  • It’s pretty much the same thing as using services that you can’t self-host and fork. I won’t spend time on any technology that I’m locked into using their app or a login. Is that pompous? I’ve used various services and technology that are proprietary, and invariably it’s bit me in the ass because they have a captive audience.

    I will never use a smarthome device that has to have a cloud account or would be bricked without an internet connection, because eventually it will be a brick because the profit incentive says brick it and get the marks to buy another one. That’s the point of that comment.

    I’ve used NC for a long time now in virtually every configuration available from bare metal to snap to NCP, the AIO is by far the easiest thing I’ve ever used to set up and maintain Nextcloud. I wouldn’t be climbing into bed with a proprietary oriented company instead. They will eventually fuck over the users, count on it.
