@ravi Your best bet is to search https://help.nextcloud.com/ and if you find no answer put in a request for help there. You will need to provide information such as how you have installed nextcloud such as baremetal LAMP stack, AIO, NextcloudPi, on docker, etc as well as other related information to allow fellow Admins to guide you.

As a start, try running the $ history command on the CLI to track where you may have made changes when setting it up.

@jwildeboer I read this and was instantly reminded of something I learnt when working with oriental rugs in IKEA:

"followers of Islam believe only Allah makes things perfectly, and therefore to weave a perfect rug or carpet would be an offence to Allah".

It is a form of protection for the creative mind. It is similar to the teachings of this TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert on the elusive creative genius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86x-u-tz0MA

#newpipe for YouTube content

@readbeanicecream @leszek @Techaltar Nice list.
Have you tried Newpipe for accessing YouTube on your Android phone?
As for browsers, have you tried Mull (Android) or Mullvad Browser (Windows/Mac/Linux) and/ or Brave? I find Mull the best although Brave a good backup.
Also have a look at using the AuroraStore and Droid-ify for your apps (both available from F-droid).

@leszek @Techaltar I said it once and I'll say it again...

@leszek @Techaltar go all the way and watch it on Newpipe (Android) or FreeTube (Windows/Mac/Linux). Enjoy YouTube without adverts like the good old days!
This is exciting - one of Bristol’s bigger high streets is going to be a no-through road for cars www.bbc.com/news/article...

Plans to ban cars from Bristol...
Plans to ban cars from Bristol's Park Street are approved

Plans to restrict traffic on the busy Bristol street are a step closer following a council vote.

@vfrmedia The fear is that the past will repeat itself. Remember the issues that plagued the Greenbank View area of Bristol and the number of suspected arson attacks that happened there seven years ago
