sadly too complicated for some of my users. just going on a website to enter their info is a chore.

multiple reasons :

• I have some friends I want to share with that might not want to share their email address with my family and vice versa.
• There is maybe a limited number of family members that know my personal email account and I want to keep it that way.
• I have multiple emails depending what app I use and do not want to share them.
• just not wanting to share an email address should be reason enough wtf
• Using authentik, I might not want people to know what email I use for other apps.
• I have a kid in my users and their info is all of a sudden public, even for a day? huh-uh, that’s totally legit.
• I don’t want to share my private email to other peoples guests.

There are so many usecase that make this very not a normal configuration. So many apps exist that let you hide your email, this is common sense.

I can remove the email from nextcloud, but if the person wants to get notifications : gotta chose between what is more important.

I also know the majority of my users don’t care enough about it to know that the information exists, but then they share to someone that does and you just game your whole families personnal information to someone on a silver platter (hopefully they are a nice someone).

ps: this isnt only about the email, it is the lack of care for private information in general from something as big has Nextcloud. There are so many ways I can get my (and others) information stolen as it is, I will not use an app that just makes it normal and easier then it already is.

The battery of the UPS died and I didn’t notice until there was an outage. None of my other apps had any problem except seafile + I never found out why it kept going down randomnly. I kinda stopped caring after the corruption ;;

I have to get back into Hollow Knight to get ready for Silksong, it is a need I feel in my bones

I am using nginx on a separate machine (VM) I have yet to try it in docker, I just have not found a reason to change it yet.

I’ve tried npm, caddy and traefik but they are always way more complicated then adding a new config file in nginx…

I feel the others add too much to the docker configs and limit what can be added to the reverse proxy. I have control of access from the nginx server, without having to change the apps configuration.

NPM is the closest to what I would like (only needing the same network in docker) if I go the docker way but for some reason it never works as it should when I configure it. So I am sticking to plain nginx.

I wish I could use linux, most (not all) of the apps I use regularly are better on a linux distro. I self host a lot of services on linux machines, and god I would love to rid myself of Microsoft. But my main computer OS? still stuck with Windows.

I just (a few years ago) upgraded my graphics card and at that time NVidia had a better deal then AMD… I’m not sst to upgrade for at least 5 years still. Every distro I’ve tested have weird problems that cannot be solved by a few lines of code, all seem to point to Nvidia, but it’s hard to say without testing without.

My main computer is working as is with Windows, until there is a linux distro that just works with nvidia, I’ll stick to it and the many tools I have to keep my things as private from Microsoft as I can. One of the many problems I’ve had is the task bar/desktop/windows hang/freezes, have to go in the terminal to reboot or force a shutdown. If I have to reboot everytime I want to use the computer and reset all my apps, when the only times it happens now is when windows forces it : not for me thanks.
