  • I didn’t mention syncthing, but I also use it for my obsidian vault and other small files that I want backed up. I think my ebooks are on there too. But what I’m really using nextcloud for is to offload large files so that my phone storage doesn’t fill up – but keep my files where I can easily download them when i want. Primarily audio books.

    Also, my audio book player is not great for finding files when there are many. (Smart Audio Player) so I can only keep a handful but can easily download anything I’m missing from local storage.


  • Nextcloud hosts whatever kind of files. IRS like a Google Drive, One Drive, Box, etc. I use it primarily for my audio book collection so that it doesn’t use up all of my phone space.

    The issue is that nextcloud sometimes behaves in an unexpected way with file changes initiated on Android. Sometimes large files (like audio book files) placed into my phones local nextcloud folder don’t automatically upload to the server. I have to do extra steps in the app. It seems to work as expected with small files. From what I understand/interpret the file access API is not a favorable design for supporting an external (non-google ) cloud service. OE Nextcloud just doesn’t care about Android.


  • I host nextcloud and Immich on an old laptop to replace google drive and photos respectively. Very nice, but nextcloud syncing with android is annoying. Looking for alternatives there. Self hosted is a requirement.

    Hosting nextcloud also lets me sync my calendar and contacts completely on my own hardware too. I use davx5 to sync with the Fossify calendar app on my phone because I like it better than the nextcloud app.











  • Omg when they had the the lawyers at Afro mans trial ask about this song when questioning the ex. Wife of one of the cops – I don’t even know. Its a gloriously hilarious moment. The lawyers are so uncomfortable saying wet ass pussy in court. And they completely miss the message, which the lady thinks about mentioning when answering before she realizes what they’re trying to get at and just goes with it. (IIRC she was the only defense for AM besides himself). A second lawyer later can’t say it. Hilarious.
