Can someone ELI5? What is the problem that this solves?

It looks like in this case the answer was a little deeper than a simple search, but no worries - you set me in the right direction. I’ll add the solution to the post.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Lol. Thank you. Part of the frustration of being a beginner in any space is that it’s not easy to discern which questions have simple answers and which are more complicated.

From the search you linked, it looks like this is as simple as typing the command

docker logs

I’ll give that a try, once I have access to the server again.

Where do I find that information? What is the exact command that I should type?

I use it for a while. I really liked the RSS feed reader

I don’t remember why I stopped but I think I maybe had some stability issues?

There is apparently a way to set up a bridge that will allow you to access it, but that sounds like an awful lot of work. It also requires connecting to a PC running the software, and I would imagine it affects the security of the messaging (which may be the reason to choose proton mail in the first place).

Most Android phones also have an extra dim mode. Any phone with an OLED screen will give you true blacks (including the s23).

I’ve always had good experiences with Samsung phones in terms of durability.

It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.

Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.

Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.

Anyone used this successfully? I couldn’t get it to do much useful

If you need something more universal, you should try a file share service with linking like Dropbox. I know it’s not ideal to replace Google with another paid service, but it is the other option.

Either both people have to have the same app to exchange the file (which if you want something common, means Google, Apple, Samsung, etc), or both people access a server to share large files.

Proton offers file sharing, too.

Such a promising form factor, killed by Microsoft ineptitude.

I never had that issue. Sorry to hear that. I did prefer it when it was lockwise. Having a standalone app was easier to use IMHO but I understand why they integrated it

Not sure why people are downvoting you, you’re right.

Here’s the announcement from over 2 years ago.

They are the same. It is the same app. They have announced that they will keep both K9 and Thunderbird in parallel, but the underlying program is the same - it will be only a cosmetic difference. This has to do with app IDs and user preferences, etc.

Here is the K9 Beta that is the same version as the new Thunderbird (beta) app. You are just switching from the beta back to the release.

Edit: sorry link was missing: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/releases/tag/K9MAIL_8_0b1

Thunderbird team has been developing K9 for years now. This step is a small iteration from a technical point, but significant in that they feel it is stable and complete enough to put their name on.

Thunderbird is technically part of Mozilla but as far as I can tell, they are funded and operate pretty much independently from the browser and other parts of the org.

It is identical. They’ve said that they will continue to release them in parallel with different branding. This has to do with users’ preferences, but also with certain downstream things like network trust and store requirements.

True, but most orgs and devs would take the reliable monthly income rather than an unpredictable infusion every two years. If it’s a massive donor base, maybe those things even out. For smaller, active projects, I don’t mind giving a percentage to the bank knowing that they can rely on my donations every month. The larger annual gifts are usually reserved for orgs like clinics, food banks, and community institutions that can handle the fluctuations.

Not specifically software, but I divide my donations into three categories - for my budget, that’s basically the $10-20 range, the $20-500 range, and $500-2000. I track the donations I make over the year, with a target in mind. For me, the target is 10% of income.

I decide which organizations are doing the most important work, and prioritize those. I try to donate monthly to those that I make use of regularly, then I give the rest as what comes up from day to day.

I consider free software to be a social good, so I don’t separate it from other giving.
