alt Hacker NewsYep, even with something like NextCloud or ownCloud it gets tiring pretty fast. I do get the appeal of handling everything on your own, but it also brings any of the downside of handling everything by myself. I just need a working cloud storage with sync, redundancy, and availability. Can I get it up to spec? Definitely but it will cost more both in time and money than getting OOTB solution.
I gave up sync and availability for sensitive data to at-rest encryption. Mundane photos/documents can stay on Google Drive, for now. I wish there's a better solution.

Yeah but I thought we have AGI now and you can just vibe code your own custom roll up of anything in an hour, no expertise required... Right... Right?

I haven't touched my nextcloud installation in maybe 9 months and I've been running it for about 1.5 years.
When there is a problem it's now very easy to fix, I just point an agent at it. It syncs to my phone, my laptop, and several other people's as we use it for a small business.
It's not perfect but neither were any of the commercial things we'd tried before.
