@fastfinge I also use Miniflux as my feed reader of choice, its easily one of my most used applications.
How does kubo work? Is it similar to Dropbox? For file syncing and sharing links to other people, I use Seafile.
For uptime monitoring, I use Gatus. I like that it uses YAML to configure various endpoints, which is faster than having to use a GUI that may or may not work.
I've been looking for a notes solution, how's Joplin's accessibility?
@fastfinge I've honestly never tried them because I don't need those extra features, but I'd bet they don't work. I only use Seafile as a Dropbox-style solution to sync files between my computer and phone, and to share the occasional public link.
@neurrone For syncing BTSync or whatever it's called now seems like a lighter and more secure solution? And for sharing I'd rather just have a thing where I upload a file and people download it. Makes sharing more intentional, means I can expire the links, and the other person doesn't get nagged to download a random app.
@fastfinge Seafile offers an app called Seadrive that you can download which integrates with explorer. The integration adds a seadrive submenu, one of which lets you generate direct links to files. Anyone that has the link doesn't need to install anything to download the file.
For cross-platform syncing, I would use Syncthing, except that it doesn't work on iOS. Hence why I'm still on Seafile for stuff like ensuring my KeePass database is available to all my devices.
@neurrone Unfortunately I just use iCloud for syncing stuff to IOS. I'm part of an iCloud family, so there isn't really any cheaper option. What I mean about being intentional with sharing is: I don't really want explorer intigration. If I share a random file, now I have to remember that file is shared, and never move/change/delete it. If I upload a file to sharry, I can make the link expire in a month or a year or whatever, and then forget about it. I know the person gets there file, the file will get deleted to free up server space at a reasonable time, and if I want to update it, I can give them a new link, rather than modifying it, and then suddenly realizing I'm sharing modifications that I didn't intend to share yet.
@neurrone The iCloud drive app on Windows actually works really well these days! The problem with a public folder is I dump copies of files to share in there, then forget to ever delete them, and my storage fills up with useless junk.
