When I was looking to replace my google tools, I couldn’t find an easy to to alternative Google Photos. Things that were suggested like immich or Synology or ente required some level of technical know how or dedicated hardware. I ended up buying a Synology drive but I have issues with loading images/videos (it’s extremely...
Google bans new acounts that never used in official playstore before
Use a spare gmail acount that you have also used with playstore
Anonymus logins also get rate limits or get banned
As for alternative
App lounge from /e/ OS uses auroraOSS Gstore api to download from playstore so it’s basically like using aurora
Other than that the are Python scripts you could use on termux but those also need a proper gmail account
Same apply to linux/windows programs available
I always used my “normal” google account in Aurora also been using this account with microg since ages Never had an issue I don’t care if the account gets banned though.
I hope this is not considered a low-effort post, but I wanted to ask if using stock Android without signing in to your Google account/ using Play Store is worth it. It should be more private, right? I’m planning on buying the cheapest Samsung phone there is (probably the A14). I currently have a stock Android Oneplus phone. I...
Aurora store with a google account for playsrtore apps. Fdroid is also installed and I do regullar visits on their website and also on izzyondroid site for new apps. I’ve tried syncthing but sync got corrupted and lost files while trying to figure out what went wrong (maybe a missconfiguration from my side I’m not sure).I never used it again
Their release scheme is questianable yes as you said alpha and beta released in play store only then comes the fdroid release As long as there is an fdroid release I cant blame them really but you got a fait point
Feature wise they developed their own open autofill and swipe libs plus I love the layouts. Actually builded my own layout but I like the over logic with bottom / top rows, gesture navigations etc
Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart...
Nextcloud is an overkill. Its just too much. I’d say better split down the needed services. Baikal/radicale etc for contacts/calendar. Photoprism/librephotos etc for photos. A webdav server for storage. And so on.
[Help] I have been having ALL of the possible issues with NextCloud AIO and I'm about to give up completely if I can't get it working soon
I’ve NEVER had this many problems with a docker container before, this is getting WAY past the point of being ridiculous....
Looks like finaly there is a decent alternative to Google Photos (stingle.org)

Alternatives to Aurora store?
Hi, all!...
Feature request payment to devs
Just a thought in relation to the debate of payment models used in Foss an closed code projects that got going with the sync app (and elsewhere)....
