I do own a cheap numerical xyz domain (something like 432433.xyz) cost a dollar per year. Only reason I was curious about eu.org is its very short and ends with .org.

I haven’t really bought a proper .com domain since I’m just using them for side hobby projects (not for sharing with other people).

I do wish there were more services like nebula one yearly fee no baked in ads or ads at all and more creators are willing to join them.

The thing that sucks with youtube premium is you still have creators dumping 1 min long sponsors ruining the experience. Additionally often only way these creators allow you to go add free is via patreon, floatplane, etc which can get quite expensive if you follow 30-50 channels. The only other viable route is sponsorblock which works great but requires modified youtube clients/browser extensions and with youtubes new video adinjection could potentially be broken.

The only part I do wonder with nebula is how well it works for larger creators.

Update regarding virtual files has more quirks.

• You cannot move files or folders. If you try nextcloud will simply copy the files to new destinaiton while not moving.
• the nextcloud sync and virtual files refresh/update independently (a change may propigate to sync but not files and vice versa).

Also turns out the reason it was a github release was it is still in alpha 😅 .

Update the stable client does have proper virtual file sync.

Regarding the previous virtual file sync system (.nextcloud) you had to enable experimental features to get it. The latest stable just has both versions of syncing and I missed the obsious vfs sync option.

The only downside to the new system is there isn’t a make file/folder available offline always option in the context menu (you can get around this by manually setting up synced folders but it is a little inconvient).

This is how it shows up for me on Nextcloud desktop client 3.13.0

Unfortunatly like syncthing nextcloud mac app also has the same file extension sync issue (they use .nextcloud).

Just checked, it’s working fine for me Seadroid: 3.0.0 (from fdroid) Server: 11.0.8 Pixel 8 android

I had the googlw play store version which was 1 year out of date. Reinstalling from fdroid fixed the issue.

Edit: seafile doesnt seem to play nice with microsoft word android. I can open files just fine using the browse tab but can’t save files

Sorry about that (didn’t think that far when making the post 🫠 ).

Apple charges him $0.50 USD per install for the store.

Will they need social security number (ssn) to set this up?

privacy.com used to offer a similar feature but then a while ago started requiring ssn due to new banking regulation.

If apple doesn’t require it I wonder how they where able to sidestep the supposed regulation.

If your willing to deal with self hosting, immich is a great alternative. Its facial recognition and search is practically on par with google photos.

The only downside is it doesnt’ have photo editing, and its under active developmeant (it gets weekly updates and you occasionally need to modify docker config though they do give a warning in ui).

With pypush the error seems to come when generating validaiton data (it either gets stuck endlessly or shows a error saying no cert found). Pypush is still able to communicate with apples sms gateway (and the gateway still sends sms replies). Additionally 2fa codes are still triggered and sent.

The weirdest part is even if you import your own real mac serial (data.plist) the same issue arises (I tried with my personal 2011 mac mini).

I wonder if the issue specifically relates to pypush trying to spoof a m1 mac using a intel mac serial, or the uncanny vally of registering a phone number through a mac serial.

I do wonder how this compares to current payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc)

I have a fire tv cube just direct launch into apps to avoid this. For example instead of powering on the fire tv with power button I tell Alexa to open the app I need.

Down side is this doesn’t really work with sieloaded apps like smart tube

The problem comes down to education institutions. I remember when we got Chromebooks in my highschool (8 years ago) admins forgot to turn of developer mode and half the school unenrolled the Chromebook managing to bypass all restrictions. This went on for half a year until one day our school needed to run a state exam (more for measure of schools performance not as a college entrance exam or anything).

The computerized testing program required deploying a specific chrome app accessible when chrome book is logged out (can’t just download from chrome web store). When they tried to push the client since half of Chromebooks were unenrolled it failed. This required the school it to recall pretty much all chrome books to manually re enroll all of them and disable developer mode (prevents unenrolling and prevents sideloading Linux).

Problem is if older Chromebooks are used for Linux in an educational environment there would be nothing stopping a student from whipping up a bootable USB and dumping another distro (bypassing restrictions). I’m also not sure if there is a enrollment mode equivalent Linux (there may be but not sure).

At least that’s my two cents (not a school it admin just a memory from the past 😉).
