What do you do you with a big batch? Saving some for later or just gorge on sautéed unions?

The NC app (and DAVx5 contacts and calendar sync for that matter) do provide a WebDAV mount point on android so I suppose I could access content directly. And someone mentioned there’s DAV support in some clients as well. Perhaps I’m just overly worried about losing access, with Syncthing the files are on my device no matter if my self-hosted home solution or internet goes down.

But the no-server cloud function of Syncthing is absolutely a killer feature. And very important as a simple and easy privacy solution for inexperienced users IMO. I was hoping for a better windows solution, not a deprecation of device support.

Speaking of servers, I also run a Syncthing server so I can sync files without having two user devices online at the same time. Syncthing natively support encryption at rest (files on disk) so it satisfies my absolute demand of never storing unencrypted personal files on a server. Even if the server is disk encrypted, in my own home and only accessibly through VPN…

Encrypted password database in encrypted storage on an encrypted storage only accessibly by encrypted connection via an encrypted connection… Maybe I’m overdoing it. Who am I kidding, I’d get a rottweiler to guard my home server if I could.

Fair point. Does it cache the database for when one’s of the grid?

Consider yourself lucky, I feel the pain of seeing the end of years of a loving relationship.

I’ve used both. NC android app doesn’t sync and one needs to host the entire platform. When using generic webDAV one still needs a dedicated sync solution.

I self host NC and still prefer SyncThing for keeping my KeePass database updated and fresh across devices.

RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.

Fair enough.

But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications…

What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?

Some are easier than others…

Have you ever said it and it turned out to be someone calling the wrong number? Are you ever worried she’ll flip it on you and conspire with a friend to have them call you on her phone?

You’re playing a dangerous game, friend.

For interface unity I use Voyager in Chrome’s web app functionality, it’s nice to have the same interface. The last multi platform Lemmy app was Liftoff which was really nice but it’s dead.

Lemmy in a tab in Firefox, no matter the front end is so… I want the sleek experience dang it!

Firefox, give web app functionality on desktop!

What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?

Damn engagers, ruining it for the rest of us.

WW3 have that unblockable Presidential Alert emergency notification. There’s no escape. 😔

Unless one disabled the correct system APK through ADB of course.

At that point why not just disallow it from running in the background?

Issue #363 - My phone notified me about an add

Issue #366 - My phone have notified me about ads twice

Issue #372 - My phone have notified me about ads three times

That’s the good stuff.

I know what you mean. I’m self-hosting and use https://relay.fedi.buzz/ to subscribe to hashtags from all over the fedimicroblogosphere. It’s literally too much interesting content, I kept scrolling new stuff for hours and had to cut down on what tags I subscribed to. It’s like that Lemmy explorer but for microblogging.

I think a reasonable admin should be open to using the service to populate the federated timeline with niché content users ask for.

The only downside is “catch all”-tags and people abusing tags. “Hey #fediverse, check out my XYZ!”. No, I want fediverse news dang it!

But the dev stuff? Yeah.

Sure, but I think it’s better to make people think of Minecraft style gameplay than Lua programming when mentioning the name.

Not a fan of the name. So it’s a lua game? Ok.

It’s better than the Linux Mint support forums that blocks VPN users and the power users just deny that they’re blocking VPN users.
