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".

Lucas ruined Star Wars by doing it his way.

Lucas ruined Star Wars by selling it and the buyers didn't do it his way.

Dang.

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.

My nightmares always turn into semi lucid dreams, it's like "this is so horrible it must be a nightmare" and then I can choose to just nope out of sleeping.

My old man taught me that telling someone one is having a nightmare stops it from coming back. I've found that just saying it out aloud works as well.

I've used it quite a few times throughout my life, never fails. It's supposedly pretty eerie for others though when I just sit up in bed in the middle of the night, proclaim "I'm having a nightmare" and then promptly going back to sleep.
