Joplin via Dropbox (free account) is effortless and painless. I used to sync it via nextcloud and it always gave me issues. It has an iOS, Android, and Desktop app so why do you need Web Ui?
I went from Keepass synced via NextCloud (self hosted) for years... to trying out Bitwarden (their servers) and found the experience much better... then I switched to Vaultwarden via Docker going through Cloudflare Tunnel (with zero trust email authentication required) and fail2ban added. I'm content with the last option.
My exact first thought. And why not a billion BIG Red SIGNS saying shit like: "Collapsed Bridge ahead", "Warning: immediate death ahead", "What the fuck are doing?! Turn around", etc.
That's exactly what it was. If I wanted to wash money, the easiest way to do it would be to create some bullshit digital pic and then buy it myself from an alt dummy account.
I use localsend. Can send between my Android, iPhone, and Desktop easily. I also have a "Copy Paste" telegram group. When I send something to the group, it appears on all my devices. I kind of like this because I have a history of all my links, pics, files, etc and I can just do a search if I ever need to go back and find something. Also, Photosunc is like $6 a year and anytime I take a pic it auto backs it up to my desktop server via SMB.
You can use a flash drive now with thunderbolt to usb-c converter I believe.
I don't use any apple services except for iMessage, Facetime, and Apple Pay (to accept payments). So no iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Care, etc. None of that garbage.
I carry both. I've been doing it so long that when I have one and not the other, I feel naked. 2 phones and my Keys, everywhere I go.... except the gym. I only bring my iPhone then.
Sure no problem. You may be used to reddit. People are a bit nicer over here :)
I'm ditching my nextcloud as well. It's just way too bloated. I wish they offered a stripped down version with only the features you want to use.
