youdontknowjuli··on Google translate is a better writer than me
Trying with German ..

> Das hat mich etwas beunruhigt, denn meine Erfahrung mit Googles Übersetzungstools ist sehr unzuverlässig.

The experience is unreliable? You wouldn’t say or write that. Rather: in my experience google translate late tools are unreliable.

‘Meiner Erfahrung nach sind die Google Übersetzungstools unzuverlässig’

> Wenn Sie meine Beiträge in einer anderen Sprache als Englisch lesen können, würde ich mich sehr über Ihre Meinung dazu freuen . Vielleicht sagen Sie mir, dass ich übertreibe und die gegoogelte Version sogar besser ist. Oder vielleicht stimmen Sie mir zu. Ich wünsche dir auf jeden Fall einen wunderschönen Tag, tschüss

Sie und dir (vous et tu) the informal and formal pronouns in the same text..

Unreliable seems fitting.

youdontknowjuli··on Python type hints may not be not for me in practice

Sounds interesting. Can you elaborate on the cool hackery? We introduced SQLModel recently but struggle in a few cases (e.g. multi-level joins). Do you know reference projects for SQLAlchemy and pydantic?

youdontknowjuli··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
I really tried to make Nextcloud work for me but it was too much. I‘ll pay the enshittified Dropbox premium soon.

Some bugs I encountered in a few hours of testing and trying to make it work.

The Mac auto-update installs an incompatible version to my OS; the website offers only the new incompatible and an old version that also doesn’t work (OS can not scan the app). The solution is to find a suitable version from a hidden FTP, user-unfriendly.

Some files had modification timestamps on 1.1.1970 that causes obscure sync issues on Mac. Either run some arbitrary database scripts to fix this or a simpler solution is to ‘touch’ all affected files.

The Windows Client consistently shows random minus bytes, hangs, and freezes.

The Windows Client is stuck in a loop of calculations and transmissions. Also a reinstallation is impossible as AppData folder isn’t deleted during uninstallation.

A successful complete reinstall downloads all the existing files individually, creating conflicts with identical(!?) local and server files. Why is the file hash not checked before the download? It’s frustrating and seems poorly designed.

All bugs have open GitHub issues I didn’t bother to include. Some have open PRs for years. The last bug is open for 5 years now.
