Never, they'll try again and again with different names, covered by different purposes and stuck to another law.

Since I'm kinda fan of Terry Pratchett, I naturally have HEX at home.

It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.

Same boat here, I have the 5 II and I absolutely love it. Great size, the camera is OK on auto but can do wonders in manual mode (depending on your skill).
The lack of software support is a bummer though. I was surprised it's not in LineageOS' official support anymore...

Do you use any custom ROM on your Xperia?

It's usually a butt call, it easily happens in your pocket or bag, specially if you have other items in it as well. Some phone/cupholders in car might be just the right shape to press the power button repeatedly when turning or going over bumps.
Sometimes I wonder how can people not notice they're calling emergency, because the phone usually makes loud noise and counts down before actually calling... But then I realise that if I have switched off notifications on my smart watch, I often miss a call ringing in my pocket, so...

If I can't have control over shit happening, then I just don't care.

I think it was Další Lama who said: "If a problem has a solution, there is no reason to worry. If there is no solution, worrying will not help."

I do have an Onyx Boox tablet, the Note 2 plus to be specific, and I do run Calibre and calibre-web on my home server.
Though I don't actually use calibre-web at all, and the full flat calibre only to organise the collection. Usually I just copy the files to my tablet manually, but I do leverage the built-in RSS reader in Calibre to create my own epub "newspaper" periodically, which is synced to the tablet by Synching.
I have also used to have (actually still have it, but not use it) an old Kobo touch with Koreader, and I intended to download the books wirelessly using the calibre-web, but honestly, I just copied it over an USB anyway...
If I think about it, I could simply sync my whole library over Synching.

Oh shoot, great, that should do it for now and is definitely eisier than setting out the nextcloud. Though I hope we will get our own nextcloud server somewhere down the line.
Thanks

I thought of google drive as well, even if I had to pay for expanding the capacity. Unfortunately it requires signing up to permit upload, download is permited to everyone with the link though.

Hi guys, this might or might not be entirely off topic. I am looking for a solution that would in a civilized manner allow me to gather photos and maybe videos from a bunch off poeple.

Background

There will be an anniversary at our local community and we are preparing a printed publication. Due to us being a bunch of incompetent, naive fools, all photos are spread across our memberbase. We don't have any collective storage or album.
We want to use these photos for our publication, thus we need to collect them from our members and to make things worse, it is really on short notice, we have like 14 days to pull this off.

What do we need right now?

  • Online upload
  • about 50 users
  • ages from teens to seniors
  • mostly Windows users, mixed Android, iOS and dumbphone
  • possible mobile app
  • Anybody with URL shall upload and edit folders
  • Shouldn't need to create account or log in
  • preferably folder structure (no AI sorting nonsense)
  • total size unknown - my estimate is <100GB
  • I don't care right now if it is FOSS or not

Right now preferably not self hosted

Wrong community, I know. But, my home server is not accessible outside LAN and I am afraid that I wouldn't set VPS fully working in time. I would be very happy and grateful for both advice for our current situation and for (FOSS) selfhosted solution we could use in the future. Hopefully I can finally convince everyone, we really need at least NAS, so there will be no next time... Cheers
