I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you’ve been missing out.

For me it’s not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it’s great. I probably can’t find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I’ve gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that’s not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

    Pair Drop

    Quickly send files, paste images/text snippets between devices.

    I’m using the older Snapdrop (which PD was forked from) with some patches I made to:

    • Work behind Authelia for SSO + 2FA
    • Use the display name provided by Authelia instead of the random usernames it gives out by default
    • Send transfers over the internet without dealing with the temporary “rooms” that Pairdrop uses (it’s behind Authelia, so only authorized users can get to it).

    It has 100% replaced emailing things to myself or shuffling files to/from Nextcloud. I probably use it to send text (URLs, clipboard contents, etc) to/from my phone as much as I use it for sending files back and forth.

        Nice! Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of it. Planning to eventually replace my custom Snapdrop with Pairdrop since they’ve made quite a few other improvements.

        I love KDE Connect but I can’t figure out how to get it to work at work. Probably some firewall thing. It works fine at home, but can’t find my phone at work.

            No I’m trying to use it with my work phone. I can’t connect my personal phone to the work wifi since it needs a certificate (802.1x) but there’s a separate guest network I can use if needed. Guest network is entirely isolated - different hardware, different backhaul, different IP range.
