I think, to torturously extend the metaphor, that we shouldn't be putting eggs in any baskets - we should keep our own hens.
Of course, you're still at risk that your hosting provider could die, or your ISP could break etc.
- sliverstorm 14y agoNot happening, for reasons similar to why we no longer keep our own hens. Besides, putting aside questions of hassle, the majority of folks would be unable to keep hens half as good as what is currently provided to them.
- TheCowboy 14y agoI don't think I'd recommend rsync as a replacement for Dropbox, as rsync isn't as elegant and doesn't replicate the functionality of Dropbox. (I use and like both tools.) You might consider also recommending Unison as a Dropbox alternative rather than rsync. Unison is probably better at multiway synchronization.
- edent 14y agoInteresting. I thought Unison wasn't actively supported any more? It does look like the better choice - although lacking in Android / iOS implementations from what I see.
- TheCowboy 14y agoI think it's supported, as there were updates for it last year, but just not actively developed. The developers are working on another project called Boomerang that's supposed to replace it(maybe?), but which hasn't seen an update in years last I checked.
