With AIO upgrade is a piece of cake. -- For us, Nextcloud is a godsend, some things could be improved, true, but they are improving; we are more than grateful for this comprehensive software. Much less hassle (and even less expensive) than

Wow that looks cool. Thanks for the mention!

It's beautiful! -- Cool that Chris Wanstrath gives massive support to this project (financial and (most likely) time).

I was right to dump Firefox for Brave...

I use it (there are always trade-offs). It's by far the best and most convenient browser for me, I run it on all my devices. What are you using instead?

A note regarding your last point: - Google Play is sandboxed [1], you have (important) privacy advantages - with a second account for banking apps (or in your example) uber, lyft, one can nicely separate "google-play-apps" f

yes, and: Limits to Growth. It was known in 1972. The number of people is too large. Much too large. But what can we do (nothing?)

True. I don't know of any other "holistic" project that we could have choosen instead of Nextcloud. One very very important point is the AIO installation method. So easy and no fear to have forgotten something important. -- Y

What is an ultra-cheap tiny server? Maybe a CX21 (6.37 €/mth) at https://www.hetzner.com/de/cloud would fit. There are Docker images and you only need to install the NextCloud AIO. Super simple. Upgrade is also si

If I only would need file sync I'd use Syncthing. But with calendars, adresses, chat, mail, decks, etc. I don't know another solution. Some compromises are necessary: I didn't find e.g. a good note taking app with sharing amo

Nice to hear. After several (abandoned) attempts and installing NC from scratch it seems to me that Nextcloud matures well. I like the focus on hub/groupware. Still some details from time to time which annoy me (and probably could be i

I am glad that there are people like Max Howell who write such (for me) great package managers. In opposite to what you write, here in a quote reply he comes across as very friendly: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-beh

Thanks. Oh, I misunderstood you ;-) and thought you were talking about Brave. I stopped using Firefox quite a while ago and settled on Brave. Some config is needed but it works (very) well for me.

Norway style means that UK would still have had to allow freedom of movement. If the EU and especially Germany had adapted their (imo insane & ideology driven) immigration politics, I don't think the UK would have left. But in the

The former owners of Twitter got 44 billion. Why don't they care about their ex-employees? It's a bit cheap to blame Musk (only).

Of course the public was (and is!!) the culprit. Only the individual "footprint" is so small that almost nobody does something. Real structural changes are hard to enforce. There is always something more pressing, just look e.g. a

I'm aware that Brave is a for-profit company, this must not necessarily mean that they'll do evil things. And if they would and Mozilla is no longer around, this could also be because Google stopped funding them.

I never switched to Chrome, always used Firefox. But it increasingly got more config-involving to make FF do what I wanted and maybe I overdid some settings/plugins and websites started to show incorrectly. Also the imho (much) too hig
