Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?

Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.

They have similar licences.

NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0

OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.

It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

1. I like to own the stuff I buy.

2. I don’t want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.

3. I don’t want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.

Having come from zero knowledge, to now self-hosting for over a year, I can tell you that you just search for them one at a time. Sometimes they will make sense. Sometimes not yet.

Stick around here, ask questions, and look things up.

Great! Love this app!

Right now I’m using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you’re my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!

Do you mean something like this?

Being unable to use zelle, CashApp, etc has been the biggest single frustration of switching to GrapheneOS.

I found it in the F-Droid app, although it looks like at the moment it’s just in the IzzyOnDroid repo. I’m not up to speed on the ideological differences between the repos, but I know many apps are available on both and IzzyOnDroid is often a little quicker to add apps. It just showed up there this month, so who knows?

Yes, you can use your own image/s if you choose.

It was a really excellent keyboard.

Most launchers have an adjustment period, so it’s not just you. Some are more customizable than others and some are build around a more rigid design philosophy.

You might also want to have a look at Lawnchair, which is designed to be a more “stock” experience, but with some additional customizations.

I’ve been using Kvaesisto as my daily, which is a nice hybrid of the drawer-style launchers and search-based launchers. It’s coded from the ground up, has an impressive number of integrations, themed widgets that slide out of sight, etc.

KISS launcher is the original and still the best of the search based launchers. Okay, I have no idea if it is really the original, but it’s been around for over a decade now, and still has an active development community. It’s been forked hundreds of times into similar projects which add some additional features, but if you want a minimal launcher that gets out of your way, then this is what you’re looking for.

A similar, minimal style launcher is OLauncher, which has also been around for a few years and has been forked like crazy.

One of the best traditional drawer-style launchers is Lawnchair, which has sprung back to life after a hiatus from updating. It’s built on the Android launcher, with lots of additional customizations.

I don’t know of any current project that approaches the maximal customization philosophy of Nova Launcher. It was really one of a kind. All of the above are FOSS, but even in the closed software space, I don’t think there is anything like Nova.

Also, you will need to do some preprocessing of your files before importing to immich. Something like this to fix the metadata. I can’t remember which one I used, because there are a few out there.

Well, you won’t like it. If you have very fast internet and a managed downloader, then you may be able to get all of the files. Google seems to throttle the speeds to make large takeouts almost impossible to download in the limited time allowed.

For this size of download, your best option is to get a subscription to a compatible service (Dropbox, etc.) To transfer the files, which will happen much more quickly than downloading yourself. Then download the files from that service at your leisure, and then cancel the service.

It’s pretty backwards, but it’s really the best option for large takeouts (over 5 gigs or so).

Seems outdated. Maybe submit an update if it is bothering you. That’s the beauty of community led software.

Fixed! Sorry about that.

It is definitely worth a shot for anyone looking for this type of app! It is really great.

I personally did not find KDE connect on Windows to be a good solution for me. I had a lot of connection instability, high battery usage, and lack of additional features.

KDE Connect does have some neat features like connecting via bluetooth, or using your phone as a remote mouse/keyboard. Those are not relevant to me, but could be just what someone is looking for.

Huh, odd. I’m using it on Firefox and no issues whatsoever. I don’t have chrome on any device.

Where does it say it’s dependent on Chrome?

I’ve found radicale more stable in my implementation, but both are very good and are pretty similar to use.

If you already have NextCloud/OwnCloud it would be a good to use the Calendar that is already built in, but it doesn’t make sense to install those for a calendar when there are better options available.
