You took the words out of my mouth, lol.

[-] shapis@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I'm honestly sad reading this because there's an actual very real chance some of these come true, and probably way before 2050 lol.

Of course, no local encryption of data. The Cloud will keep all your data safe for you!

Literally 1984

Prob overshot the date by about 25 years.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I have made a decentralized storage protocol, and an implementation for it, anyone interested in checking it out?

I'm terrible at promoting things, but it's FOSS and encrypted and quite takedown safe.

You can publish a website with it for example (update it as you like), or build a chat app onto it (I have an example), people with the "link" file can access it, nobody else can.

Hopefully a first step in sharing information freely.

Cheers

Valmond

I got a Synology NAS recently and it’s super nice…has a photo app, can be used as a VPN, you can even run docker images on it and run things like Pi Hole, etc. Really nice to have.

[-] Gond0r@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago

I also run all of those things, plus the Plex server.

It’s like a magic little box you keep finding new tricks for.

I also upgraded its ram, use port trunking (both network connections) and put some cache SSD sticks in it. Not because I needed to, but because you can!

Neat! Do all of their devices work that way or just the more expensive ones?

[-] errer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I have a relatively “old” model, DS418. Docker is prolly the only thing it is marginal on, depending on what you’re running there exactly.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

And you can set up a folder where you just paste torrents and it takes care of downloading your favourite OS or other interesting file.

[-] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

you can even run docker images on it

Depending on the model ;)

[-] errer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You can still install “unsupported” on the ones that don’t support it officially: https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/Docker/20.10.3-1233

That being said it is indeed marginal on mine…CPU usage is often quite high.

[-] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

So you say this will run on my good old DS216j?

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

There is no cloud, only someone elses computer.

[-] auhu@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Wdym you don't want to pay billion dollar companies to keep your data hostage

I built my own cloud with blackjack and hookers

[-] kpaniz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Too dumb to set up nextcloud, first I bought a WD NAS which I kinda stopped using because of slow transfer speeds and a hacking attack that put the service down for days. Currently using three physical HD (two at home and one in my locker at work) all with the same copy of a Veracrypt container. Never been happier tbh.

Local storage is great for you.

It's absolutely fucking terrible for end users that you have to support.

[-] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

got me a 14 TB WD Easystore off eBay for $250 a few months ago.

[-] iesou@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

UnRaid is a great choice for this and will run on virtually any x86 hardware.
