I work with Zendesk and this doesn’t surprise me at all - the product is janky and they’re much more interested in sales and squeezing a few more $$s from their clients than improving it or fixing issues

I use Nextcloud to sync a huge music collection and it works great - I was kinda surprised

I run it on an underpowered NUC and it behaves beautifully

you should probably use a VPN if you’re uploading because it’s trivial for law enforcement to track - there’s no Onion routing or anything like that, and anyone can register and search

but for downloading / leeching I wouldn’t be as worried because very generally speaking people aren’t harassed for downloading, only sharing

yep came here to say NixOS - once I was used to it, the advantages for programming are immense. I commit my shell.nix to Git and use Lorri to automagically install the right environment tools and it feels magical being able to work on multiple machines and never encounter dependency oddness

as the inverse to this, I like to be reminded how much Windows sucks so I don’t feel any desire to reinstall it
