Microsoft has incredibly been doing stuff I'd consider unlikely just a decade ago. They're at the point where I go "unlikely but far from impossible. Likely in a while".

Oof, I'd rather 3D print a VESA-mounted Pi5 maxi-case. And I'm too lazy to 3D print a VESA-mounted maxi-case. I have more money than spare time, I just want to buy a case that fits the product. 😮‍💨

Where's the fun in that? Also, I don't like x86 (and particularly Intel). The more demand for open source stuff, the faster the first fully open consumer computer will be available.

That's cool but will there be an official case for it? If I'm going to continue using the Pi5 as a desktop replacement (I use it when I want to avoid the mega fans on the gaming rig) it needs to be a DESKTOP mini computer.

I've already foregone third party SSD HATs because they didn't supply compatible cases yet (coming soon, summer 2024...) so what about a larger official case? There's no way I'm having a barebones no-case Pi5 on my desktop even if it comes with an nvme disk.

Currently I have a black USB SSD that goes great with the official black case using a black cable. Forget about the official cooler as that once again messes with using three case.

Give be a big boi Pi5 case with room for nvme HAT and official cooler and I'm happy. Until then it's just another assHAT.

100% of my self-hosted projects are run exclusively by my recurrent donations.

Good thing nobody's asking about what I've donated to the software projects I'm using to self-host.

What do you do you with a big batch? Saving some for later or just gorge on sautéed unions?

The NC app (and DAVx5 contacts and calendar sync for that matter) do provide a WebDAV mount point on android so I suppose I could access content directly. And someone mentioned there's DAV support in some clients as well. Perhaps I'm just overly worried about losing access, with Syncthing the files are on my device no matter if my self-hosted home solution or internet goes down.

But the no-server cloud function of Syncthing is absolutely a killer feature. And very important as a simple and easy privacy solution for inexperienced users IMO. I was hoping for a better windows solution, not a deprecation of device support.

Speaking of servers, I also run a Syncthing server so I can sync files without having two user devices online at the same time. Syncthing natively support encryption at rest (files on disk) so it satisfies my absolute demand of never storing unencrypted personal files on a server. Even if the server is disk encrypted, in my own home and only accessibly through VPN...

Encrypted password database in encrypted storage on an encrypted storage only accessibly by encrypted connection via an encrypted connection... Maybe I'm overdoing it. Who am I kidding, I'd get a rottweiler to guard my home server if I could.

Fair point. Does it cache the database for when one's of the grid?

Consider yourself lucky, I feel the pain of seeing the end of years of a loving relationship.

I've used both. NC android app doesn't sync and one needs to host the entire platform. When using generic webDAV one still needs a dedicated sync solution.

I self host NC and still prefer SyncThing for keeping my KeePass database updated and fresh across devices.

Palaeeudyptes klekowskii is an extinct penguin species of the penguin genus Palaeeudyptes Palaeeudyptes.

Aaw. Guess no ridable penguins for me then.

Have you ever said it and it turned out to be someone calling the wrong number? Are you ever worried she'll flip it on you and conspire with a friend to have them call you on her phone?

You're playing a dangerous game, friend.
