    YES! Nextcloud is actually kinda good. I was skeptical for a long time, but I’ve changed my mind recently.

    If you don’t want to self-host (I’m not there yet, it seemed like a pain at first glance), then there are 2 online hosting providers that I’ve used recently.

    • nubo.coop fully manages Nextcloud for you, you just use it as a normal SaaS
    • northmail.ca also Nextcloud as a service, same as Nubo

    Nubo is in Europe, while Northmail is in Canada.

    They both offer email, notes, calendars, contacts, cloud file storage. Nubo also offers a tasks app, while Northmail doesn’t yet.

    I’m in the US, so Nubo was a little slow for me. I’ve been using Northmail for about 1 week now. Northmail’s Nextcloud instance is faster for me. Northmail also uses a way more recent version of Nextcloud. Nubo’s Nextcloud is pretty old. Northmail is also offering 100GB for $0.99 CAD per month, which is way more than Nubo.

    I had to move off Nubo because my bank doesn’t do international wires.

    If Northmail adds Nextcloud Tasks, then I will have everything I want from Northmail!

    😆😂🤣 Uuuuhh… Aaaah… I normally generate a random password and use it as my username for most services. Like even my bank.

    This is because I’ve realized the username is mostly useless and is just a handle for my account. It doesn’t matter to me if my username is jsmith, meow123, or kekxbek. In fact, it’s easier if I don’t have to come up with something novel or cool. Either way it goes in my password manager, so it’s not like I have to even remember it.

    I’m a real boy. I promise. Not a malicious bot.

    Although… If I were a malicious bot, that’s exactly what I would say! 😲

    My use case is I want to write text and I want that text to be synced from my phone and laptop. I want to deploy the minimum number of services. I don’t care about any text editor features as long as I can write text and read it.

    I’ve already deployed Radicale and I’d rather not have to maintain anything else.

    I realize I can deploy something else just for notes, but I really don’t want to maintain something else.

    Every car I’ve owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .

    For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)

    • 35mph -> 50km/h
    • 60mph -> 100km/h
    • 70mph ->110km/h

    Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.

    However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.

    I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.
