No judgement on what you’re doing online. In your case, don’t download untrusted files, stream where you can. For all users, whether on the black seas or not, you should as a matter of habit use uBlock Origin in your browser, turn on the filterlists for security, ads, annoyances in particular.

www.collaboraoffice.com/nextcloud/ sounds like what you’re looking for. I’ve not tried it myself as I actually like the Google docs/sheets etc offering.
Hey guys, Im looking for solution to change default save path from /DCIM/Camera to another folder (that syncs with selfhosted cloud). I tried 2 versions of gcam, opencamera and few apps from play store, but cant find a way how to change save path. I also want to use non google galery, enjoying simple galery pro atm....
In your cloud sync app, you should be able to ask it to sync your camera folder - I know the nextcloud app asks if you want this, and you can also point it to specific folders to keep in sync.
Back in the day - rooting Android phones and installing custom ROMs were such a big part of Android. I remember so well using titanium backup and Greenify and Cyanogenmod and the list goes on....
Hold up… So are you saying that I could use Shizuku / Swiftbackup, and it would do backup and restore of app data, just like when I used to have root and Titanium Backup?! That would be a game changer, I never fully trusted Google backups or Samsung Smart Switch to do the full job.
“The private app data in /data/data/ or /data/user/*/ that stores your app preferences, login info, databases, etc. This is the most important part to restore apps potentially with their state preserved.
Requirements: ⚠️ Root required for backup & restore ⚠️ Shizuku mode (ADB access) cannot read/write at these path”

“Id like an email client with folders or categories.”
I tried a few other email clients to see if I could ditch the gmail one (years ago, admittedly), and where those clients fell short for me was they didn’t support labels, only folders. Multiple labels can apply to one email, but an email can only belong in one folder.
Does anyone know if things have changed, whether third party clients now support gmail labels?
SEO has made it incredibly hard to find answers without getting spammed by news and blog sites. Places like ask Lemmy help democratize answers through upvotes and downvotes so the quality is higher....
Perplexity.ai has largely replaced Google and Bing for me. It searches the Internet (including reddit), asks for clarification if necessary, then summarises it all with sources cited. The free tier currently gives 5x gpt4 copilot searches per rolling 4 hours. Like most ai chat, it’s less of a search engine, and more an ‘answer’ engine.
As for q and a, reddit, though you’ll have to filter the funny / misleading comments out. Quora is just weird, I don’t like the vibe there.
The Google Maps app for Android has, for years now, had the same old voice input that’s slow and not as accurate as Google’s latest offerings. Finally that’s changing, as Google Maps is rolling out a new voice input experience powered by Google Assistant.
The ability of my Google Home gadgets to correctly understand speech drops sharply whenever there’s a promo on them - I imagine the influx of new speech patterns from new users tanks the recognition/parsing systems at Google.
There are more efficient formats like JPEG-XL, HEIF and WebP. If you convert the RAW -> JPEG -> WebP you are losing more quality. I think iPhone uses HEIF format....
Randomised words for any website that asks for memorable info (mother’s maiden name, first pet’s name, etc) for security. Always gets a laugh from customer services.
I imagine that there are far fewer people who use RSS now than there were 10 years ago. The rise of social media and shorter attention spans may have something to do with that. Personally, I’m in the RSS cult, using Tiny Tiny RSS.
As others have commented, Nextcloud provide an all-in-one docker set up. I managed to follow the instructions and get it working.
However, in the end, I wanted this to replace my Dropbox subscription, and my files and reliable access to them are important to me. Given that, and my relatively low skill level, I didn’t want to futz with troubleshooting failed updates and server issues, so I just went with a Hetzner storage share, which is their managed nextcloud subscription: www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share

Isn’t that the point of full disk encryption, to make sure you’re authorised to boot? That at least is the behaviour on a Mac if you enable full disk encryption. Or do you mean every time you wake it from sleep?
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
Reassuring to see the love for Swype in here. I’m still using Swype on Android. I’ve tried many other keyboards, gboard comes closest but still lacks some of the quality of life little features from Swype.
Keyboard69 (the android version of nintype) was wild. I loved the visuals, but the learning curve put me off sadly. I wish the dev had stuck to it, it really was the keyboard of the future, way ahead of its time.
