So let me get it... LastPass was an independent company (which I remember they bought Xmarks, that's for how long I had been using these two!), then it got "recently" [1] bought by LogMeIn, (BTW a company that at that time ha

Yes, that's exactly my idea. I recently purchased a pCloud storage offer for Black Friday, and will use rclone to make full copies of the NAS itself. The good thing of doing that, is that the storage provider doesn't ultimately ma

Some friends have set a NAS up, and I'm doing the same, but most people seem to replace the cloud with a NAS while ignoring a crucial point that cloud providers do for you: replication. Are you handling that in yours? It's an upco

Thank you very much! Just to make it clear, I still use Relay for those sites that allow me to use it, I just wouldn't recommend it to friends because this kind of hiccups mean that it's not something that one can rely on with bli

Relay is very cool but it took me like 24 hours since discovering and adopting it, to being unable to use it for an account. So I cannot recommend it to my family and friends who are much less tech literate than I am. In my case I was tryin

Commercial products usually aim to satisfy its paying customer's needs. FOSS is, not always but most times, about satisfying one's own needs. So it won't be that easy to change a developer's mind who is determined about
