  • I don’t remember the details but there were several occasions

    1. The sync UX was so confusing that I set it up and deleted things on a unimportant device to make some room and that deleted it everywhere without me realizing it for some time so I lost those things forever. This is where I switched file syning to Syncthing.
    2. I ran it basically without apps only for syncing caldav and carddav and it took so many resources on my server that it constantly brought down the whole vhost with all other unrelated services and the UI was so slow I could only use it through the API from desktop and mobile clients. I then switched to the lightweight Radicals and deleted NextCloud which made space to many new services on the little Hetzner vhost.

    I haven’t seen self hosting small instances prioritized by NextCloud, I think it probably works very well on a beefy server for a lot of users, similar to Lemmy, but for one user instances it seems to not be well supported.




  • Why I like Android Auto:

    • I can plan my route on my phone at home and see the map on the big screen instead the little phone ui, or worse putting in the adress manually with the keyboard wheel in Korean instead of copy and pasting it from the Element chat
    • I already have all my music on my phone, I don’t want to copy and organize it again for hours in my car
    • I already have integration with many apps on my phone, I don’t want to set everything up again on the car, especially I can’t copy and paste my long ass passwords from my KeePassXC into the car and need to painstakingly put in every password with their clunky keyboard, if they even have a keyboard.

    I could go on forever. But as long as I can connect bluetooth and set up my phone somewhere so I can see the map while driving I’ll be OK. The worst part, at work what I do is car infotainment system software, but it never has any of the features I would want from a car.







  • Haha, yeah, although some of my hobbies slowed down a lot since I got a family. Small children really take up a lot of time.

    Today for example the 2.5 years old ate a lot of potato’s and schnitzel without really chewing. Then he drank a ton of milk after dinner. While his big sister already went to bed at 21:30 he was still jumping on the bed at 22:00 und suddenly he puked out everything on the bed. So we had to clean RhE bed, the floor, him and us, was everything, shower etc.

    Now it’s 23:00 and he is still excited about it and is singing in the freshly made bed instead of sleeping.

    Actually we wanted to watch a episode of some TV series bit now it’s way too late for this.
