It’s Sunday somewhere already so why wait?
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.
I’ll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn’t want to forget the post again.
Sending is someone else’s problem. They have all sorts of different understandings and tools and I can’t deal with them all. So the only alternative is to set them up with an account in (e.g.) Nexcloud or just accept whatever Google service they use to send you a large file.
Sending other people files is easy in Nextcloud, just create a shared link and unshare when done. Set a password on the file itself.
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.
OK 80 GB is for sure an edge case. Nextcloud won’t even work for that due to PHP memory limits, I think.
Interesting problem. FTP is an option, with careful instructions to an untutored user. Maybe rsync over a VPN connection if it is always the same sender.
Not even sure what else would reliably work, except Tannenbaum’s Adage.
