Ete-Sync

Do you self-host Etebase?

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Yup :)

Nice, found a follow Etesync/Etebase user. Am I the only one who's worried, because there isn't much development lately?

You know what I want? Bookmarks in Ete-Sync!

Also we were promised native gnome accounts, and while there's part of the work done through Evolution, it doesn't work via the account center.

I just self-host the Firefox sync server. It also uses E2EE. Linux desktop integration would be pretty neat though.

Thanks, didn't think about that. I should have a look!

I used to use [a Windows 3.1 shrink-wrapped software package] that offered notepads and appointment calendars. Then I switched to Linux. That was 16 years ago. To take the place of the Windows application, I had to write my own list-maker from scratch. Today, there's a new python3-pyqt5 version (under GNU General Public License) of my script for Linux and Windows desktops to help maintain the equivalent of index-card files. Obviously this is not something you'd use just to be like everybody else. I use it because I don't really know how others handle their everyday lists and I can't think of an easier way. If you, too, suspect it ought to be easier than it is, it may be. Please look at Tonto2. Thanks.

It's niche as hell, but Syncplay lets you sync up the playback of video files through VLC or MPV player as long as everyone has the same video file stored locally. Better quality then steaming and works on low bandwidth connections.
