Oh wow, neat program, and great job with the documentation! I'll comb through it when I get back to my desk. Thanks for the suggestion and for the excellent program!

Oh cool, I forgot about this app! Can it send only select photos, or is it all of them?

[–] Uncurious3512 1 points 2 weeks ago

Neat! That's great news, I'll be sure to try it! Thanks!

I think going through testflight might be too much of a barrier, but I'll look into it, thanks!

Its about 600 or so every few months. I'll have to look into iCloud ,but that could work. Thanks!

This looks very promising, thanks! I'll be sure to give it a try!

I've looked into Syncthing before but ruled it out due to lack of iOS support. Is that no longer the case?

600 or so every few months.

 

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a (ideally) FOSS app that can help me transfer a large amount of files between mobile devices. The exact scenario I'm trying to solve for is transferring large amount of pictures and videos from a family member's iPhone to my Android mobile phone.

I've tried a few solutions (see below list) but they all had some short coming or issue. I would ideally love something that has a mobile app that can be installed, but that's only because in my experience mobile web browsers tend to timeout / hang when dealing with a large number of file uploads at once.

  • Filerun - Filerun worked the best in my testing and, if there are no other suggestions, I'll probably return to this one, despite it not being FOSS.
  • Pingvin - Worked the next best, but would time out more frequently than Filerun. As long as I would batch the upload to only a few hundred pictures at a time and kept the screen alive, it would handle the upload.
  • PairDrop - Loved the simplicity of this web app and not having to send or deal with share links, however I was unable to get it to send uploads of more than ~100 files at a time.
  • Immich - Honestly, a perfect solution but since I'm only trying to send select pictures between devices, way overkill. Plus, family members were uncomfortable with a solution that gave the perception that it was automatically uploading ALL of their pictures to my server.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

This is true of SIPC too. See my original comment for details.

To all of you in the comments who are trying to give OP advice, thank you.

To OP, I'm sure you aren't doing it intentionally, but you're getting some great free advice from internet strangers, but your responses are coming off condescending and unappreciative.

To eco some of the others:

  • Get a tax accountant to help you plan for tax time. The cost is minimal and the savings could be impactful.
  • Invest the portion that you are not going to spend on taxes or the condo. You said you don't like Vanguard. Okay. Fidelity has a great mutual fund search tool that allows you to filter for other traits such a sustainability. Yields may be lower, but you do you.
  • Look into finding a fee only financial fiduciary to help you come up with an investment and retirement plan.
  • If you graduated Uni 10 years ago, I assume you are still young and are in your prime earning years / future life events (spouse, kids, etc) may alter your expenses. You may want to consider staying in the job market in some capacity until you're positive the income or skills are no longer needed.

Or ignore. It's your life. Congrats on the windfall and kudos on keeping your expenses so low. Best of luck!

I'm sure glad I knew what Web 3.0 was and totally didn't have to read this Wikipedia article.

A friend of mine just announced that they and their co-workers are going on a strike to protest poor working conditions and pay.

What are some concrete steps I can do to support them? What are some things they can do to ensure the strike gets attention and is successful?

Hey y'all, I'm just starting to dip my toes into learning more about the Steam Deck and was wondering how likely it is that we'll see refurbished OLED decks for sale by Valve around Black Friday?

If unlikely, what do you recommend as the best way to find a good deal on a used OLED for the holidays?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: To clarify, I'm only interested in the OLED version, despite the crazy good deals on a refurb LCD model!

 

Hi all! I'm trying to learn more about NixOS and wondering if anyone had an material they'd recommend that was Flake centric?

I'm planning to test drive NixOS on a secondary laptop as a learning opportunity- not planning on using it as a daily driver at this time, so I'm not too concerned about the learning curve; I realize it'll be a bumpy and steep road!

I did want to give a shout-out to @[email protected] and everyone who replied in the NixOS beginner resources thread! Tons of good content shared there that I'm still working my way through.
