Man, I wish I could chromecast netflix from my phone but apparently Netflix now requires you to use their app.

I should get smarttube though.

Something like docuwiki maybe, it looks like Wikipedia so everyone would immediately feel at home there.

Waaaaaait I’ve never thought of using it for podcasts. Been using Pocket Cast but maybe I should take a look.

Interesting, thanks!

Really? Hmm interesting. Maybe I should take another peek at syncthing. Default settings or have you limited the sync frequency?

Oh yeah if it is integrated into the application then it’s much easier for sure.

People always mention nextcloud when it comes to syncing for e.g., Obsidian, but how do people use it with mobile? They never seem to actually use the local storage for anything, meaning you can’t map a local folder for use in the application (assuming it does not have the option to use cloud services). I know thay syncthing does use actual local folders, but doesn’t it use a fuck-ton of battery? I remember trying it a few years back and just could not due to it being a battery hog. Also tried the fork which helped but not by much.

I wish I could just use rsync but nooooo. Yes yes rooting is “possible”, which might just break shit or you need to use some masking to hide root from application to and jesus christ why the fuck is everything so annoyingly locked down god dammit. Rant over.

Havant tried termux + rsync tho.

Good luck!

Don’t sweat it.

I remember looking into this as well like a year ago. I also found the same info and started to look into ssds, consumer and enterprise grade and after all that I realised that most of it is just useless fuzzing about. Yes it is an interesting rabbit hole in which I spent a week probably. In the end one simple thing nullifies most of this: you can track writes per day and SSD health. It is not like you need to somehow made a guess when the drives fail. You do not. Keep track of the health and writes per day and you will get a good sense of how your system behaves. Run that for 6 months and you are infinitely wiser when it comes to this stuff.

It does not increase security per se but it does limit the amount of bots trying to connect to your server. At least it will make your log a bit less cluttered with random garbage.

Also installing something like fail2ban might be a good idea. Or even better would be to block all ssh connections except from a specific ip address (whitelist). This of course depends whether you can trust your ip to stay the same, or if you can still log in through some other interface if necessary.
