Hello! How are folks self-hosting online storage, similar to Google Drive?

Some options I've found:

• https://filebrowser.org/ (maintenance-only mode)
• https://www.seafile.com/en/home/ (weird disk layout scares me)
• https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/ (i like simple!)
• https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

A bunch more: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#file-transfer---web-based-file-managers

I mainly just need basic file management features. I don't plan to share files outside of my tailscale VPN. I do need to support multiple users though.

I'm not considering Nextcloud because that seems too big. I'm also not considering syncthing for this project because I don't want copies on multiple devices.

I'm currently just using ssh+nautilus and that's worked great for just me, but something similar to Google Drive would be easier to onboard my family.

Nastya Buryk was just 4 years old when her mother, Mariya, noticed that something was seriously wrong.

Nastya went to a hospital in Odesa, where the family lived, but the kind of treatment recommended for her was not available there. Artem took a leave of absence from the (Ukrainian) military to be with his family and decide what to do.

The parents learned that they could get state-of-the-art treatment for Nastya in Israel. They decided Mariya would take their daughter there while Artem stayed behind to keep fighting.

On June 15, Iranian missiles struck the city of Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv where the family was staying.

The apartment where they lived had been partially destroyed in a missile strike, killing and injuring many civilians. Among the dead were Nastya, Mariya, Nastya’s grandmother, and the two young cousins.

The news reached Nastya’s father the next day, when the girl’s aunt called him. “She told me to sit down,” Artem said. “I sat down and she told me that a missile hit the building in Israel and killed everyone.”

I have a bunch of Ankers, and of course at least one of them was part of this.

Now I know a country is not the same as a city, but my country, the Netherlands, is small and densily populated, so maybe they're somewhat comparable?

I hear Mandami is considered from extreme-left to what he professes himself as democratic socialist, which to me would mean left-wing. I however keep pushing every US politician one or two positions to the right, but that's just vibes. So I would like to compare his stances to at least five political parties from my country, but where do I start?

Should I post an ask Lemmy on each topic how they compare to Mandami starting with housing? Because I would imagine the stances of each party on just one topic would already make quite a long post.

Original question by @Shatur@lemmy.ml

After reading this article, I started thinking about buying AR glasses. Could anyone share their experience with them? Also, does anyone here own AR glasses and wear contact lenses? I know it's possible to add prescription lenses to such glasses, but it would be inconvenient to remove my contacts every time I want to use AR glasses.

I posted about my very visceral reaction to K-On! last month and I did not expect to find another show that would surprise-gut-punch me with all the feels so quickly.

I've had Medalist on my watch list since it came out at the beginning of the year and I've put it off for quite some time because I'm not a sports guy and figure skating just wasn't much of a draw to me. I had seen here and there people recommending it, often people who clearly shared my taste, but it wasn't from a studio I was familiar with, it isn't about a thing I'm particularly interested in, and on Anilist the genres are listed as "drama", "psychological", and "sports". I assumed it was some maudlin, depressing thing. Boy, was I wrong.

Now I don't think the tags are wrong, per se, but this show is funny, heartwarming, and brilliantly upbeat, as well as being a dramatic, and occasionally intense, sports anime. I think I cried in more episodes than I didn't, but always happy tears. I am a 40 year old childless man and this show made me wonder if I wanted kids. I still don't, I'm pretty sure, but fuck me if this show doesn't make being a teacher or coach look like the most rewarding career.

The show's direction and performances are fucking gripping. The CG is very well executed, and the 2D animation is stellar. In the actual skating sequences, the direction and use of more expressive surrealist elements like motion lines and vignettes really drive home the beauty and difficulty of the sport. It's legitimately some impressive filmmaking.

Inori and Tsukasa are both adorable goofballs with deep-seated trauma and hearts of gold. Tsukasa is also INCREDIBLY hot, not just because he's a dancer and athlete but because he's kind and empathetic and patient. Inori is so charming and so strong, while still really feeling like a 10 year old girl. It's so painful to see her sad and so joyous to see her happy. They both believe in each other, and help the other to believe in themselves.

They use exaggerated cartooning a lot which I always love; like Bocchi The Rock or Maomao from Apothecary Diaries, they aren't afraid to make the characters larger than life and go way off model. It really uses the medium of animation to great effect, something I'm always happy about. Special shoutout to Mike-chan and her hilarious cat eyes.

This thing is a masterpiece, full stop. I'm a little pissed at myself for not picking this one up earlier, but if I'm gonna take anything away from this show, it's that it's never too late.
