Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times (lemmy.world)

If Nextcloud "caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself" I would probably do something unsavory to any responsible party I could locate, and take 10 TB of data out of their lousy hide.

Yeah the first time was the time/date bug they had (still have?) where it set the time on every folder and file to 00/00/0000 00:00 across all clients and the server.

Second time was I disabled virtual file support on my laptop so it would sync everything, but instead it went and wiped all the files from the server, because for some reason their sync client assumed the laptop that now had no files on it should be the master source or something.

Their own docs even state that's how you're supposed to disable VFS, with no mention that it will wipe your server clean.

It would be absolutely sublime if it worked. Literally every step resulted in an error. EVERY STEP.
