Ridiculous design choice in #Icecubes for the #iPad : you can't download a vid until you press a a small i with a circle around it, for more information, presumably. The download button is buried three taps deep. It's not a first class button, but is rather a third class button: 1) i with a circle, 2) Upload icon, 3) upload to where? "Save Video", with a down arrow. That's the download button you were wanting.

Totally unergonomic. i -> Upload -> Download.

About as easy as bestowing 30 lives on yourself when playing Contra on the original Nintendo. I truly save these videos (and photos) later on in bulk to #Copyparty, exfiltrating them from the "Walled Garden" of the "Photos" app - where the Videos are confusingly also stored.

It's so simple that it's complicated. All this to try to hide the existence of a logical and usable filesystem

Huh. Syncing files should not be a complicated thing, yet the existing projects for this all seem to be weird in some way:

* I couldn't figure out how to set up authentication for Syncthing, everything was world-writable
* Seafile looks near perfect... except the setup is way overcomplicated even though they use Docker
* Copyparty has no bidirectional sync

Suggestions welcome!

ICYMI: Not every file sharing situation needs Nextcloud. Sometimes simple is better. #selfhosting #homelab #copyparty

Sometimes you just need a simple file server. Copyparty runs in Docker with two files and takes about 5 minutes to set up. No fluff, just files. #selfhosting #homelab #copyparty

I've made a new #Blogpost about #Copyparty 💾🎉

Finally managed to make a quadlet of #copyparty (took a little too long because I accidentally mismatched the volume names).

The thing

• is absurdly fast
• has a UI that's all over the place
• uses abbreviations everywhere (gah)
• is left aligned rather than centered (my neck)
• has no x margins (ugh)
