What kind of nonsense is this?

Go on, lick some more boots.

You’ll get downvotes because this is just rationalizing kow-towing to Google.

There’s no technical, nor security reasoning to rationalize this.

This.

Time and space are major impacts to the cost when aging.

And cheese needs to be moved when aging. Like flipped over. This is done all day, every day, at the larger places because they have so many blocks of cheese. And it loses some weight as it ages. Not as much as alcohol, but some.

It’s similar to things like alcohol. Champagne bottles must be turned every day. Whiskey in barrels loses upwards of 2% per year as it ages, so a 40 year old cask has lost eighty percent of it’s volume, while sitting in a cellar and taking up space.

Nearly all malware comes from the play store, given that very few people get apps from elsewhere (percentage-wise).

I don’t.

If you’re stupid enough to carry out my stuff, good luck getting anything for it.

My setup is a small-form-factor desktop, a NAS, and 2 other modest systems. Easy enough to carry away, but all worthless from a pawn standpoint, because it’s all old, as in long past support dates from the vendor.

I guess you’d need to understand what a burglar in your area steals, and what homes they target.

I doubt they steal systems.

Others have mentioned Syncthing as a sync solution. I’d like to add a couple points:

Syncthing can work fine even for solutions that are intended to use their own sync, provided it’s a single-user setup. You’re not likely to make simultaneous changes on 2 devices, so collisions are unlikely.

Also for using Syncthing, I recommend Syncthing-Fork for Android - it moves sync conditions into the folder/job rather than global. Very useful when you have jobs you want always syncing, and jobs you want to only sync on wifi and power.

If using iOS there’s an ST client called Möbius Sync ($5), developed by a company the financially supports Syncthing.

For Windows, get SyncTrayzor - it makes running and managing ST easier.

I carry a phone, I’m not carrying a notebook and pen.

I did that 40 years ago.

Plus that list doesn’t show up on my laptop or my desktop, other places I’m working.

It’s not sortable by date/time, priority or project.

That’s terrible advice, and doesn’t even meet the basic requirements of the question.

3. It’s performance is dog shit, like running Virtual PC in 2006

Who said you can’t hang a curtain outside the door? Just get a spring loaded curtain rod.

Don’t let the man tell you how to live!

I’ve found tagging is crucial for images of any kind.

Then any app that supports tagging can easily find things by your tags.

What’s an “apple apple” device? 😁

Yea, Jellyfin on iOS hsed to be buggy. Seems much better these days, and there’s also Finamp for music

So don’t expose it to the internet - which should be the default stance for anything.

The internet was (mistakenly and intentionally) built without security - that doesn’t mean we should just accept that, but instead build everything with our own security.

Numerous mesh VPN solutions exist: Hamachi has been around since at leas 2006. NeoRouter since at least 2012. Then we have Wireguard and Tailscale, and others.

Business build their own tunnels between locations, using routers/gateways with that capability. Consumer routers from Linksys could do this in 2006.

There’s zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.

In closing NO SOFTWARE is free of bugs. With Plex you get to pay for those bugs and still have software that depends on a connection even though you’re hosting and viewing your own media, locally.

You wanna denigrate Jellyfin, at least be honest about the pros/cons between the different solutions.

I’m still using Google Voice (since 2010!), but I never went full-in with it because I don’t trust it will exist tomorrow (they’ve removed a couple features over the years), plus the last thing I want is my text messages going through them.

This is a good reminder that I need to love away from it.

Instead it has Google Services Spyware, and every app Spyware, and you’re not permitted root/admin access to block such things, unlike Windows.

Recall is completely removeable - or do you think a finance enterprise Risk Management would permit operational data to leave the premises?

Because this headline is bunk

Cloud costs, monthly.

Have you reported any?

Have you learned the process involved in removing fake products?

Yea, Win 3.1 didn’t support long names - that came with Win95. Win 3.1 was a shell on DOS.

But I understand - it all blends together after um… 40 years (ouch!).

Performance.

Which Mediatek ain’t.
