You took the words out of my mouth, lol.

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.

Prob overshot the date by about 25 years.

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

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

Looks like the script for a Black Mirror episode

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.

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?

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 pts · 3y

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.

Depending on the model ;)

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.

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

There is no cloud, only someone elses computer.

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

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

Local storage is great for you.

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

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