This is a definition problem I think. I don’t use the word “responsible” to mean sole ownership. For example. We are all responsible for the cleanliness of our roads. It is a shared responsibility that we all participate in.

And, I think, we are all responsible for modeling good behaviors for people to emulate.

Of course it does. You’re only ever responsible for yourself.

And that mentality does not lead to good things.

Oh yes. Pushing personal responsibility to the end user has always been a very effective security strategy.

I’ll bite.

The risk is training people in bad behaviors, and then having those people do stupid things like type in a password.

The sync is weird though. I can’t say “upload this image” I have to say “keep this whole folder in sync”.

I’m switching for air quality near my house and safety. Cost isn’t the driver for me.

We’ll fork

Your complaining that the free stuff isn’t as good as the paid?

Natively, you can’t. Hackishly, you could put a small VPN capable router in front of it that would manage the connection.

That’s according to Dr Internet, so I haven’t tried it, but it seems very likely to be accurate.

Why would there be an answer?

If #3 is your use case, then yeah, pony up the fees. Or learn to code I guess.

Idrive has built in local encryption you can enable.

I think that a good chunk of the selfhosted community is “sole IT guy at a tiny company”. This is great for that, since having to update desktop software in twenty places sucks.

You can do it that way, but I don’t see how that’s more secure. Fewer server bits to maintain I guess?

Huh?

Ugh. Yes.

The fact that they have shortening rules already shows it’s too complicated.

They would’ve been better off with a shorter length, and ditching hex for a base 32 string.

Well, yes, for users. But I’m in tech. And it’s the tech people that need to implement it. And when I’m trying to hunt down why something about DNS or a firewall rule isn’t working, I really don’t want to be juggling gigantic alphanumeric strings.

I’m convinced it hasn’t taken off because they’re too complicated for the human brain to easily reference. Four triplets is simple enough.

U think you’re just pointing out that trademark law doesn’t work the way a reasonable person would assume. I agree, it’s crazy. But if they won, then it was relevant to their trademark (somehow), and failure to bring relevant cases can lead to losing it.

So yes, it’s weird and sketchy and feels morally wrong. But also yes, it’s required and expected legally.
