I use linux too and used a Windows 7 VM, not because I couldn’t borrow a Windows computer, but because they don’t ship MSIE any more.

I use it and like its UI but it doesn’t properly support offline, you can just download single tracks. By proper offline support I mean something like Audinaut, which unfortunately doesn’t work in new Android versions

Thanks for the Wikipedia article. Can you quote or paraphrase the first sentence?

I like to leave ssh over tor hidden service on remote boxes. It’s pretty resilient and can serve as emergency access for when something happens to the VPN. Not a great primary access method because of the latency.

Looks like there is a simple way now, yay! https://blog.diego.dev/posts/firefox-sync-server/

If I recall correctly they used some exotic database that is made for multi tenant cloud environments and scales up really well, but does not scale down too much. I’ve seen some article where a guy managed to set it up locally but it was a long one, and the result was resource hungry. But, again, my knowledge may be outdated

Just look at the setup docs. First they tell you to setup mysql and then this nugget

The correct way to authenticate with Spanner is by generating an OAuth token and pointing your local application server to the token. In order for this to work, your Google Cloud account must have the correct permissions; contact the Ops team to ensure the correct permissions are added to your account.

Syncserver was what OP was asking for, I used it and it was great while it worked. The rust rewrite is almost impossible to self-host, at least as of a year ago there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.

Nice idea but: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

It seems to be some kind of AI that polishes your writing style, helps change tone of the text etc.

Anybody tried this Spotnet thing in practice? How do the results rank vs centralized indexers?

It just works, there’s no “how”. Take one of the devices outside, connect to the internet, done.

Yeah, it’s absolutely the same. I hope you’ll experience it one day.

No, it’s called a ration stamp

What if a country has money but you also need monthly issued talons to get most goods?

Unless you live a very dynamic lifestyle that requires your calendar to be 24/7 synced, you can just use whatever server software you like, make it listen in LAN only, and have your devices sync when they’re at home.

DecSyncCC and Syncthing is another option.

Maybe use a filesystem and syncthing this way? https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync

Or you could use the free tier of some PaaS like
https://render.com/docs/free if you prefer a traditional approach. Just remember to make backups, if it’s free it can disappear at any time.

Install dovecot and set up your email client to connect to it. Email is trivial if you’re not sending to other hosts.

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I’m back at 29

“Why does my fucking light not turn on, do i need to add yet another repeater or do i need to reset slzbw-06 yet again” kind of problems

Also at some point i discovered nothing at all works because homeassistant decided to give my network a new identity so I needed to pair everything again. My fault for not having this backed up, but it’s not something that should happen in a system that’s “worry free”.
