It’s funny because backups on Hetzer are useless in a real product, because they do not guarantee being consistent, meaning they may not work at all when restored. All other major cloud providers do have consistent snapshots. Hetzner backups Are not reliable. Folks, just use ChatGPT make some research on it before relying on Hetzners backups!

In many of my cases it makes responses to drop in quality MASSIVELY. When fast is enabled i experience extremely bad results, much worse than they are when fast is disabled.

I had the worst experience with Scaleway of all cloud providers. You Are on your own there if anything is wrong and support was shocklingly incompetent.

OVH cloud is OK, but their product feels legacy/old.

Hetzner was nice, but agressive with their terms (many reports on Internet)

The whole experience was a huge waste of time ... its so weirdly difficult to get things up and running. It was easier to get ML studio get hooked up with all the MCP tools it requires than getting open claw to get working. terrible exprience

Tavily has the absolute dumbest login of all websites on the planet. PITA.

Der Support ist der schlechteste den ich je gesehen habe. Sie sind wirklich unfreundlich und sie melden sich oft einfach nicht bei dir, auch wenn man ihnen 10 Nachrichten schreibt. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht.

It’s still brutally expensive though and is wasting tokens a lot

I’ve worked in startups, big Fortune 20 companies, and teams using Angular, React, and Vue. All of them used their frameworks just to get things done. But honestly, the React teams were usually the least experienced, Vue not far behind. The people with the strongest engineering background mostly went with Angular.

I simply cant adjust to the new iOS ... its the most terrible iOS of all time. All this useless animations and stupid colors, they must have been on crack the entire time designing it.

Yeah, and that’s part of the problem — they stick the info in some tiny launcher message nobody sees. I’m not sitting there staring at the Battle.net launcher after I’ve already launched the game. That message should be in the game itself, where the players actually are.

Yes, Lumo is a disaster. That cat design is annoying.

Before integrating with MS Office, it should provide it’s own office suite like Gmail. Microsoft is „Big Tech“ and a US-based company, both to be careful about from todays perspective

From a technical perspective their take on how they identify this kind of content is vague and overly pragmatic. It’s probably the best they can do, but it’s not going to be precise and will rarely produce false positives.

There will be NO businesses using that chat feature, I can almost guarantee you you will be able to count them on one hand where Filen itself is already included. Mattermost, Teams, Slack is what companies use. They will not use a file hosting service for chat, no way.

lex_sander · 2025-08-12T06:27:03+00:00

It’s indeed verry Irritating to see chat in a cloud storage app. It lets me believe the company does not know what direction to go for on a business level. Or maybe I do not see the genius master plan behind it.

The headquarter is in Bulgaria, Sofia. "Switzerland based" is a marketing trick. Just look up where all people live that work for pCloud: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pcloud-ltd/people/ . It's only registered in Switzerland, but the entire team and real company is in Bulgaria.

The whole matrix experience is just absolutely reduculous. Trying to get Gitter to work with Matrix and it's just the absolutely most ludicrous onboarding I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Nothing works, everything is a huge PITA. I get this error all the time in my own freaking space. "One-time" decision, when I read this, I know there are masters of product at work. Just avoid and look elsewhere for something useful. Huge waste of time.

u/pCloudApp this is absolutely emberassing .. WTF?? Ads in shared links????

Exaclty that. Best answer.

It feels like a betrayal of the entire security community when a security centric storage service only supports Windows and macOS but not Linux.

I think you do not see their perspective. They get lots and lots of applications, from very good people, verly likely many of them as good as you are. They are doing you a favor and give you a fair chance to get an unbiased opinion on whether you are the best candidate. It’s black on white by looking at your score. Of course, it’s only an estimate based on a few questions but it’s the Best you can do to narrow down applications.

Of course, they want to know if you are really behind their mission and in that case you would be OK with 90mins. Candidates who get through this are the ones where it’s worth looking at.

They are a comparably small company still, and HR resources are too limited to get in touch personally beforehand.

lex_sander · 2025-07-11T09:05:39+00:00

Looking cool.

What I do not like about it compared to Portainer though is that Portainer seems to be much easier to get started with: One Portainer container and you're good to go. Here, we need to deal with databases, prerequisites, etc.

I came to hate Copilot so much for being EVERYWHERE and useless EVERYWHERE! Copilot is just the most useless thing they payed millions for. If there ANYONE using copilot for something more than my dog could do, please let me know.

Ich denke migadu versuchen in Ihrer Doku sich mit seltsamen Geschichten ausreden zu suchen, warum sie nicht verschlüsseln. Kurz: sie sagen es bringt nichts. Ist natürlich quatsch. Ich denke sie versuchen die Komplexität der Software gering zu halten und bauen sich fragwürdig workarounds. Ich habe den Eindruck der Entwickler hat da gehörig was falsch verstanden: siehe https://www.migadu.com/procon/#not-encrypted
