was doing a fair bit of Elixir in my spare time, so this has given me a reason to pick it up again. Going to give it a go myself

I still have it but rarely login and have unfollowed most “friends”. I don’t belong to any groups or anything, so it’s pretty boring. The main issue is the same messenger. Occasionally I get a message which I only see after a month or two,

I used to use pinboard[1] but since I started dicking around with self hosting I use Wallabag[2] for “read it later” articles and linkding [0] for saving links that I want to refer to later. Linkding is pretty much a self hosted pinboard [0

Funny how only Facebook is making these statements? I am sure that a multitude of other services (Dropbox, Twitter, etc) also require data transfer between Europe and the US. /s Oh yeah, because they need the data to make money.

Aside from physical addiction, I find the mental side of addiction even harder to deal with. I tend to do X when Y and so each time I do Y I suddenly have an urge for X. You’d have to have a look and see if there’s anything that triggers yo

Could be nice for most individuals but I see the point about businesses. Especially smaller ones. Personally I would love to be able to see business opening hours without having to log I to Facebook, but it’s a “free” place to run your busi

The impact of Brexit is so far reaching across so many things, and whenever I talk to a leave voter about their reasons for voting, I hear what is important to them. Everyone voted for reasons inside their own little bubble, and forgot the

That's a really good description of what I tend to do a lot of the time. I do enjoy playing with and evaluating "things" but rarely get to the point of "expert" with them before the next shiny thing comes in. I had

This also varies across the board from issue trackers, image libraries, renderfarms, security related tools and so on. But it might help me to sit down and try and consider what commonality exists between the projects I've worked on an

Sounds relatable, thanks. I've given the linked article a cursory glance and I'll definitely read this when I have time to digest it properly.

There's a lot of things I want to learn more about and not enough time to do so. Time aside, it's also hard to know with which one to start. I find I get overwhelmed by the things that are out there for learning and end up procras
