ピゴスパ<p>If you are like me, then you might have installed the <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GoogleAuthenticator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleAuthenticator</span></a> app, back in the days when it was the only solution out there for <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TOTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TOTP</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2FA</span></a>. </p><p>But that is long ago. Since then, <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> has closed-sourced it's solution, forced <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/cloudsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cloudsync</span></a> otto it's users and stores these information unencrypted; plus it's suspected to collect even more data from you than needed. And it's a US BigTech company.</p><p>I've looked into a couple of alternatives and landed with <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Aegis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aegis</span></a> and <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/EnteAuth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnteAuth</span></a> which are both excellent <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/free" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>free</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> choices from <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>europe</span></a>. I went with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@ente" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ente</span></a></span> because of it's larger platform support.</p><p>So why are you not already using an alternative? It's super easy, and took me less then 10 minutes:<br>1. On GoogleAuthenticator go to the ☰<br>2. Select transfer codes<br>3. Select all the codes you want to transfer --&gt; Google will create a number of QR-Codes, each containing 10 accounts.</p><p>On your alternative say import, and scan the Google codes and you're good to go and can let go of yet another proprietary US BigTech dependency (and thus liability).</p><p>If you are already using a different <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/TOTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TOTP</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2FA</span></a> app on your smartphone, which one is it, and why?</p>
Christiaan Kras<p>So recently <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OneDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OneDrive</span></a> hd a couple hundred thousand files to sync on my MacBook even though only a very small part of those files was actually on my system. Must've been some metadata stuff or something.</p><p>But today I logged into my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Synology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Synology</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NAS</span></a> to do a manual backup to an external drive (don't worry, I have automated backups offsite as well) and noticed <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CloudSync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CloudSync</span></a> couldn't sync anymore. Its folder didn't exist. But it did. Relinked OneDrive, and now it's merging files. What's there to merge???</p>
Gauff 🇪🇺<p>I *so* very much would like to use <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Synology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Synology</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/CloudSync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CloudSync</span></a> with <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/ProtonDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProtonDrive</span></a> as a destination, rather than "ugly" clouds like <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/OneDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OneDrive</span></a> </p><p>Will this happen <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>protonprivacy</span></a></span> ? Thanks!</p>
