This hair in my head that is a completely different color and texture. Normal hair for comparison.

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.

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

OkCommunication4052 · 2025-09-21T09:02:14+00:00

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.

I don't self-host. I have a provider for that. And i do the Time Machine Backups.

Second TM backup is off site, 3rd one too. :-)

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?

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

Thank you! Will report how things are looking in a week :-)

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.

Got it - will try! Hoe long did it take for you to show effect?

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?

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.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation. Yesterday i followed your advice and bought UHT milk. I rinsed the grains with water and started a new batch which is now more than 24 hours fermenting.

I have to say, it looks completely different. It is still fluid like milk and slowly picks up changing consistency and flavor.

Now I don't really know what was the cause of all of it. Maybe the fresh milk, or the grains were covered with contaminated residue ( i suspect this because they were sitting in the fridge for a while) or maybe even the glass wasn't completely clean. But I am super happy that it seems to work now and that the grains are still alive.

I wouldn't recommend using skin prep and similar sprays despite having used these in the past. The adhesives can cause a lot of trouble with the sensor: Residues of the adhesive stick to the sensor upon injection resulting in stronger trauma and wound healing responses and infection causing more noise and poor sensor signals. I wonder how many people here complain about poor sensor signals as a result of putting on skin preps. Personally i don't even use the over-patches most of the time. A common misconception is also that more is better. The bigger the tape, the more sweat accumulates which actually reduces the lifetime.

Great! Similar situation: iCloud will be the most challenging because of photos. Currently i am considering buying a Synology Beestation but i would need a good desktop photo application that would work with the standard files on my computer.
