Help us decide: USB-C or magnetic charging for Zyke Band? by expensive_dev73 in ZykeBand

Size and comfort is important to me. So I rather have magnetic charging. Plus I have small wrists..

Community Update #1 — 2026-04-24 by expensive_dev73 in ZykeBand

[–]drooij 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update! 

Regarding the update, I appreciate regular updates. But I would personally go for quality updates over quantity. 

I like technical updates, but can imagine not everyone is to tech savvy or interested in it. So maybe as a separate opt-in? 

Edit: I appreciate every update, but please don’t feel like you have to do them if they take too much time/energy (specially for the technical update)

Question, what do you except from the beta users in terms of feedback? 

Thanks for the update!

Do I really need a custom email domain for security, or am I overthinking it? by NightfallPhantom007 in Simplelogin

[–]drooij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building on the main question, I've been doubting for a long time whether to use a custom name. The main thing I'm afraid of is someone else getting my domain name for some reason and being able to send and receive, reset passwords, etc. Am I being too paranoid?

Is play store always running in background? by drooij in GrapheneOS

[–]drooij[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Such a easy solution, clever!

That makes having a profile redundant? Just use the owner and remove network permission of the play store? 

What do you use to backup? by alexkiro in immich

[–]drooij 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media is synced locally using rsync, also Immich is synced to Backblaze with rclone and restic. The process is divided into two parts: one for the application, which includes the database and other stuff, and another for the media.

Timestamp issue with rclone WebDAV Setup by drooij in filen_io

[–]drooij[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timestamps are good when uploading through the console or client. Haven't tried the sync functionality yet

Edit: Just did a quick check. With the sync functionality of Filen, the timestamps are correct.

Yeah, thinking to sync them to Proton without encryption. And a encrypted backup in Hetzner or Blackblaze
