No judgement on what you’re doing online. In your case, don’t download untrusted files, stream where you can. For all users, whether on the black seas or not, you should as a matter of habit use uBlock Origin in your browser, turn on the filterlists for security, ads, annoyances in particular.

Looks interesting, bookmarking to try this out.

Is it fair to say Webmesh is your open source version of Nord VPN’s Meshnet? https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/

In your cloud sync app, you should be able to ask it to sync your camera folder - I know the nextcloud app asks if you want this, and you can also point it to specific folders to keep in sync.

If your self host cloud doesn’t have an app, just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full to sync chosen folders.

Ahhh, just found this in the FAQ, sadly I think it’s not possible to backup app data using Shizuku.

https://swiftapps.org/faq#appparts

"The private app data in /data/data/ or /data/user/*/ that stores your app preferences, login info, databases, etc. This is the most important part to restore apps potentially with their state preserved.

Requirements: ⚠️ Root required for backup & restore ⚠️ Shizuku mode (ADB access) cannot read/write at these path"

Hold up… So are you saying that I could use Shizuku / Swiftbackup, and it would do backup and restore of app data, just like when I used to have root and Titanium Backup?! That would be a game changer, I never fully trusted Google backups or Samsung Smart Switch to do the full job.

Apple Mac: it juuuuuust works.

“Id like an email client with folders or categories.”

I tried a few other email clients to see if I could ditch the gmail one (years ago, admittedly), and where those clients fell short for me was they didn’t support labels, only folders. Multiple labels can apply to one email, but an email can only belong in one folder.

Does anyone know if things have changed, whether third party clients now support gmail labels?

The ability of my Google Home gadgets to correctly understand speech drops sharply whenever there’s a promo on them - I imagine the influx of new speech patterns from new users tanks the recognition/parsing systems at Google.

Is that a unique address at the same domain, or even the domains are unique?

Randomised user names

Password manager

Randomised words for any website that asks for memorable info (mother’s maiden name, first pet’s name, etc) for security. Always gets a laugh from customer services.

False birth date.

As others have commented, Nextcloud provide an all-in-one docker set up. I managed to follow the instructions and get it working.

However, in the end, I wanted this to replace my Dropbox subscription, and my files and reliable access to them are important to me. Given that, and my relatively low skill level, I didn’t want to futz with troubleshooting failed updates and server issues, so I just went with a Hetzner storage share, which is their managed nextcloud subscription: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share

I had the same problem - this extension saved my RAM: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/

Abolishing IP is all fun until you decide to be a producer, innovator, or creator. Hope you can pay for your groceries with likes and thumbs ups.

Isn’t that the point of full disk encryption, to make sure you’re authorised to boot? That at least is the behaviour on a Mac if you enable full disk encryption. Or do you mean every time you wake it from sleep?

I love weawow! Agreed about making a regular donation to the Weawow dev… or it’ll face the curse of other top, rated free apps - the developer has tons of users, dealing with all their support requests, and can’t make a living from it, then rightly sells up to some sh!tty company who then turns the app to shite. Yes, that’s the story of the legendary Quickpic app.
