Rapist mentality.

The stock market literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.

Or calling all kinds of art “content”.

Something like this happened on my sister’s laptop. She got a new laptop with Windows 11. She followed some website to set up Syncthing, but it wasn’t syncing. Turns out, there’s some kind of “trusted network” deal that needs to be figured out. (Don’t remember the exact term anymore.) Anyway, helped her fix it, and installed Debian Stable on it the next time I was visiting.

Interesting. I currently use it on a Samsung Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. In the past, I’ve used OnePlus, Redmi, and Realme devices. Always worked.

Maybe post it in their forum? They’re usually very helpful.

What phone are you using? I’ve used it my many Android devices from different manufacturers. Always worked flawlessly.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Where are you, if I may ask? Their Intel offers are not based in the US. Most of the time, I’ll access it from inside US, so I’m worried about the latency.

PDFs are searchable, zoomable (i.e. don’t look like shit on high-res displays), are often much smaller, have nicer software for handling them (image viewers are usually not designed for this task), and so on.

I actually watched this video and decided to clean the filter. Pretty gnarly.

I actually use tags as directories in GMail. I can’t find shit otherwise. (Tangent: just how shitty is the search in Outlook? I can never find anything unless labeled in advance.)

I agree for the apps. But then they shouldn’t deal with files anyway. They should just access certain directories as permitted by the system, and those should also be exposed to the user.

Hard disagree on the documents (or anything else, really). One ends up emulating folders using tags anyway, and there’s no real way of doing it in a platform-independent way. Also, searching can be very annoying in many cases. For my research, I end up working with the same files for a few weeks straight. It’s much better if they’re in a folder, rather than searching them every time.

You do you, though.

The directory remark is unrelated to the Canvas one. I guess they didn’t have the app set up on their phone in that case.

Anyway, have directories been replaced? I’m having a hard time remembering any filesystem without directories. And we don’t need to put AI in every fucking thing.

I mostly agree with you. But it only works because users give in. They deserve some of the blame.

Sure, but they own their devices. They should know it. It’s a pretty regular thing to do, since most classes in my university use Canvas.

Also, many of them had both devices from Apple. I may dislike Apple, but Airdrop should work pretty well for this.

I teach math to undergrads, and damn it’s sad. They don’t know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop, and upload it to Canvas. One guy ended up emailing it to me. They don’t even know what a folder/directory is.

Without anything extra, there are three ways of doing it:

1. Using Tailscale Funnel
2. Direct port forwarding in your router, and pointing to the IP using some DDNS provider (e.g. desec.io)
3. Through Cloudflare tunnel (not recommended due to privacy reasons)

In each case, you’ll need a reverse proxy (e.g. Caddy) if you want secure https connections.

If you’re willing to spend money, the better way would be to proxy through a VPS (using something like a Wireguard tunnel). In that way, you won’t have to open ports on your home router. You can get a very cheap one since proxying doesn’t need much CPU power. Just choose one with enough bandwidth. I personally proxy most of my stuff through a $12/yr RackNerd VPS.
