I've tried KDE Connect but found it too buggy to use daily.

I don't understand why people in this thread try to send sms through the mobile network, I'm confused. Is this not available outside Canada? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago I don't know what it's like in Canada, but in the US tons of people use MVNOs instead of straight subscribing to one of the big 3 carriers, so guessing what the domain name for each one, or getting everybody to text your email so you can find out, is just tedious. permalink fedilink source parent [–] owatnext@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I use that for my NAS to "text" my phone if the power goes out and it shuts down gracefully on the UPS. permalink fedilink source parent
