I've never heard of crypt.ee till today, but wow is it amazing for all my document editing needs. Thank you!

They understand why I am passionate about selfhosting and privacy but they still have a reasonable expectation that things just work.

That's somewhat where my head is at too at the moment. I do want to go the privacy route but I do also want something where it can "just work" (hence why I'm looking closely at third party solutions like entee and filen or proton drive). I do care about privacy, but having all the creature comforts that companies like Google has provided is still a bit difficult to let go.

Sync will stop once I close the app.

This is an iOS limitation, so no going around that unfortunately.

Looks like they did open a US data center, but the storage shares are still Germany & Norway.

I might still give it a shot, it's not a large commitment so might be good to try.

I'd say like 65% backup, 35% share/collaboration. It's why this simple decision has become unnecessarily complex for me haha. I want a balance of privacy, yet I want the ease of access and user-friendliness of Dropbox.

From this thread, I think ente is partly perfect for my needs. I've been trying out filen and it's been quite good, but I might stick with Dropbox till the Proton mac app launches and see how it is.

Might end up just doing NC + storej, though. Many have said NC has improved significantly as of late so it might be worth a look at once more.

This actually seems like a very cohesive solution, might try it out!

Wouldn't mapping it directly to truenas be somewhat slow especially if I'm always on the go? My Truenas server is at at home while I dorm on campus, so I'm not sure if it would work out well. Plus, I've had a lot of issues with truenas + my hardware which led to me keeping this server mostly down over the last year or so. Everything seems stable and works fairly well now, but just airing on the side of caution.

Does NC photos have tagging? Auto-tagging is why I've always been with Google Photos tbh, an alternative would be nice though.

That said, my mac is mostly code, some emulation related stuff (thus the 10 gb limit of tresoit being annoying for me), and some documents/notes. My media is already self-hosted on jellyfin which works great atm, but I have it on my dropbox as well right now.

I'm curious, are there any ways to just not backup directories in a .gitignore type of way? I started trying out filen and this single feature is just very very compelling for me

I haven't used NC in a while but the improvements seem good at first glance!

Sorry, but could you elaborate? Is there a specific way or thing you do to sync to azure?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I'm assuming this would cost a fair bit then? Also, what do you use to sync the files from your devices to the servers?

I've been wanting to move away from Dropbox for a long while, but I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement. Dropbox has always been super convenient and has just worked for me.

I've tried Tresoit but the low link sharing limits (2gb) and 10gb limit for files is somewhat of a deal breaker for me. I've been interested in Proton Drive for a while, but until their mac app is ready it's unusable for me.

I've also tried self-hosting a nextcloud instance (multiple times) but I've always just had too many issues with it. It's been inconsistent in actually backing up files from my mac, I've had so many file conflicts, etc. I have a truenas scale server, so if there are other self-hosted methods I should try let me know.

Currently, I'm looking at filen and sync.com, but I've heard both have their issues so I'm curious to hear everyones thoughts on them as well.

Thanks!

It’s wild because Bing is generally quite good now, but I switched away from it recently because it kept trying to advertise edge…

Meanwhile edge tries to advertise “pay later” schemes and really gets in your face about bing…

Yeah I've looked through the website and it seems pretty good. I think being able to use it with vanilla React is really appealing to me, especially because (if I'm not mistaken) I can use any normal library I'm familiar with (such as tailwind)?

For a personal project, I’m not exactly sure how to decide between cross-platform mobile frameworks (e.g. React Native, Ionic, Flutter, etc.).

I know a lot of it is use-case based, so as an example consider a highly simplified social media with creating posts with text and photo, editing your profile, and viewing/following others. What works best here and why?

For my project, I do have a web app as well built using NextJS, and I have a decent amount of experience with React. I’ve also used Flutter in the past and found it pretty easy to work with, but I’ve never tried my other options.

As far as I’m aware, most people generally recommend staying away from Ionic? I’m not exactly sure why that is or if that’s just an old sentiment.

Thanks!
