OPUS is such a delightful format I transcoded my FLACs just for fun.

The worst cyber crime of them all, denying multi-national megacorps of the potential but unlikely revenue of several dollars! ๐Ÿ‘ฎ

Nobody could ever trust .su domains, it's always been a hive of scum and villainy. No joke, it's been notorious for scamming and various cyber crime, which is a shame since it's a great novelty domain.

After browsing comments on this post I think there's awful people on basically all instances.

Would you agree it's a good thing to avoid US software as they've incorporated secret surveillance into law through letters of national security to private companies?

And by extension, perhaps even shunning US citizens?

Microsoft has incredibly been doing stuff I'd consider unlikely just a decade ago. They're at the point where I go "unlikely but far from impossible. Likely in a while".

100% of my self-hosted projects are run exclusively by my recurrent donations.

Good thing nobody's asking about what I've donated to the software projects I'm using to self-host.

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.
