  • Every car I’ve owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .

    For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)

    • 35mph -> 50km/h
    • 60mph -> 100km/h
    • 70mph ->110km/h

    Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.

    However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.

    I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.







  • 28 days later…

    OK. I’ve been using Nubo daily for 28 days. So far I’m really liking it.

    Although, mostly, I realize that I like Nextcloud.

    The main value-add Nubo brings is 1. They host Nextcloud for you. 2. It may be cheaper than hosting yourself.

    If you want to host your own Nextcloud, then you can definitely forget about Nubo. If you care about maximum privacy and security, then forget about Nubo.

    If you don’t want to host your own Nextcloud, or if hosting your own Nextcloud is too expensive, then that’s where Nubo shines. €3.5 is a competitive price. And everything just works, WebDAV, CalDAV, CardDAV, notes, todos.

    Things I don’t like:

    • Nubo is running an old, deprecated version of Nextcloud, 25.0.6.1. The latest version is 31 something.
    • You really have to hunt for good client apps.
    • The service is kinda slow. (Although, I’m in the US, so that’s part of the problem.)

    Overall, Nubo has made it really easy for me to de-Google. Technically, I still haven’t used their email service yet. I’m still with my old provider, but I do think I’ll switch over to their email eventually.
