Syncthing is what Dropbox was before Dropbox became a cloud service. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, efficiently and using encryption. It uses open protocols and is open source.
A NAS is Network Attached Storage. It’s basically just a computer dedicated to providing you storage space. (Could be as simple as an old laptop with external USB drives hosting a Windows share to … much much more complicated, including dedicated specialized hardware or NAS-specific OS). Having your own NAS is important to building your own cloud alternatives, in my opinion.
Thank you for the information. I’m leaning toward buying my own external drive with as many terabytes as affordable, I think that qualifies as NAS? Then I would be extra careful to only store things on it that I really want to keep.
Are you familiar enough with such devices you might be able to recommend me some examples of external drives to purchase?
That would provide the storage. If you left it connected to a computer that was permanently on, and that computer was connected to a network, you’ve got a NAS. ☺️
There’s more to grow from there. You’ll want to consider backups before too long as a safeguard against data loss, (but if this is your first NAS, that can be a task for another day)
All those companies investing into virtual space still don’t realize that this wouldn’t work? Better put that money into cheaper amdnzero-waste energy transportation
I wouldn't think so, but I honestly don't know 🤷♂️. I know Mesh is based off AltSpaceVR tech, and that didn't have legs for the avatars either, so that may be why they're missing at launch.
