Hi everyone,
I currently use Telegram to send photos, PDFs and text messages between my Android phone and my Debian laptop. It works, but everything goes through a third-party server, and I would like a fully local, privacy-friendly alternative.
What I need: Send photos, PDFs and other files in both directions (phone ↔ laptop) Send short text messages or clipboard content Works locally
Thanks for any advice and experience!


You might be able to use War & Peace to clear the app caches. Make sure that you have less space than the space that the movie War & Peace will try to use. Try to rent War & Peace from the iTunes store. When your iPhone runs out of space, it will clear caches to try to free up enough space.
Wow, thanks, I first thought that’s some trolling (from you), but then I thought that’s some trolling (from Apple). Apparently that’s better than just give us the clear cache option.
You’re welcome. About how much space was cleared up for you?
