If it fits your gaming profile, it's a pretty good deal.

LOL, ok, fair ๐Ÿ˜

You should in any case consider your backup strategy. If you have reliable backups, your fuckups can't be as bad anymore. If you don't have reliable backups, a "raw" storage doesn't help you either. Maybe even the contrary: you won't notice, if individual files get corrupted or even lost until it's too late. (Not talking about disk corruption, against which the right filesystem can guard you.... but I am not sure you trust filesystems either ๐Ÿ˜›)

Why does the storage layer of seafile scare you? Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files? The difference is the same. You get certain features in return:

  • Versioning is possible (so each file can have a history you can roll back)
  • Sync is very fast
  • It can sync incremental changes even of big files

You still have access via:

  • Web
  • Synced locally using Seafile Client
  • WebDAV
  • Mounted as network filesystem anywhere using SeaDrive.

I don't like the syntax, the runtime environment (which runs interpreted) and for PHP more than many other languages (aside from JS), a lot of code out there is hacked together horribly which makes me completely distrust the community.

Personally I stay away from anything that doesn't have a compiler.

I was in the same boat and therefore my nextcloud instance was mostly running for backwards compatibility with a few setups I have, while I mostly use seafile, immich and sogo. But a few days ago I updated to nextcloud hub 10 (I think that's with nextcloud 31 under the hood) and damn does that run smooth. I was so impressed I got motivated to finally setup the high performance backend for nc talk.

I still dislike PHP, but nextcloud just won back my heart a little.

On mobile I indeed also had that issue once. However I made sure they can't lock me out completely. The db is stored using the opensource sqlcipher, so one can open it and extract everything manually, if absolutely necessary. As long as they don't change this, I am fine. In the worst case that would still be a lot of effort for me, but not impossible.

The export has also improved a lot. You can now also export to JSON which includes all the data one could need.

If you don't have a hard requirement of it being fully (!) OpenSource, then I would recommend Enpass. Relatively pleasing UI that runs native on Win, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. It has browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox that talk directly to the running fat client (so no multiple authentication with different browsers necessary).

The password db is completely local, but it offeres several sync mechanisms like WebDAV or Dropbox or also iCloud; basically whatever can store files. If it's a NAS in your home, it simply will sync once you are back home.

It also offers "WiFi Sync", in which case you designate one machine running Enpass as the server and link other clients to it, then you don't even need to run a separate hosting for it (but that machine needs to be on and running Enpass when you want to sync, obviously).

It's basically a less open but much more convenient and beautiful KeePass(XC).

Nvidia rightfully earned their bad reputation on linux,

Really? IMO not with GPUs. They have released linux drivers for decades, and always in time for new kernel versions. ATI was typically way behind and buggy as hell. I would likely not have switched to Linux on the desktop in 2006 if it wasn't for my GPU "just working", without any fiddling. Performance was always equal to Windows and stuff like multimonitoring just worked. They even had their nice setup utility to configure Xorg for you.

Could they have handled the transition to Wayland better? Maybe. But claiming they earned a bad reputation in regards to GPU when they are the one big vendor that had extremely active linux support for ages is dishonest and unwarranted, IMO.

Which is why I asked, because we are in a linux comm here. I don't put aside games that do shit on Windows, as long as they work fine on Linux.

How would it work on Linux then?

I think CryptPad has delete-after-view.

Edit: yes, it has

True.

Although in Germany for example it can also be an issue when recording. If you have a security camera pointed at a public space (that can include the sidewalk infront of your house), passersby can sue you to take it down and potentially get you fined. Even pretending to constantly record such an area can yield that result.
