The shiny one you have will be old in a few years

Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.

Yeah, it’s still much better than the long one I have now. Have you seen Unihertz brand btw? They have some small but thick ones too.

Yeah I’m aware that times have changed, which doesn’t mean I don’t remember how it was to have a phone which comfortably fits in a pocket with other stuff. Like HTC Desire or Galaxy S2.

Thicc!

Look like it has everything that matters, sd card, 3.5mm jack, a good battery, and a recent OS version.

6.2" as a compact phone, huh. My 5.8" feels like a pocket TV

KeePassXC is free though

Replacing gmail with a $1/mo account is where they draw the line for paid subscriptions

It just works, there’s no “how”. Take one of the devices outside, connect to the internet, done.

Unless you live a very dynamic lifestyle that requires your calendar to be 24/7 synced, you can just use whatever server software you like, make it listen in LAN only, and have your devices sync when they’re at home.

DecSyncCC and Syncthing is another option.

Maybe use a filesystem and syncthing this way? https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync

Or you could use the free tier of some PaaS like
https://render.com/docs/free if you prefer a traditional approach. Just remember to make backups, if it’s free it can disappear at any time.

Install dovecot and set up your email client to connect to it. Email is trivial if you’re not sending to other hosts.

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I’m back at 29

I used to have a HTC phone with a physical camera button, it was great

So it’s like Seren, but for Android instead of Kodi, and with a mandatory server part?

I had it on a beefy server too. Glad that it works for you, every nextcloud thread on social media has a discussion like ours.

And, to offer something positive too: I like Photoprism, it’s very fast, browsing old photos just works with no extra delay, there’s search by date, location, tags, even face detection.

And you don’t have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors? Nextcloud doesn’t open 15 seconds on the computer? Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

I gave up on my personal self-hosted instance a long ago, and at work we use commercially hosted Nextcloud and have to get a new account ~yearly because it slows down like Windows 95 when data accumulates.

Nextcloud has so many bugs when you store a lot of files, and photos on a phone accumulate to a big number. Both their Android app and server doesn’t deal with a few years’ worth of photos.
