    For Dropbox like stuff I use Nextcloud. Means I can select which files I want to download on my phone. For individual transfers of files a la airdrop I use Tailscale’s Taildrop

    Thank you for this. A while ago I was doing a fair bit of Elixir in my spare time, so this has given me a reason to pick it up again. Going to give it a go myself

    I still have it but rarely login and have unfollowed most “friends”. I don’t belong to any groups or anything, so it’s pretty boring. The main issue is the same messenger. Occasion…

    Funny how only Facebook is making these statements? I am sure that a multitude of other services (Dropbox, Twitter, etc) also require data transfer between Europe and the US. /s Oh…

    That's a really good description of what I tend to do a lot of the time. I do enjoy playing with and evaluating "things" but rarely get to the point of "expert" with them before th…

    Ask HN: Is it OK to not have a “thing”?
