IMHO networked file systems have never not felt like magic to me. Sure my NFS share is only 12tb but I smile every time I use it
NFS is weird to me because the only security seems to be by what ip is connecting?
I only access it over a local network or wire guard. It's not perfect security, but also I'm willing to accept that risk.
And the encryption you hopefully put on your files.
If the server is going to serve them in a useful way, they need te be decrypted. Pretty inconvenient to decrypt every file before use.
I find that decrypting locally is piss-easy, you only have to do it once on mounting the drive. Maybe not if you use shitty devices like smart TVs.
You mean decrypting on the client, or full disk encryption on the server?
What are you using?
Decrypting on the client. Create an encrypted container on the server (e.g. with gocryptfs), mount the drive on the client, decrypt the container and mount the decrypted container as a drive.
I guess that works.
Be me
Switch to Linux
Wtf is a Dropbox again?

catbox does keep files permanently iirc, it's litterbox that doesn't
I use s-ul.eu for my occasional filesharing needs, downloads are no bullshit you click the link you have the file and never had issues with it. Not sure if storage limits on the free tier are lower than dropbox though.
Oh and you get your own url prefix.
Dope, thanks for the info!
Fake: anon existed happily Gay: lets daddy Satya penetrate their machine
Can someone enlighten me as to what is M$ doing this time?
I had to install windows the other day on my kids laptop, and had to skip like 10 screens of Microsoft ads and then disable OneDrive, but saw nothing about Dropbox.
Edit: my household has been using Mint for a few years now, the m$ enshitification was just too much for us. I only had to install windows on my kids school laptop because they won't accept anything else...
In this particular case, it's not windows since they started pushing one drive.
It's probably the PC manufacturer being paid by Dropbox to install it with system utilities.
One day, Linux will be ready for a no-headaches gaming PC. Genuinely looking forward to it.
Its mostly there if your ready to dump your League addiction. Proton Db has guides for the games that don't just work first try and most of the fixes are select a different launch option from a drop down in Steam.
Everyone will have a different experience based on their hardware, distro, and game preferences; But for me Linux has been a far less headache-inducing gaming platform than Windows literally for years at this point.
Yup
I have a gaming PC which I planned to setup a linux distro on for almost 2 years now. I just need to find the time to choose which distro, then debloat it, get the wifi, speakers, keyboard working, then install the required Nividia drivers, then optimize it and study wether OC its bios is worth it or no, then test optimal settings and compatibility, then compare my benchmark FPS results to similar ones on the internet, then open Steam and fucking game on brother lets go!
Easy as that!
already is for me!
I had this mindset for about 2 decades, from when I first played around in OpenSUSE and Compiz back in 2005 up to 2024 when I finally switched because of Windows 10 being put out to pasture by Microsoft. But since I'm now in my early 40s and no longer play competitive games as I used to 15 years ago, I've had zero problems with Linux and gaming.
So I totally understand your mindset as I too once thought the same.
Problem with waiting is of course that developers don't favor linux due to lack of people on linux playing game, so it's a vicious circle:
I hope you enjoy linux when you're ready.
anon, it's time to uninstall windows
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
