Paul Krugman is one of my heros but he is wrong about #crypto being strings of ones and zeros on servers that do nothing. The left is wrong about this too. Ok, chill, you are all correct about Bitcoin, it is crap. But #eth and #xrp, not nothing. They do things, they are programmable. #tez is a great, fast low carbon crypto, and #storj, #fet and #glm are all infrastructure compute cryptos. They are good for something, you can create S3 buckets with #storj! Go ahead and hate, and be left behind.

Trying out https://photosplus.app.

It is a bring-your-own-cloud #Mac, #iOS and #Android app for photo & video #backup. The apps are a little rough around the edges. For example, the menus and interactions are a bit weird.

But it does what it says on the tin. Keeping it around to see if this can help break dependency on Big Tech while also saving on storage costs.

I have tried both #Backblaze B2 and #Storj as storage backends on the app. So far Storj is much faster.

🔥 BTTC vs. EL RESTO - LA BATALLA POR EL ALMACENAMIENTO DESCENTRALIZADO

BitTorrent-New (BTTC), como token que busca impulsar un ecosistema descentralizado de intercambio de archivos y almacenamiento, se enfrenta a una competencia diversa en el espacio cripto.

Podemos clasificar a sus competidores en varias categorías:

* Soluciones de almacenamiento descentralizado:

Este es el principal frente competitivo.

Aquí encontramos proyectos como Filecoin (FIL), Sia (SC), Arweave (AR) y Storj (STORJ).

Estos proyectos ofrecen soluciones de almacenamiento en la nube descentralizadas, donde los usuarios pueden alquilar espacio de almacenamiento no utilizado en sus dispositivos.

Si bien BTTC se centra más en el intercambio de archivos P2P, existe una superposición en la funcionalidad de almacenamiento.

La diferenciación de BTTC radica en su integración con el protocolo BitTorrent, que tiene una gran base de usuarios.

* Plataformas de intercambio de archivos descentralizadas:

Aunque menos comunes, existen proyectos que se centran específicamente en el intercambio descentralizado de archivos.

Estos podrían considerarse competidores más directos, aunque a menudo tienen un alcance más limitado que BitTorrent.

* Cadenas de bloques con enfoque en DeFi y aplicaciones descentralizadas (dApps):

Si bien no son competidores directos en el intercambio de archivos, plataformas como Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) y Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ofrecen la infraestructura para construir dApps que podrían ofrecer funcionalidades similares a BTTC.

La competencia aquí se centra en atraer desarrolladores y usuarios a sus ecosistemas.

* Servicios de almacenamiento en la nube centralizados:
Gigantes como Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud y Amazon S3 siguen siendo los principales competidores en el mercado del almacenamiento en la nube.

So you buy a #meme coin from "Hawk Tuah Girl" and you are surprised when you lose your savings. I post this mostly to point out, there are *good* cryptos like #fetchai , #storj and #tezos that are not scams. Common sense is needed! #crypto #cryptocurrency

Yeah, it looks like the Supreme Court has made Pump and Dumps and #Ponzi Schemes fairly much legal. Get all of your money out of capital markets and - I hesitate - #Crypto. (I still support infrastructure cryptos like #FetchAI, #Golem and #Storj, which are really more like commodities that always have some intrinsic value... But if it is #defi stay the hell away.)

Using #Storj and local #Nextcloud (one per machine) is actually quite easy:

!/usr/bin/env bash
# Taken from https://fedoramagazine.org/nextcloud-20-on-fedora-linux-with-podman/.

podman network create nextcloud-net
podman volume create nextcloud-app
podman volume create nextcloud-data
podman volume create nextcloud-db

# MariaDB
podman run --detach \
           --env MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud \
           --env MYSQL_USER=nextcloud \
           --env MYSQL_PASSWORD=DB_USER_PASSWORD \
           --env MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=DB_ROOT_PASSWORD \
           --volume nextcloud-db:/var/lib/mysql \
           --network nextcloud-net \
           --restart on-failure \
           --name nextcloud-db \
           docker.io/library/mariadb:10

# Nextcloud
podman run --detach \
           --env MYSQL_HOST=nextcloud-db.dns.podman \
           --env MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud \
           --env MYSQL_USER=nextcloud \
           --env MYSQL_PASSWORD=DB_USER_PASSWORD \
           --env NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER=NC_ADMIN \
           --env NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD=NC_PASSWORD \
           --volume nextcloud-app:/var/www/html \
           --volume nextcloud-data:/var/www/html/data \
           --network nextcloud-net \
           --restart on-failure \
           --name nextcloud \
           --publish 8080:80 \
           docker.io/library/nextcloud:20

So no need to use Oracle cloud for this. And instances do not really need to necessarily to sync up given the user count.

Since I switched from #Dropbox to #Storj, I’ve been almost solely using rclone.

Now I’ve started to feel that t it would be nice to have also an ownCloud instance and point out its storage to my #S3 bucket at Storj.

After looking through cloud options, I think got with ARM Ampere A1 VM: that #Oracle offers:

“Up to 4 instances of ARM Ampere A1 Compute with 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month”

Should scale a to my personal ownCloud with storage backend at Storj. The amount of OCPU hours nailed this really…

I'm still against #bitcoin. But some things to think about here in terms of the green promise of #crypto more generally. I'm a compute person, I strongly support infrastructure cryptos like #storj, #fetchai, #golem and the like that do real work instead of guessing numbers for a reward. #greentechnology for example flaming off excess mathane would be better used doing real work or changing Bitcoin to proof of stake or mining #eth or #tez instead of bitcoin.

I started to have #Storj, #e2ee distributed cloud object storage, host my static website which has been served via #GitHub Pages. It feels like response is as quick and speedy as it has been, and so far I'm satisfied. I'll leave it for a while to see if it works as expected.

Ah yes, nothing makes me trust a storage provider more than quietly removing the free plan and holding the (previously uploaded) data hostage.
#storj #storj.io
I should have trusted my bad gut feeling when I found out storj was powered by a #crypto #blockchain.

Now I have to pay to download my data so I can set up a way to self-host my images for my website.

Je mehr ich über dieses #StorJ lese, desto mehr bewundere ich diese Technologie. Eine wahnsinnig spannende Technologie die da gebaut wurde.

Einfach beeindruckend.

Vor allem dieser dezentrale Faktor und die erreichbaren Geschwindigkeiten sind Irre.

Got a good video of #SpaceX launch from #Phoenix last night

Also first time trying #storj, neat idea.

Blow it out your #Storj

💔 I'm really sad to say that I'm considering shutting down NixOrigin.one, my 1.5-year-old Pixelfed instance. I've been unable to resolve some issues for over a month, and I recently missed a storage bill, causing photo uploads and local photo viewing to stop working. Avatars aren't displaying either. I feel terrible that people have reached out to me on email and Twitter, and one person even deleted their account after I said it might take a few more days. The root of the problem is my empty wallet, and I'm determined to set up my own earning methods, but it will take time. I have some business ideas in mind. 💔
