This dude also talks about 10gbs and speeds required for video editing. That’s something you don’t get with your average internet connection, and even if, it’s unsure your average cloud service provider can match.

Amazon Glacier

I have done this with calibre and a Kindle, worked fine.

Nowadays I prefer reading on my phone, and loading ePubs on any eBook reader is a non brainer.

You can use IMAP in the same easy as POP. What you describe I do with IMAP alone.

Bei meiner Suche nach Radtouren in meiner Umgebung finde ich durchaus ein paar GPX Tracks, die ich nutzen wollte. Aber die Websuche bringt mich nur auf Seiten, die alles hinter einer Einlogg- und Eigene-App-Barriere verstecken.

Es gibt doch bestimmt irgendwelche nutzerzentrierte Seiten die es uns erlauben, GPX Track’s zu teilen, kategorisieren und herunterzuladen, so dass ich sie in der Kartensoftware meiner Wahl nutzen kann. Hat jemand einen Hinweis?

Manage your mail on multiple clients, as in native software that runs on a device. If your client always deletes upon fetching your mail, another device won’t see it.

IMAP has been around for what, 30 years now?

I’m a professional in software development, sometimes tasked with administration stuff.

At home I love my FRITZ!Box. The only thing I’m missing is DNS rewriting, but I can work around that. If you don’t know what that is you don’t need it anyway.

again, while true that description is neither complete nor distinguished. It would get maybe 1 out of four possible points in a high school exam.

Not helpful for most things.

That’s true in the same way as you are nothing else but molecules and some biochemical reactions.

It’s reductionist, and otherwise not a useful description of a human, tells nothing about interaction possibilities, lifestyle or lifespan for example.

It’s also not an accurate description, because “molecules and biochemical reactions” describes very very many life forms, just as “a computer” could be your smartphone. But aside from both being a computer, a smartphone is quite distinct from a cloud.

To back up my Synology: My first level is an old Synology, the second is Amazon Glacier.

I’m back to Mail clients. Webmail is a compromise that didn’t work out for me well.

I use Gmail at work because I have to. It’s good for it’s company integration, but privately no thanks.

I did for a while, but it never felt right.

I’m also lazy a f, so I purchased a new router that comes with WireGuard VPN and that works well enough with our iPhones.

Oh I would recommend Synology too, but since many already did there’s no reason to do this again.

You missed QNAP

old Pc

Watch power consumption though. It matters for a device that runs potentially 24/7

Why would you care about getting banned from Reddit?

I have been using Synology NAS for a decade now, currently still running a DS918+.

What I want to tinker with I can do with docker, but often I don’t, because that’s my “cloud” for most everything and stability is priority one. So far, Synology delivered on that without fail. It’s an amazing product company.

I self host my imap Server that my clients access. I have a minutely cron job that first fetches, then deletes, the emails from my mail provider.

I don’t self host smtp.

With that I have all the advantages of self hosted email, but no integration problems.
