"near-continuous emergency alerts" -- https://mastodon.social/@gamehawk/102322477412943170
I know what Karen means. I received over 150 alerts (mostly for river flooding in #KS and #MO) yesterday alone. They aren't always at this pace, but I don't think there has been a day since January without at least one river flooding alert. I've stopped forwarding the info to the kids because it is just too much.
I honestly think #NOAA / #NWS and other alerting authorities need to sit down and figure out a way to reduce and consolidate and simplify the alerts, so that alert fatigue is less of an issue. -

@lnxw48a1 Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are ranking prestige providers. The House of Saud owns a wing at Clinic for when they get sick rather than get care in Riyadh.

@clacke As I end up putting it Friday to someone, no, they hadn't reached the Fairy Godmother Department.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are promoting the work of a single author about concentration camps who has published only one book. The field is a bit wider than all these stories citing the same Andrea Pitzer: https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=su%3AConcentration+camps+History+20th+century.&qt=hot_subject

@lnxw48a1 @geniusmusing @brandon Please not a GS-9 or higher. I would conduct the drumhead court martial myself if that were the case.

So Dropbox is starting to focus more on being a portal for business and less on being that big dumb syncing drive that we all want.
If I were to ditch Dropbox and start exploring other options what would be the closest to the Dropbox experience. That is: syncing files between Ubuntu and Android devices, grabbing photos off of my Android phone, and handling merge conflicts on a text file without mangling the file.
Recommendations?

One small wrinkle is that I'm rather attached to a program called SimpleTasks for handling my todo.txt. I think the only things that it will sync with are owncloud and Dropbox.

@craigmaloney Syncthing or NextCloud. I think syncthing is probably what you are looking for, but I think its easier to backup NextCloud.

@gedvondur @craigmaloney this. Depending on how dumb you want it to be, Nextcloud can do many things: sync your contacts and calendar, upload your photos, fetch RSS for you. I don't have experience with Syncthing but I think it's very simple and just fetches new versions of files?

@charlag @craigmaloney Exactly. Syncthing is very simple, no central point, where NextCloud is comprehensive. I run a nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi with a 4tb external USB drive on it. Not super fast, but okay. Then I back it up onto my Synology.

@charlag @craigmaloney Now that I think about it, Synology Cloud Drive would also serve as a good replacement, but it means buying a Synology NAS.

@gedvondur What's wrong with a Synology NAS?

@dredmorbius @charlag @craigmaloney Nothing. Been using them for years. Just a lot more expensive solution than the other two and some folks are "OPEN SOURCE ONLY." So I usually start with those solutions.
