I tested it for the other use-case, and it fails after the Save button turns in to a loading sign for ~20s in the foreground.

I find it plausible for caching network file access being hard, but just plain file download and upload failing unclearly, getting stuck, and being slow?

Pardon, this grew to a rant.

With Drive it's about 40 minutes with a 50/50 (minimum 30) WiFi → LTE hotspot connection.

I've tried many things over the years, but by far iOS is only suitable as a single/few-purpose, and even then wonky.

An example case of 15 files of new sheet music, each typically around 5-8M, larger 20M, some gigantics 200M. With 90% typicals and 10% larger, transfer via the Files app doesn't complete in a day (with power saving turned off, WiFi, and charging).

I love pre-downloading stuff on iOS before low-bandwidth or time-sensitive tasks just for it to require full redownload, require connectivity for a small part of it (affecting access to the whole file) or the directory listing where the file is being unavailable.

- Get stuck uploading the files;
- Upload the files a few months later;
- Remote contents are outdated, can't refresh;
- Download failed, can't restart, force restart, resume, nothing;
- Slow transfers;
- No clear indication whether a file is completely uploaded or downloaded.

2) Uploading forScore backup archives of the current library (1.4G-2.1G).

I've gotten used to distrust transfers via the Files app. WebDAV, Google Drive, and Nextcloud all (when handling multiple files (5+) of 5-10M or large (150M+)):
April 4, 2025 at 4:41 PM
¹ Due to arbitrary backup limits of iOS — I can't provide my own storage backend.

It could, however, replace one of my uses for Nextcloud (bug king of any app I've used, for 10 years):
1) Accessing remote files. Certain directories read-only, others read-write (may overlap with bind mounts).
April 4, 2025 at 4:41 PM
It wouldn't solve my use-case for it, as my src-dst on the laptop are impromptu directories.

Most often, I aggressively¹ archive multi-file named collections out of forScore, creating and recv a folder each on the Linux side + sanity check for corrupted exports (forScore fault, about every 15-20).

For dreaming, offline P2P (with EU regulations) would be nice asw. TS did not work on an Airplane.

As for the multi-passkeys, in my model it's a major risk (for root of truth) to trust an external auth provider. I'm signed in to GitHub in many places, and can access TS admin without confirmation.

Today I have to constantly reauthenticate my primary device (to clear tags for Taildrop), and login.tailscale.com to re-add them (for everything else).

I wish it sent a notification (for first file in series), 'click here to recv', so I don't have to find-switch apps, select all, share to app.

Sprint and Marathon (@techaltar.bsky.social youtu.be/TjxKu_WQoBU). It feels like the learnings were shaped by Wireguard, core design.

What I'd like addressed, in the marathon, — Taildrop working with ACL tags; allowing multiple passkeys on account (for same-user features).

Fuck, wish I could've finished with footnote 4, on a good note.

Addiction as a thing you do regularly, and isn't all positive. No, addiction is blatant, it can't be bended, it's a parasite.

Similarly, earlier I didn't mention shocking as numb 'shocking news', but as deeply and fundamentally shocking. Standing there happily, but rooting in an absurd, gross lie.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Depression hit, and I couldn't pick myself up, out and moving. Days and all-nighters were spent in the garbage. External controls don't help.

I find it wrong to name it an addiction, its more extreme, and I haven't recovered. Maybe it is how the word has changed, gone casual.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
It didn't help. Even when posting, I get stuck for half a day in the app. I don't know what to do, to get my content out, but not participate in my and other's addiction.

It used to be controllable, as I literally didn't have time to scroll. Then due to a dumb mistake, I lost my timesink.

1) Real life is reflected there, including my own style of posting. In the uninstall-reinstall-to-post cycle, I renamed the app Postagram (to define purpose, idk?).

[back from the (checks notes) aside-footnote, again] The problem with Instagram(/Facebook) is that it is only 99% garbage. 2) It has seldom worked for discovery for my aesthetics toe.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Occasionaly top-grade relevant meme-funny, in the style of 'reelationship' happens. It might be its healthy to not be in the extremes, or the spiraling-toxic behaviour leaks.

It is possible to hang out, it's magical.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Avoiding sharing in to the group. We do still share, but maybe its different. The first sharing is like in a 'reelationship', of only sending, without further discussion. What we share is genuinely useful, or sparks discussion, or asking for help with a problem.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
I know it is possible. The one single group I'm in. 20 members, 2-5 active in a day, maybe a set of 8-10 + the ones who read, and/or once a quarter/year come out of the grave to reply/post.

One of the unspoken rules (tbh it is written down in the 10 meme ones) is to not stream.

⁴ It's still a fact that people you don't meet daily are hard to keep up the relationship, or even remember. I can't put my finger on a good solution.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
[back from the aside] I intentionally forced myself in to Instagram to educate myself. I have gotten a dozen good posts out of it, I feel better publishing. Plausibly, retained 3 friends⁴.
January 3, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Picking a sample size, say 20, 100, or 200. Writing down, or mentally noting, how many are extraordinary, good, fair, meh/bad, and ugly. Even fair is a high bar.

³ Another pair of platforms is Instagram and TikTok.
[uhh topic change] When I first started unsubscribing with blogs, I had to sell it to myself by dumbing it down to numbers.
