Wabtec workers, day 23 on strike against a company that refuses to cover workers' basic needs (Photo credit: "UE Members 506" FB)
  • Take this in the friendly way it's offered: provide more information, the brief summary at that link is way too sparse for me to start slinging my own hard-earned money at. You've got a friendly audience here (I guess, on the whole), but nobody gives handouts unquestioningly. Publicising is great, but only if you provide proof and details. Good luck!

  • VPN for Torrenting
  • Yes, I downloaded something recommended because I was curious and genuinely could not make heads or tails of what I was looking at. I've got about 4 pis and 80tb of storage kicking around, for context. Just noped out after a couple days

  • Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits
  • The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that's what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it's like a shopping centre that's been free to enter saying "right, it's now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform."

    Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that's unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.

  • Farmer ordered to pay after judge says thumbs-up emoji amounts to contract acceptance
  • You've got a point, there's some danger here, but I would have zero sympathy if someone ignored the fact that sarcasm isn't communicated well in text.

    I don't know, I think a thumbs up is clear acceptance tbh.

  • Can I use Nextcloud to share a closed-off storage space with a family member?

    My brother and I would like to have some sort of storage space in each others' systems as an offsite backup thing. Ideally, I'd be able to allocate him 2GB of space that he can drop files in (e.g. a Veracrypt container, perhaps a keepass database, not media files). I don't want him to be able to access anything else on my network, like my own computers when they're switched on.

    Is Nextcloud a solution? I'd like a sort of Dropbox-equivalent solution where I can just open up a bit of space to him without it being access to anything else. Assume he's not a malicious actor, but also that I want my stuff to stay private.
