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.

There are several apps and UIs that do this. Tesseract for one.

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!

Marble? More like a yoga ball.

You’ve just described the post-scarcity economy.

I think of the two possible trajectories as the Star Wars universe and the Star Trek universe. Both have fully automated supply chains through droids/replicator technology. However, in Star Wars, only the elite few have access to that technology. Hence, the economy is still centered around trade and, well, as the title would suggest — wars. In Star Trek, that technology is democratized and made available to everyone to create a world in which money has no meaning, and everyone has access to technology and meeting their basic needs.

It all depends on what kind of society we decide to build from here on out.

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.

I’m not scrolling through the thread to police people. I’m just responding to you as one person to another. I’m certainly not trying to shut you up.

I didn’t call you or anyone else in this thread a tankie, because I actually agree with the premise that Lemmy could benefit from a more collaborative culture. I’m not identifying and harping on which political issues we disagree on here, because there are plenty of other threads on Lemmy for that.

I’m just letting you know that I honestly believe that you and I are on the same side. We agree on 90% of the most important issues in the world right now. I don’t think there is any daylight between us when it comes to Trump or unions or healthcare or LGBTQ+ or protecting online speech or most other things. I don’t consider you an enemy at all, and I hope you think the same about me. We can and should (and have) discuss when we disagree on threads related to topics where we differ.

Neglecting the majority of topics where we support one another does not benefit us, Lemmy, or the world.

No one here brought up the Democratic Party or genocide except you.

This is a post about division on Lemmy.

You actually don’t have to demonstrate that. You can choose to find common ground in the culture of the platform and save the division for matters that are important to you in the communities that discuss them. That’s up to you, friend.

I’m going to go right now into your history and upvote every comment of yours I agree with

Edit: I found a few dozen from recent weeks. We agree on more than you think. Many I’d already upvoted.

(Case in point)

Right wingers will be like, “Well he’s racist but we agree on taxes and the gays so he’s all right with me.”

Left wingers will be like, “We disagree on one of the 100 most important issues to me, therefore you are my enemy!”

Fantastic. Looks like there are a few that people have spun up. Thanks!

This is great! I may get back into this. Does anyone know if there is a directory of instances?
