It does seem snappier. But damn, I've come to love Fastmail's all-in-one app. Having calendar, notes, contacts and files all in the email app is something I didn't realize I'd care about but not sure I can do without now.

Where do you like to find them? I looked at the Megathread, but couldn't really find a retro-centric source.

I love Vimm's Lair and have used it a bunch. Only reason I didn't start there this time is I want a new build for a Pi 5 and boy, Vimm's is slooooooow. Great project and service offered though.

I was mostly worried about coming across some junk roms that won't play, etc. But that's probably not so common.

Good point. I think you're right. I suppose that way I can cut out some of the junk roms I'll never play. Good call.

That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn't click for my smooth brain. I'll have to try this.

I did hear about that. But haven't tried it yet. I'll check it out, thanks!

I tried both. Proton email client on Android at least was awful. Super sluggish to navigate. In fact I have a chunk of credit with them because I cancelled too late to get a refund. No idea what I'm going to do with that. I already have a VPN and a Pwd manager...

Fastmail has been snappy and I like that the app has a notes section for quick jotting of ideas. I also like that Rclone can attach directly to Fastmail files. They just recently added Proton Drive support too though.

See? This is why I asked. I figured if nothing else, someone would have a better idea than what I've been trying! That totally works! I'll have to try it more to see if it can do what I want. Thanks!

EDIT: yep, this idea works!

That looks promising! Thank you.

I suppose you're right. But I've got this neat tablet here and I wanna use it! That and I want to do this on multiple projects, not just this example.

That makes sense, I'll have to try that. It would be a silhouette of said chicken. Thanks!

How incredibly timely!

I'll have to give it a go with a copy of my vault.

Coming back to this, I just realized I have Seafile syncing my Obsidian vault already. I know you said you're using it for Backup, but have you tried to use it as the only sync solution for Obsidian? I like it so much because of how fast it is, so if it works well, I may just do that once my membership expires.

Excellent points. I haven't tried it yet, but the app Hermit has sandboxing as well and creates PWA-type apps out of websites. I've been using it for self hosted services that don't have and Android app component to them. Works reasonably well but I'm not trying to hide info....from myself :)

Ah Kijiji was the other app I was trying to think of. These are good points. It really is frustrating that so many have migrated to using Marketplace instead of the alternatives.

So your vote is "no"? Got it.

Lol, no question I'm privileged in that regard. We do have half the state burn during the hottest parts of the summer, so can't use it then. And an overzealous neighbor who likes to burn yard waste on the nicest days of the spring/summer, if that makes you feel better. :)

I've shit-talk NC so much on here and other forums but for some reason kept feeling compelled to try to make it work. I've tried a few of the Community Docker templates available on Unraid "store" as well as AIO. I've had issues with all of them. Then gave NextcloudPi a try on a spare Pi 4 (installed a SSD as boot instead of microSD) and it works much better. It's still much slower than I think it should be, but this version is far and away more responsive than the others.

Seafile is a beast of an app that syncs and performs incredibly fast. Some folks won't use it due to the git-like chunks it parses your data into on the server end (this is what accounts for the speed from what I've read). I understand the concerns in that regard, but I still like it and I have my own way to mitigate that concern.
