No kidding. Too bad these are so big I'll never need one of my own. But hopefully the datacenters see these rolling in soon.

Some of the press releases have confirmed the big providers already have them in use, so yes, they're already being deployed.

GoTo (Formerly known as LastPass) has customer accounts breached...

@scottalanmiller Well GoTo owns Logmein and Lastpass so both products were breached one way or the other.

LogMeIn was the company, they rebranded to GoTo.
LastPass isn't owned by GoTo, but used to be. There shouldn't be any crossover. Breaching LastPass' stuff wouldn't imply that GoTo was breached too.

They had an issue on Friday that affected people with GEO blocking......After research we found some of the IP's trying to respond were based in India. Unblocking India from GEO fixed it. I imagine companies that are government or companies based in the UK would be able to sue the pants off them.

India blacks out Internet for Punjab for fourth straight day:
27 million people in Internet blackout.

Nextcloud 26 is out. (I didn't even realize 25 had been released, lol).
Seems like a lot of glitzy stuff has been added.

Nice, I need to check out the latest.

This might just spark my interest to give Nextcloud a try again. Years ago, I gave up on self hosting my photos because it just wasn't "wife approved" enough for me. It was clunky and didn't "just work". So I chose to just go with auto backup with Amazon Prime Photos. That has been OK, but I do have to pay for it. My new idea to prove out is:
Have an app on iOS that automatically syncs all of our photos to a local server in my house. (I don't care what that is....nextcloud, something else that's better, whatever) Then nightly, sync that with Backblaze B2.
This seems like a simple concept, but years ago, it just wasn't user (wife) friendly. Maybe with the new release of nextcloud, this will be better?

FOr this I use Flickr. Way better than Amazon Photos.

I'm going to say...unlikely. While I love nextcloud and it's a great tool, it's not a photo application. You can't compare it to things designed for that. There are self hosted Flickr alternatives that would make more sense if you wanted to go that way.
-
Nexcloud Photos 2.0 (https://nextcloud.com/athome/) seems like it got better. But who knows.
Then there is this: https://www.photosync-app.com/home.html But that is just a sync tool.

I've been using this feature since I started using NextCloud.
App goes on phone and when it detects a folder with media in it (pics or videos), it asks "Do you want to sync this?" And you get some options to pick from.
The more recent versions (19 and up) have been great for me as far as syncing goes.

I just upgraded mine this morning. Only one of my apps (Music) isn't compatible, but I can deal with that until it gets updated.

After I build out my new proxmox box, this will be the first thing I spin up. If I like the app to do basic viewing, organizing, etc, AND it syncs properly, I would call that a win. We will see!

Nice! I'm trying, but the only options I have for fiber out here are Kinetic by Windscream... I can't do that unless I have a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good reason to use Windscream.
