    1. @tiffany I'm not sure why anyone would use Google drive, when they could just use OwnCloud or Syncthing. Probably the alternatives just aren't publicised enough.

      1. @bob @tiffany And likewise for Microsoft's equivalent and Dropbox and all the 50,000 # clones of the above. Self-host if possible, and #, encrypt, encrypt.

          1. @mrmattimation @lnxw48 I don't think consumerism is bad in all cases, and some level of consuming of goods and services is necessary. The bad forms of consumerism are where people are encouraged to waste resources purely for the purposes of capital accumulation.

          2. @mrmattimation @lnxw48 also it looks like http://rainbowdash.net is blocked by CloudFlare. I strongly advise people running sites not to use CloudFlare, or if you do then to change the settings not to block Tor users.

      2. To really benefit from owncloud, you need to run your own server, and that seems to put off many people...
