  • I didn’t pirate for years when Netflix was the bomb. Then it all started going to poop but I kept the subscription running while I sailed the seven seas with the thought that it was just a little bit of a reduced library, it’s still good. It’s just a heap of shows cancelled after one season and even more content missing, it’s still good. But after a few years I had to accept that like a pig soaring over a dam, it was gone. So now no one gets my money.

    Except my ISP, private indexers, a VPN company, and various hard drive manufacturers I guess.


  • I’ve run Nextcloud since OwnCloud was the only option, with zero issues on any setup - be it direct, via snap, or via docker.

    (EDIT: Out of interest I looked up the first subdomain I can remember using - it sent my username the login details in February 2015 so that’s over a decade now!).

    On a cheap VPS, a dedicated box, and now self hosted since I finally have a decent enough connection to support it. Ran out of storage on the VPS, then the 4TB dedicated box, now on 120TB self hosted (Nextcloud only using around 6TB mind you). CPU and RAM were never an issue.

    Mostly documents (PDF, ODS, ODT), photos and videos from jobs, and some people (myself included) use the storage to back up their phone gallery.

    I use shared and private folders, shared and private calendars, and shared and private contact lists on Android, iOS, and PCs (Windows and Linux). I have a public upload directory for customers to send us files and often share files directly using expiring read only links.

    It’s easy and it works, no idea wtf people are doing to have so much drama with it.
