Meta also argued that the BitTorrent sharing was a necessity to get the valuable (but pirated) data.
Actually that’s not true, they could have done hit-and-run, not that it helps anything though.

23k people in 29 countries.
Per country, that’s not even as many people as in the small town where my parents lived in the middle of nowhere, and in total, that’s not even a fifth of the population of the city I now live in, which isn’t that big either.
With the same proportion, I’m sure one could say 30% of gen z is far-right.


The company also stresses that the data helped establish U.S. global leadership in AI.
Just like the data helps establish much needed universal access to education and entertainment.
But of course, the argument is only relevant when it goes in favor of the rich people.


Oh, indeed.
However, if you click switch the “hide links” dropdown to “show links”, there’s a bunch of forum links appearing, if you can create or already have an account on one of those then you could download there, or you could download elsewhere while making sure the hashes match.
I concur with @[email protected]’s testimony :
Collabora Office […] ended up using less server resources when idle than OnlyOffice
I actually don’t know about Collabora, but I do know that OnlyOffice uses a lot of server resources and is quite hard to set up, even when using Docker Compose.
So, currently, I’m using the desktop client with WebDAV instead.
However, you said :
CryptPad […] uses OnlyOffice client side
So, if CryptPad provides an alternative backend for OnlyOffice, then I’ll be curious to know whether it uses less resources than OnlyOffice’s official backend, and whether there are other alternative backends.
As for Collabora, I wouldn’t recommend it, nor NextCloud in general, to be honest.


There’s a link on fmhy.net
Funny, I wanted to do the same thing as well, but then I gave up and explained why on the Ghost blog I created afterward : https://blog.kaki87.net/intro/


I specifically asked whether the Markdown editor is WYSIWYG, like Typora, which isn’t the same thing as MS Word WYSIWYG.


Is the Markdown editor WYSIWYG, like Typora ?


Did they homemake everything ?
No NextCloud, no OnlyOffice ?


Do you really access your data most often from home than remotely ?


Except one benefit of the datacenter is redundancy : it going offline is way less likely than your home Internet (or anything else it depends on) going down.


If the internet or anything else goes down you lose all access.
That’s also the case when your home connection or electricity goes down and you’re not on site.
If that’s not a concern, then you don’t need to self-host, you just need a desktop app.


Alright, I guess I should have rather made a post like PSA: beware of Netcup, they shut you down on suspicion of doing stuff against their ToS whether it’s actually the case or not and without giving you a warning to respond.


At the very least, you could cut off Internet access and reduce vCores to 0.5, instead of completely shutting it down and only offering the user to book 4 hours of access during business hours as if they didn’t have work too.
That’s a nice unintended pun for a publisher named “404media” to talk about removed stuff being backed up
