Cool, now do it over Ping!

Not an answer to OP; I use iCloud, but I still want my own, external backup of that and have found some good solutions.

I previously used icloudpd which I run from docker and that synced all files to a NAS from where I took backups. It works great and I highly recommended.

However, I recently turned on Advanced Data Protection on iCloud, which disables the API icloudpd relied upon, so now I’m using osxphotos instead. It works just as good.

You’ll have to turn on downloading all originals to your Mac for this to work. Personally I had to buy an external disk and move the photo library on my Mac mini server to it to have enough storage.

Only if you give them a lot of pretty pennies.

They are all so nice that I feel I have to be nice too.

I’ve always found this classic the best measurement:

I thought the first rule of Usenet was to never talk about Usenet.

Yeah but you have plenty of ways to make XAML UIs, do you really need to put it on top of Blazor specifically?

I did pay for all seasons, but we could only get it legally through a horrible HBO Nordic app with insanely poor quality, so yeah I did also put in some effort in watching the series in a little more decent quality, but it’s just weird how low quality all streaming options were.

Well I guess this couldn’t be more mild, but at an early point in my career where I was active and a little picky in creating my professional network, LinkedIn tricked me into sending an invite to every single one of my phone contacts.

Now, I had a large social network on my phone, with people of all interesting kinds, but I tried to keep LinkedIn as a network of peers I had actually worked with and could recommend, not more random people like on Facebook (we’re quite a few years back in time here).

There was no way of canceling these invites. The only solution I had was to deactivate my account for half a year or so. Even still, people I had previously invited would randomly appear in my network whenever they created an account / accepted my invite, for years later.

I like to think that I’ve grown out of these insecurities (professionally), and it’s almost, almost, funny to think back on how mortified I was of the situation.

Libreddit is an alternative, it’s working for me for now, but I’m not using it to search, I’m just redirecting Reddit URLs to it.

They are at least actively investigating the API situation: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818

And don’t care about privacy / believes that Plex will not be hacked one more time.

Do you get specific letters about files you have downloaded, or generic letters about you using torrent?

If the first, something is wrong with your setup. Mullvad should be fine.

If the latter, it might be only your DNS setup is leaking and your isp sees the domains you are connecting to.
