100% agree. I’ve only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I’m loving the experience so far.
1·2 days agoSame here. I really like it.
It’s absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.
That’s quite a leap, isn’t it? When China has demonstrably expressed intent in data mining the world.
Plenty more examples if you look even briefly.
3·3 days agoFallout 76. Got hooked after watching the show and went through the previous 3d games back to back. Also bought Undertale but haven’t fully committed to that one yet.
I’ve been using Duplicacy and like it. Everything backs up to my server via Seafile (files) and Immich (photos). Then Duplicacy has a couple of B2 buckets it backs everything up to. Seems to work pretty well so far.
I’ve tried numerous terminal based backups like restic and Borg, but my newb brain still needs a GUI I guess. I’ve seen various UIs for those last 2 but haven’t tried them yet.
Now with free spyware/backdoor!
1·4 days agoI agree. I’m this case it works out for me since I’m under the 3 user limit.
I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.
Came to say the same. Unlike Syncthing, it all syncs to the server and only downloads to your various devices when you want it to. Vital for my small SSD on MacBook Pro. Syncthing can do similar but requires individually selecting files and folders to ignore, which I did not want to do.
What’s crazy is that I tried NC on my server, which is a HP Microserver G8 hosting 13 total services. And it ran like crap. Tried the standard and AIO versions. On a whim tried NextcloudPi on a Pi4 and it has been awesome! Web interface is still pretty sluggish but I use apps that sync to NC most of the time like:
- Quillpad for Google Keep type notes and checklists
- Floccus for bookmarks sync
- Deck for Kanban
- Gnome online accounts for desktop and laptop connection with documents
So far it’s been flawless. I doubt it would run well with more than a few users though.
You can get a free Seafile Pro license if you create an account with them. Limited to 3 users, iirc. That’s what I’ve been running and really using it to keep stuff on phone, desktop, and laptop reachable from any of the devices. I love it.
I played a little bit last night and had a bit of difficulty avoiding things with my “heart”. Do you use the analog stick or the touchpad? I’ll have to play with control settings tonight and see if I can not die so fast. :)
I haven’t! I’m excited to see what’s in store.
1·12 days agoOoh, I lost track of that one. I remember seeing the trailer but it was at least a year ago and completely forgot about it. I’ll definitely check it out!
Micro Mages is so good!
I’m using Netguard. You can block specific apps without requiring root access.
I have. it’s a solid resource. Was mostly hoping to some specific homebrew games to try before buying.
Yes, and…? Did I claim otherwise anywhere? Privacy isn’t a zero sum game. You cant fully protect yourself short of ditching tech and the Internet entirely. And even then, there’s already a digital footprint left behind you’ll never get rid of. But you can make informed choices like not trusting Google or Microsoft to host your personal data, not buying the smart home devices, keeping data local only/host your own cloud, use Linux instead of Windows, etc.
