[ale] Of password managers and family...

[DJ-Pfulio]

I've been running NextCloud for about 6 months.
It is only accessible via VPN or ssh-socks proxy.
I'm not comfortable having a php webapp on the internet.

Seafile is a python-based alternative. The "Ask Noah" show tried many
different personal-cloud services and was able to break the synchro for
owncloud and nextcloud, but not for seafile.  Guess it depends on the
number of concurrent users to the different files.  I don't think the
seafile ecosystem is as large as nextcloud's.

NextCloud-news has become my primary RSS feed organizer. All clients see
the same feeds, already read articles, etc.  THAT alone is worth it to
me.  Been through a few upgrades. Most have been 4 click-painless.
Android clients for NC and NC-News work well.  The music player and
photo gallery are bonuses.

Anyone missing "read-it-later?"  Wallabag is a self-hosted version of
that. It makes a local copy and strips all the ads/cruft.  Many of those
multi-page articles are handled too. Some articles won't get pulled, but
at least the link to the original is maintained.  Android clients for
Wallabag are pretty good. They download/cache the articles, so if you
sit in waiting rooms without any data, you can still always have
articles to read on your tablet.  There's an export-to-epub tool as
well, if you have an e-reader.

Anyways, there are many self-hosted tools like these.  Pretty much
anything you would use facebook, twitter, google, apple and other
"cloudy" company services for is covered by professional, self-hosted,
projects now.  Most will run on a r-pi, so the barrier to entry is
extremely low.
