Personally if I had documents like that I'd put them in the one area I control that no one ever turns off -- that being my home directory on SDF's disk cluster -- and then I'd get it from there, maybe looking into sshfs if getting at them in emacs (via its tramp emacs lisp package, which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is something like gnome vfs) isn't adequate. Auto-syncing might be something I want at some point, for my music files and family photos/videos especially, but for the near future the storage sizes are so different on my three devices that I need to think a bit about what gets copied where, so something more manual or custom written makes more sense for me. Besides, I could use the practice at writing shell scripts and should learn more about udev, which is all probably more fun than whatever I'd need to learn to get going with nextcloud. Maybe I'd be more curious about it if nextcloud wrapped bittorrent in an easy way others would like, letting me use my friends' and relatives' computers to share, backup, and distribute pictures and videos of my son, done in a way where no central server (e.g. SDF) gets hit too much. Then again I'm not sure any of these people leave their computers on that long, except their phones and the storage on those isn't adequate yet, nor could I assume people would have the kind of data plan where they'd want to participate. On that topic, can you use non-web services like bittorrent, ssh and tor okay on t-mobile's network? Was wondering how general an ISP they are and if I'd be happy dropping RCN in favour of only using mobile hotspotting for home networking. My available network capacity is about 10 times what I seem to need, so I should buy less of it, to the degree there exist product options between too much and none at all. I had started to write something about Android devices in my first email, since I just got my first one a month or so ago, but thought I shouldn't take things on a tangent with my beginner questions (so feel free to skip this paragraph). Android seems to have some annoying issues. Anyone successfully run an alternative like Replicant or something Mer based? SailfishOS sounds kind of nice. Some of it may be solveable by rooting the phone but because of some software Samsung puts on this model, something called Knox, it sounds as if that's not such a good idea. According to threads online Samsung does some kind of remote attestation on the system software and will set a hardware flag, in a way that can't be unset, if you do certain things like root it or install another operating system. Oh, and btw. how did it come to be that phone operating systems are called firmwares or even ROMs? That strikes me as a massive piece of manipulative b.s. by someone or other, not to mention this term "sideloading." Can we thank Apple for this terminology? ... > On 06/19/2017 04:03 PM, Mike Small wrote: >> "Rich Braun" <richb at pioneer.ci.net> writes: >> ... >>> Even with all that, though, this looks like something I should've pursued back >>> in 2013 when I first heard the software title Owncloud.
