Syncthing user of many years and a semi recent Nextcloud convert here.

Sc is very, very cool but you must sync both ways every time, so after some time, if your phone runs out of space, things get hard. The "do not erase on 'server'" setting is pretty well hidden and claimed not to be supported and can break things.

Also, for "one way sync", with super easy setup, i have not found an alternative for btsync (now called resilio). SC is too clunky to set up the client and in this case, running Nextcloud server + setting up clients is crazy complex. TIL about Unison and will try it out...

Fully agree! I self host and my family uses it. For them, there's no difference, except that when at home (99% of time), "our cloud" (Nextcloud) is much faster.

>It lies in the eye of the beholder what you consider a limitation. I invite you to look at the home page and compare what's available for free and what isn't and draw your conclusion then.

I tried to look, but you want me to evaluate your project by going through the manual and search for the "Pro" tag (as per your documentation [*]) while here you tell us "look at the home page".

Your project is great and your work is much appreciated,thank you for that. What I am seeking is clarity of the offering, because if I choose FBS for my floss project, I do not plan to pay 50€ for a hidden cost.

[*]

> Support for the latest versions of Python, PyQt6, PySide6 and PyInstaller.

> All features marked Pro in the Manual.

> fbs's source code is available on GitHub. You can use it for free in open source projects licensed under the GPL.

> The free version of fbs has several limitations. Upgrade to Pro to unlock its full potential. Upon purchase, you'll receive a hosted package that you can install just like fbs. No messing around with license keys. Just pip install and you are done.

So it is more like open core. This is fine, just not clear from the front "features" page listing.

Awesome, thank you very much, I will give it a spin!

I have been looking for a way to replace"singularity" (now called app-containers). Is it possible to use podman to run a cli program inside podman container and it would run the program in the container but use local files to work with?

Same story here, happy Linux user since the 90s... at home on family computers and at job. It's like choosing Netflix vs HBO Go - takes a few days to find your favorites, once you get it you are all set and don't worry anymore about the competition.

I simplified it to just:

- walk

And it has been amazing.

Exactly. Maybe not free but for a very small fee, compared to the HN popular options. And you might even get caldav and carddav (calendar and contact) sync included.

Are there ANY alternatives to the live traffic data that Google Maps or Waze collect and provide? I know how to get around but I want to make sure that I don't get stuck on the highway. I have been looking for an alternative for many years.

Thank you but no. The announcement of Gsuite free offering ending has finally pushed me over the edge. Six months ago I started playing with Nextcloud and when this Gsuite news broke, I finally migrated all emails, contacts, calendars, files... for the whole family and moved everyone to Nextcloud. On some phones I even removed the Google account completely. I use the Simple apps and DAVx, plus Fdroid for other apps. No more free data siphoning so easily to G. I hope more people do this and I wish them luck in their de-googling.

Export into vcard will cause loss of contact photos. Google takeout saves the photos as extra files (you don't want to have to re-add them manually). The easiest way to move contacts between accounts I have found is with cardbook for Thunderbird.

Some European hosting providers have quite reasonable tiers for hosting with email, contacts, calendar, for example:

Take the time to learn, it is absolutely worth it. Do not pay attention to the comments saying "you will be at some speed soon" as that's not your aim. Learn to type precisely with as little errors. It will take you several months to just learn the keys. That's fine, it's like coding, learning the slow and hard way, you are in it for the long game. Good luck!

You should put the NSFW at least here on HN.

This is cool and horrifying at the same time, just be very careful if you are trying such a thing.

We just had an initial support for VESC NRF/HM10 devices added into Gadgetbridge if this is of interest to anyone fascinated in this subject.

Setting my Firefox to search via DuckDuckGo years ago now leaves me just to read about these new dark patterns, rather than having to experience them in person. There is often much discussion about 'the quality of results od DDG' but back then after a few days I had no issues with DDG and now after a few years I find Google search results and layout just strange. Fully recommend.

The mcedit (editor from midnight commander) has been my choice of editor before I switched to vim. Thanks for the micro suggestion.

F-droid is a blessing and a curse. Many devs experience this 'F-droid catching up with releases' due to the manual signing process. The userbase is always confused about that. Reproducible builds are claimed to be the possible solution but almost nobody is doing that due to the complex setup.

This creates 'nice looking believable' images, but why do they also not show a comparison of the AI generated result with the hi-res original?

And while talking about Gitea, it is worth to mention Codeberg.

> "Too short to bother copying"? I copy single words of text to avoid typing and typos. I would never type out even a single line of code when I could paste and edit.

Very honest suggestion: learn how to touch type. You can still copy if needed, but your typed input will be much faster.

"The hospital reported one of the pilots (58) is in the intense care unit in critical condition, the other (50) received serious head injuries and multiple lacerations and is in serious condition."

Not a smooth landing in any way... Wishing them best of luck to recover.

I have a relative who has been spending years collecting data from archives and building historical maps of Ostrava, a city in Czech republic [1]. He built nine (9) time based layers (1860-1940). The amount of time and work this takes is just incredible.

He has been considering providing data to OHM, but obviously has not been convinced by this prospect yet, one of the reasons has been loss of control over his data, as there are academic institutions ready to snap this a put their name on it. It was already attempted.

I can imagine there are more researchers like this and the results of their work, all the data, is fragmented somewhere out there... and possibly lost.

> Possible misleading title. Apple wants 30% of earnings, not “creator” earnings.

"In writing and over the phone, we explained to Apple that we could pay them 30% of our revenues (from our 10% take rate). It'll be harder to cover costs and build features as a startup, but at least it'd be coming from us. Apple insisted on taking 30% of creators' total earnings."

It is also SAAS, only the client is opensourced, no way to selfhost.
