I dont understand the need for Quickshare/LocalSend. I rarely send files directly to a person near me - though I have occasionally shared a file via NextCloud but it was usually for someone across the net. If its small, like a picture, then its just Signal. And KDE Connect is excellent for sending files between my devices.

Am I missing another use case?

    I switched from synapse to continuwuity about 9 months ago and it has been a MUCH better experience. Also switched from Element to Sable recently and it is a much more comfortable and reliable client. Not much more complicated to set up than Discord IMHO.

    Every public request to one of my sites used to go through a Cloudflare tunnel. I had a cloudflared deployment in my cluster, some routing rules, and everything just worked. And it was free! But that bugged me. TANSTAAFL right? The whole point of selfhosting is to not rely on big cloud company, and there are few bigger than Cloudflare. And Cloudflare’s tunnels decrypt every single packet, so they see everything you do. I really don’t like that.

    So I’ve replaced Cloudflare tunnels with Erwan Leboucher’s towonel, a selfhosted tunnel implementation. I still have my DNS on Cloudflare, but no data is moving through them any more.

    Try to look past the terrible staging for this picture. I made frozen Margaritas for cinco de mayo from the first recipe I found and it was waaaay too strong. Heavy on the lime and heavy on the tequila. So I remixed it with some frozen strawberries. Like a lot of strawberries. In case it isnt clear I finished two of these before posting this. They are tasty and EFFECTIVE.

    • 1 cup tequila
    • 1 cup lime juice
    • 1/2 cup cointreau
    • 4 tbsp agave nectar
    • 2 cups frozen strawberries
    • 6 cups ice cubes

    Blend until smooth. Add some orange juice if you like. Why not? Do whatever you like. Its a party.

    Apologies for the silly US units.

    This was a quick meal from stuff I had laying around. Pork was seared in the instapot the cooked on high for 20 in a mix of apple juice, lemon juice, beef broth, and garlic chili paste. Potatoes could have been roasted longer. There wasn't enough color on them. I just roasted them until the broccoli was done.

    The broccoli stems were a surprise hit. I regret all the times I threw them out. I slice them thin at an angle, then stir fried them on high and finished with garlic chili paste and soy sauce. They are SO GOOD!

    I'm really happy with how it turned out. I was going to make the gnocchi from scratch, but I was running behind and saw them premade at the store. The roasted broccoli has become a staple in the house now. So freaking good.
