Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?

Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.

They have similar licences.

NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0

OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.

It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

There are several apps and UIs that do this. Tesseract for one.

My wife had unbelievable pain in her feet, especially during pregnancy. We tried a lot of things before going to a foot doctor. It’s not necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, but they have a lot of neat toys that can analyze your individual foot and create custom insoles. It’s an easy investment in your health.

1. I like to own the stuff I buy.

2. I don’t want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.

3. I don’t want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.

Having come from zero knowledge, to now self-hosting for over a year, I can tell you that you just search for them one at a time. Sometimes they will make sense. Sometimes not yet.

Stick around here, ask questions, and look things up.

No, they already have Metapedia for that.

Great! Love this app!

Right now I’m using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you’re my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!

Marble? More like a yoga ball.

I just want my money back that I spent on a show that’s been “delayed” for a year and a half.

To the downvotes: this specifically bans religious dress. Don’t you think it’s a little too convenient that the majority religion is one that doesn’t incorporate any type of religious dress? This law is designed to have an outsized effect on people who wear a keffiyeh, yarmulke, hijab, or turban.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is just extending an already contentious, anti-religion law.

Statement from a Muslim civil rights group

Statement from a Jewish civil rights group

Statement from a Sikh civil rights group

That’s exactly what this is and has been a long-standing campaign.

So basically, no Muslims or Jews or Sikhs allowed? Doesn’t seem that great to me.

The voice recognition is honestly the best I’ve ever used. It’ll be a shame to give it up.

If I decide to switch keyboards, I’m certain I would go back to HeliBoard.

There’s been a real explosion of open source voice recognition over the past few months, and I haven’t tested a lot. Whisper+ looks like a promising one. Before using Futo, I used Sayboard, which I was pretty happy with.

Immich it licensed under AGPL 3 and the code is open - isn’t that FOSS?

I know some of their apps are licensed under a semi-open license of their own creation and that’s been touchy to say the least. But is it true to say that none of their apps are FOSS?

Wild animals are never “harmless.”

Deer have killed people. Birds have killed people.

Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company’s infrastructure.

You’ve just described the post-scarcity economy.

I think of the two possible trajectories as the Star Wars universe and the Star Trek universe. Both have fully automated supply chains through droids/replicator technology. However, in Star Wars, only the elite few have access to that technology. Hence, the economy is still centered around trade and, well, as the title would suggest — wars. In Star Trek, that technology is democratized and made available to everyone to create a world in which money has no meaning, and everyone has access to technology and meeting their basic needs.

It all depends on what kind of society we decide to build from here on out.
