Also, at some point during manufacturing they hang it by the holes.

Never, they’ll try again and again with different names, covered by different purposes and stuck to another law.

Nice ones! Since it ain’t a server I haven’t mentioned it, but I had my WiFi ssids named CLACKS.

Since I’m kinda fan of Terry Pratchett, I naturally have HEX at home.

Same boat here, I have the 5 II and I absolutely love it. Great size, the camera is OK on auto but can do wonders in manual mode (depending on your skill).
The lack of software support is a bummer though. I was surprised it’s not in LineageOS’ official support anymore…

Do you use any custom ROM on your Xperia?

Definitely not intentional. Even if you are fidgeting with the power button, while being bored, the phone makes so much fuzz about it, when you hit the right combo. You would need to be deaf, blind or dead not to notice you’re just about to call emergency. Or startled by the noise, panic and throw your phone out the window followed by a brick, hammer and grand piano…

It’s usually a butt call, it easily happens in your pocket or bag, specially if you have other items in it as well. Some phone/cupholders in car might be just the right shape to press the power button repeatedly when turning or going over bumps.
Sometimes I wonder how can people not notice they’re calling emergency, because the phone usually makes loud noise and counts down before actually calling… But then I realise that if I have switched off notifications on my smart watch, I often miss a call ringing in my pocket, so…

I do have an Onyx Boox tablet, the Note 2 plus to be specific, and I do run Calibre and calibre-web on my home server.
Though I don’t actually use calibre-web at all, and the full flat calibre only to organise the collection. Usually I just copy the files to my tablet manually, but I do leverage the built-in RSS reader in Calibre to create my own epub “newspaper” periodically, which is synced to the tablet by Synching.
I have also used to have (actually still have it, but not use it) an old Kobo touch with Koreader, and I intended to download the books wirelessly using the calibre-web, but honestly, I just copied it over an USB anyway…
If I think about it, I could simply sync my whole library over Synching.

Thanks to everyone for ideas and your time. We have set a dropbox account and sent out a file request link, it is filling up already.
When this anniversary is over, on our next meeting I will bring up the possibility of deploying our own NAS with nextcloud at our building.
Cheers

I know of it but haven’t tried it yet. For my personal needs I actually use Zerotier to connect to my server remotely, but having two IP adresses is a bit anoying and not family friendly. Also it doesn’t work 100% of the time, sometimes I have troubles connecting. When the right time comes and I will get my IPv6 address I will switch to Wireguard to tunnel home, but until then…
In my case right now, any VPN is out of question, as it doesn’t meet the no-authorization condition, and I don’t want 60 people poking around on my LAN.
But thanks anyway, I might try Tailscape over zerotier to see if it is better.

Oh shoot, great, that should do it for now and is definitely eisier than setting out the nextcloud. Though I hope we will get our own nextcloud server somewhere down the line.
Thanks

I do run Nextcloud on my home server, and in an ideal world I would like to use it as I have sufficient disk space, even though my internet connection speet would be the bottleneck. The problem is, I am at the moment hidden behind a hell of a NAT maze and my server is simply not accessible from outside, even with VPN.
I have found out in the meantime, As you said, I found out as well, Nextcloud permit uploading without need for signing up. I am now thinking about setting up an acount at some Nextcloud provider, but they seem to by limited by capacity…

I thought of google drive as well, even if I had to pay for expanding the capacity. Unfortunately it requires signing up to permit upload, download is permited to everyone with the link though.
