so far it's looking like MicroSIP under Wine might be the least-worst option.
SMS does appear to work with PhonerLite but the UX is terrible.
*outbound* SMS worked with Linphone but inbound didn't work out of the box.
I'm still using Voip.ms for occasional texting, it's been like a week or two and the experience on Android hasn't upset me.
I still need to figure out how to stay logged in on desktop but I feel like that's got to be a solvable problem, and also I care less about it.
time to change my Signal number to match, and update my phone number with any entities I want to have the new one... I think I'm finally done with Google Voice for real & forever.
like, is #GoogleDivorce or #AppleDivorce or whatever a production ready hashtag for normies? no way.
but oh my god the leaps and bounds being accomplished by people working to bring us all closer. it's nice to see.
I finally discovered something that Yalp Store can do which Aurora Store can't: download a previously purchased app which is only available to previous buyers, but not for new ones. Yalp Store could load it when I typed in the com.foo.bar name, Aurora couldn't.
I think I'll save the APK for every app I've purchased so I don't have to deal with this again.
For all other uses, BTW, Aurora Store blows Yalp out of the water. The quality comparison isn't even close.
So far my #GoogleDivorce is going well, but I'm trying to do so many things at once. Also a #Lastpass divorce.
So, which Android #KeePass app is the sweet spot between stable and cleanest UI? Bonus points if you know it deals well with having its database synced once a day or so.
I've finally managed to install #Nextcloud.
- It's extremely picky about apache configuration. I needed to clean house, remove a ton of wildcards, and configure very granular permissions for just the nextcloud path.
- It has a lot of moving parts and is really bad at telling you what is wrong with any of them. Webdav not working? Generic, unsearchable error. Webdav working but can't do anything because of permissions? Generic 503.
But this is a big step forward in the #GoogleDivorce.
I also attempted to install Nextcloud for the fourth time today, and failed.
It's a PHP app. I've been installing PHP apps since 2004. I run numerous PHP apps, and have authored no small number of them myself. It should not require a dedicated VPS running nothing else in order to get it working, it should work alongside my existing apps. Alas, it does not.
I do want to get away from Google Drive, but Nextcloud is not going to be the way.
Seriously, that limit doesn't need to exist. It's there because of an arbitrary decision.
#gcal is actually buggy and not great, let alone the personal-data vampire squid issue. But I'm not aware of any EXTREMELY RELIABLE alternatives for Android. Ffffffffff #googledivorce
I'm approaching the next stage in my #GoogleDivorce. It is time to migrate/copy all of the email in my gmail archive to my self-hosted mail server.
What's the least-bad tool for this?
