I thought the other Android phones also had Google's app as a client? (I have a Google Nexus 6P so it has the standard Gmail client)

I have started to self host my email and am looking for an Android client with IMAP support. I can't use the stock Gmail app because, although it supports other IMAP providers, I can only set the refresh frequency to 15 minutes, which is a long time. I'm now testing "Edison Email" with a test email account. It looks good but I am wondering about privacy, since - if I understood correctly - it seems to store some of my emails on their servers to train their AI stuff. I just need a simple email client that does just email, no clever assistants or calendars or else, just email - and I don't want anyone to store/look into my emails in any way. What do you use on Android? Is there a third party client you would recommend?

I used to manage several Dropbox accounts (for myself and on behalf of several family members) and some of them don't use much storage at all, so Dropbox pricing (1TB for 10 USD/month per user o more for the business version) didn't make much sense as they don't offer cheaper plans for smaller amounts of storage. So I purchased a beefy VPS with lots of RAM and storage, and switched everyone to a self-hosted Nextcloud. Works great! Same features as Dropbox (and you can add lots of other features by enabling "apps") and I don't have any limits of the number of users or storage available to each. It costs me only 12 EUR/month for the VPS plus less than 5 EUR/month for off site backups (the total amount of storage in use isn't very big yet) to two different destinations just to be safe (Amazon S3 and Backblaze B2). The only small issue I had was with uploading large files (several GBs), but it was easy to fix with some tweaking. One thing Nextcloud doesn't do yet (if I understood correctly), is delta-sync, but the only account which has large files is mine and everyone has a pretty fast Internet connection, so for now it's not an issue. This feature is likely to come in the near future. I love the simplicity and convenience of something fully managed like Dropbox, but its pricing just isn't flexible enough for me. Since I already manage several servers I don't mind managing one more. I also like the idea of managing all the data myself, encrypted at rest as I've always been a bit concerned with privacy using services like Dropbox, Google Drive etc. Is there anyone else here who is using Nextcloud or similar solutions? I'd love to hear about it.

I was wondering why some videos had disappeared!

Ehm... perhaps it's because I haven't slept enough but how do I add a poll? lol

Yeah

I can't believe I'm the oldest so far :'(

I do incremental updates every few months/one year. I've just bought an RX580 and the next upgrade will likely be the CPU only (I've got an i6700K at the moment). I use the PC for development, video editing, virtual machines, gaming. Do you need all that ram for a few WMs? Wow. I run many VMs at the same time for testing and "only" have 32GB.

Ouch I feel old

Just curious about the average age of the members I'm 38.

I use Linux... I haven't used Windows in perhaps 15 years...

What trouble? These days Linux isn't more difficult to use than either Windows or MacOS. It's just a bit different, but I don't see all this "trouble". Only thing is games, I wish more people were using it so that would be less of a problem.

Nice channel!
