Yes, I downloaded something recommended because I was curious and genuinely could not make heads or tails of what I was looking at. I've got about 4 pis and 80tb of storage kicking around, for context. Just noped out after a couple days

Cool, always good to see new options, I hadn't come across this one before.

Cheers, that's reassuring

That's helpful, he wouldn't have admin access, mostly because I know enough to know that what I don't know is dangerous.

Thanks to you both, I think I read at some point that nextcloud might be a bit overpowered and resource heavy (for me). I'll look into syncthing.

Can I use Nextcloud to share a closed-off storage space with a family member? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

My brother and I would like to have some sort of storage space in each others' systems as an offsite backup thing. Ideally, I'd be able to allocate him 2GB of space that he can drop files in (e.g. a Veracrypt container, perhaps a keepass database, not media files). I don't want him to be able to access anything else on my network, like my own computers when they're switched on.

Is Nextcloud a solution? I'd like a sort of Dropbox-equivalent solution where I can just open up a bit of space to him without it being access to anything else. Assume he's not a malicious actor, but also that I want my stuff to stay private.

What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Excellent explanation, thanks.

Could you DM me the Homepage link? I'm not finding it among generic results. Yes, I'm a wee bit dim.

Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

From a place of ignorance: why is x265 better for 3d and not AV1?

People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] tom@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have to say I've never seen people let their water sit or boil it, and I've been all over the place since 2010 in Spain. I know for hard (not heavy :)) water you can install (expensive) systems between the incoming water and your taps that can soften it, but I don't know how common they are. I would drink the tap water from any town in Spain without a second thought. Wouldn't you? A finca in the countryside, I might be sceptical, or a service station in the middle of nowhere, maybe not, but any "built-up" area, for sure.
