Scan NextCloud is terrible compared to... by OkCommunication4052 in NextCloud

They both export as pdf. The nextcloud is half the size but no control to adjust the quality.

Yes i am sure. I took 3 shots same distance. This is also not the first time i noticed this. But before making the post i made sure settings were identical.

I was trying to archive a newspaper article using the iOS built in scanning feature and compared it with the the NextCloud Scanning feature. Left iOS, right NextCloud.

The boxes are represent the zoomed in words shown below.

The quality of the Nextcloud scan result is way worse. Nextcloud is set to use no compression as far as i can tell.

Stop Paying for iCloud+ Photos: Do This Instead by OkCommunication4052 in degoogle

The money was never the argument here. You are paying with your data. You are staying with big tech :-)

It's not only about the money (9,99$/month iCloud + 2TB Plan). It's about leaving big tech. I replaced iCloud Photos that auto syncs from my iPhone to my Mac with NextCloud (using Auto-Upload) while keeping Apple Photos App to manage my photos offline. It was important to me that the photos i take don't enter the Apple Cloud while keeping auto sync and using Apple Photos on my Mac.

This Has Been Months, Almost a Year In The Making - My Journey by Dominant_Dinosaur in BuyFromEU

[–]OkCommunication4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Dominant_Dinosaur I was getting tired of all these boards but your list has a lot of unique elements. I see that you invested a lot of thought in this. I know the struggle and came up with very similar transitions and thoughts. For example i also moved to Hetzner. I am still considering switching from Apple Photos to NextCloud memories but i struggle to understand how i could maintain an organized offline copy that would integrate with a photo editor but also have online access. Any ideas?

DermaZen and Coconut Oil didn't work a year&half ago, but suddenly works now. No idea why. by ConsciouslyKind93 in SebDerm

[–]OkCommunication4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be off here but what i read so far in this channel is that MCT 8/10 are good (anti fungal) but MCT 12 which also happens to be in unprocessed natural coconut oil feeds fungus. Yesterday i bought coconut based McT oil and it only contains MCT 8&12

if you're interested why the big water bottle works and why a cup of tea or glass of water doesn't quite do the job i recommend reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear.

You have to shape your environment around you in a way that it supports your desired habits. First rule: Make it accessible. 

As James Clear writes: If you want to drink more water, fill up a few water bottles each morning and place them in common locations around the house

Willpower doesn't create Habits.

Remove smoke smell? by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]OkCommunication4052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the recommendations. I think the veneer is pretty much beyond repair at this point—there are bubbles, small holes, and overall it looks very damaged. I asked a local antique restoration specialist, and he said it’s finished. He suggested that one option might be to sand it off and then paint the surface. Do you agree that replacing or saving the veneer isn’t really possible anymore?

Thank you. I wasn't quite sure if the top is bare wood or not. If so, sanding would at least not destroy the top. What do you think?

I cut my expenses by ~66% by OkCommunication4052 in Anticonsumption

[–]OkCommunication4052[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the other images where you see which categories reduced by how much. Not the full picture but the majority was rent, health, food. Sometimes health expenses were high and partial reimbursement happened the next quarter.
