I already saw copyparty but it appears to me to be a pretty large codebase for something so simple. I don't want to have to keep up with that because there's no way I'm reading and vetting all that code; it becomes a security problem.
It is still easier and infinitely more secure to grab a USB drive, a bicycle and just haul ass across town. Takes less time, too.
It becomes my problem when I'm the one who wants the files and no free service is going to accept an 80gb file.
It is exactly my point that I should not have to deal with third parties or something as massive and monolithic as Nextcloud just to do the internet equivalent of smoke signals. It is insane. It's like someone tells you they don't want to bike to the grocer 5 minutes away because it's currently raining and you recommend them a monster truck.
Obviously I can just dump it on my server and people can download it from a browser but how are they gonna send me anything? I'm not gonna put an upload on my site, that's a security nightmare waiting to happen. HTTP uploads have always been wonky, for me, anyway.
Valve are good in my book for no other reason than their investment in Linux and adjacent open projects like SteamVR, but yes. They made some of my favorites games, and also ruined them so now I can't play them. They arguably kickstarted the concept of lootboxes.
Valve has, for all their flaws, at least done something very valuable for me. Epic has done nil and in some cases worked to make my life worse.
Catbox has always been a problem for me. Sometimes it'll work for a day or two and then not work for another month. I emailed them and they said they're not doing any blocking on their side.
For one I don't use software that updates constantly. If I had to log in to a container more than once a year to fix something, I'd figure out something else. My NAS is just harddrives on a Debian machine.
Everything I use runs either Debian or is some form of BSD
If I host it inside the Tor network, or I2P, then I've practically cut out all points centralization out except my ISP. I live in a country where Tor isn't illegal, though, and they can't know what I'm doing inside Tor by design so they'd have to find another excuse. Anyway I don't own any American domains.
As a side point: I would ironically be far worse off if I owned a domain from my own countrys TLD because they are incredibly strict about them.
Neither of those 3 points have anything to do with what I said. This isn't a conversation about you having to tolerate me, it's a conversation about what state actors can do to censor Lemmy. Which is very little, because I can host an instance out of my bedroom and do basically whatever I want.
And not that I'm doubting your claim, but this is the first I hear of it; Do you have any sources for SL content being p2p? It would explain why it so regularly breaks.
