No More Unclear Error Messages

My sync client currently shows me several different error messages:

Cannot sync due to invalid modification time
Server replied "500 Internal Server Error" ... Legacy cipher is no longer supported! How does this help the average user or even the admin? I had to duckduckgo the error messages and ended up in some 5 year old forum posts that didn't help me solve the problem.

It would be cool, if every error message contained a link to a solution. Or better: if the user doesn't have admin privileges, the error message should just say "Error, contact your admin and tell them Error 1234 occurred." And then the admin can look up the error and the solution.

BTW: Does anybody know, how to fix my two problems? :-D

Maybe your webserver or an external server which is used by Nextcloud is using outdated ciphers. Ciphers are configured in the webserver TLS configuration, for example in Apache with the following line either in the configuration of the TLS/SSL module or maybe in a separate file which is created by the Let's Encrypt client when running in "Apache mode":

SSLCipherSuite          ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

You may also check the affected server using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
