    Your first example is tax fraud if you hide it

    Edit: it looks like you edited your post to state the guy repairing your bike is “your friend”.

    Noone is going to go after him if he just fixes your bike. But if he fixes the bike of his 1000 friends each month, they will go after him if he didn’t declare it.





  • The article doesn’t even discuss how financial survillance is related to democracy.

    I just looked for the paragraphs where “democracy” is discussed and it’s nowhere stated how it is threatened by financial survaillance.

    Whatever the author states in the article, it’s not about a threat to democracy. I go even further and state that monitoring all financial transactions is good for a democracy. Today, almost all transactions are monitored anyway.




  • I had a horrible experience with nextcloud on a pi. I have a great experience on a good server. It stores files. It does that very well for me. Clients work reliable.

    Nextcloud apps are sometines good and sometimes not. It can do everything. One should let navidrome serve music and not nextcloud. Mealie is for recipes. Jellyfin for videos and immich for images. Paperless for documents.

    Nextcloud is file storage, backup, syncing and maybe collab. That’s what I expect and that’s what I get.

    It’s not a disaster. That’s overstating it. It just leaks some metadata to the server. Nothing that’s inherently wrong with it and which won’t be solved over time.

    Some may don’t like that everything is stored on the server compared to signal where it only transits the server. But for companies or gov that should be/is mandatory. And it makes handling cross client and updating devices a lot easier for normal consumers.
