  • Nextcloud it just too heavy I totally agree, and everything feels slow and sluggish.

    For just files I use Syncthing and couldn’t be happier, it just works in the background without a central server just syncs the files between phones, PCs and laptops by itself. I set it up like 5 years ago when I had enough of Nextcloud and to be honest most of the time I forget that I have it, but I use it every day to sync my password database for KeePassXC, my music, my private and work documents between all my devices.


  • Here in Korea there are so called Kids Cafes which are basically indoor playgrounds where you pay an entrance fee. There are often quite many children different ages and we take our kids there sometimes.

    The more obvious one would be just the normal public playground, check when other kids usually are there and join them. If you do it regularly you will find that there are more or less the same children there at the same time.

    But the biggest problem for the child in first day Kindergarten is that their parent suddenly disappears, over time they get used to it bit even after years in Kindergarden there are days where they don’t want to go :D


  • You’re misunderstanding what I wrote, because:

    People leave the platform: “I don’t get why this upsets anyone, it’s his platform”.

    Is exactly the opposite of what I was trying to say with:

    he is not forcing you to use his platform

    you can just leave, there are so many alternatives available, if you don’t then you are part of the problem, giving him power and putting more money into his pockets. In fact you should have seen the writing on the wall many years ago and latest when he bought it.

    Being upset about this now after he did so many worse things is just silly.





  • It’s just a drop in the ocean, but I set up a family calendar and I put in everything I come across which needs to be dealt with into it and we both can see it in our phones and on the morning dashboard in the living room. I ask my wife to also populate it which she occasionally does. It helps to not need to keep it in your head all the time because you see it every morning on the dashboard for the next couple of days. Things like:

    • Renew child A’s visa
    • Make child K write an essay on a regular basis
    • Vaccination for child A
    • Prepare for child K’s school trip
    • Change bed sheets
    • Bring child K to birthday party
    • Register for child K’s Summer Program
    • Go to Photo studio with child A
    • Call the bank about moving money abroad
    • Ceramic class
    • Visit grandparents

    and so on. The thing is when I don’t know about it then I can’t even offer to take it over. This way it’s also a bit more visible for both of us what the other is doing so we can share easier.
