  • They turn a blind eye as long as no one files DMCA notice. They do limit downloads of some popular pirated materials behind login though.

  • I use sharedrop.io if the other device is connected to the same network. Just need a web browser, no need to install an app.

    Also works across the internet by inputting your unique id.

  • So the workaround is running the SFTP process as root?

    Why not run the SFTP server as a docker container as well (e.g. with https://hub.docker.com/r/atmoz/sftp/ )? You can mount the same volume in the SFTP container, and have it listen on some random port. Just make sure to configure the SFTP container to use the same uid:gid as the one used in the syncthing container to avoid file permission issues.

  • The easiest setup I tried so far is to simply put your docker container's volume on an external path, e.g. /mnt/hdd1/some-directory, instead of putting it in the standard docker location (/var/lib/docker/volume). You'll have full control over ACL on those custom paths.

  • There can't be that many phones with 6 inch screens these days. What did you get?

  • Why pay for more servers when you can tell your users to queue?

  • Now imagine being a wwii fighter pilot and charging straight ahead through enemy's AA in a plane built from wood and paper.

  • Some distro actually do not map www-data user to UID 33, so if you're on one of those distro, changing file owner to UID 33 won't help you. Pretty sure Ubuntu use UID 33 though, but I've seen people on other distros getting bitten by this. Also, some container systems can remap file ownership when mounting a volume.

  • My main concern of using a phone as a server is the battery. It'll get spicy after a year of constantly being plugged in, and the phone usually doesn't work without a battery attached.

  • One thing to watch for is file permissions. Just make sure it's all set to www-data and you're golden.

  • It could be worse. What would happen on people that live in UTC+12:00 ? When your friend say "lets meet on Tuesday", which Tuesday it is (because the day changes at noon)? People will resist such majorly inconvenience changes unless the benefit of switching is clear for them. Forcing unpopular changes will guarantee people using unofficial timezone which cause even more confusion down the line.

  • Shit you're right, I misremembered it.

  • Damn, I knew some people born in 1988 pick usernames that ends with 88. Does that mean they're incorrectly identified as Nazi?

  • It's not that simple as people has this urge to associate 12pm to noon and 12am to midnight. Just look at china where the whole country is under a single timezone despite spanning from UTC+05:00 to UTC+09:00. People on xinjiang ended up using their own unofficial timezone (UTC+06:00) for their daily activities instead of using china's official timezone (UTC+08:00) because it's inconvenient to them.
