change.org doesn’t like my mail address for some reason, and they tried trick me into subscribing to their newsletter :/

It’s more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.

This! It’s very difficult to give good advice if we know nothing about the situation.

three-part series about the history of racism

That sounds interesting, but I couldn’t find it. Do you have a link, or a title?

I can reommend “Encounters at the End of the World” by Werner Herzog, it’s about researchers in Antarctica and what motivates them to be there. So many interesting people, and it gets a bit philosophical.

I can print at my workplace, and there is a library 5 minutes walking distance from my apartment. These huge commercial printing machines are so much better than anything you can buy for your home, and I don’t have to maintain them. I’m very grateful I don’t have to own a printer.

From the article:

When you have enough storage that you never have to delete anything, you can keep an infinite record of your life. Packages, receipts, itineraries of past trips, messages from loved ones, photos, appointments, documents — you can just label them, archive them, and search for them later.

I don’t want Google to have that information for free, to analyze/monetize/sell to 3rd parties. That’s one of the reasons why I quit GMail. It was difficult too because I was registered to literally 100s of websites with that address.

I’ve used both self-hosted Nextcloud, and an instance set up by my school. I have the client on two different Windows machines, and I can confirm the update either tries to kill explorer.exe, which doesn’t work half of the time, or forces a restart, so you’re not alone with this issue! I also hate the client UI and how it displays conflicted files when multiple people are accessing the same folder. The whole file sync thing feels like a poor attempt to copy Dropbox. My school discontinued Nextcloud support last year because hosting/maintenance took too many resources, they switched to Microsoft i.e. OneDrive and it works much better.

Wasn’t OP complaining about the Windows desktop client? What has that to do with the server setup, Docker, etc? People can have the exact same issues on the client side even if the Nextcloud instance is professionally managed by a large organization.
