There's a part of me that wants to build a self-hosted alternative to Google Drive because I'm not really satisfied with any of the existing FOSS cloud offerings.

There's another part of me that's staring at my giant pile of unfinished side projects and quietly screaming.

I swear there's a significant inverse relationship between how simple a device's instruction manual says setup will be and how simple it actually is.

Case in point: I bought some bluetooth tracking tags for my phone that said "Just press the on button, and your phone will detect them automatically". My phone did not automatically detect them. No amount of factory resetting or button mashing made the devices work. I ended up returning them the same day I bought them.
