Seems like a good idea in theory, but I know that my ISP sends you a threatening letter in the post if you have too much incoming traffic - and it's unbelievably slow anyway. I wish this project a whole lot of luck though, because I really wish for a future of the internet where you don't rely on products that bombard you with adverts.
- jcook818 13y agoThe project plans to expand to other architectures (including VPSes) with a successful funding campaign, meaning that you don't have to host at home to get the same easy experience. So maybe that would be an option for you. Thanks for your support!! :D
- aroch 13y agoHere's the thing, I would only give arkOS a good look if it were available for other architectures/devices (mainly AWS or other VPS). While I have a few rPi's around for hacking I refuse to host something like email, owncloud or calendar on a device that's relying on a residential connection. Most email blacklists include IP ranges for large ISPs and I simply don't have the requisite upstream at home to host something like owncloud effectively. That said, I'm happy to donate towards the project because it is cool
- maaarghk 13y agoI use bittorrent sync on a (really cheap) OVH dedicated server to much success and if I could replace it with something pretty like your product then I almost certainly would.
- jcook818 13y agoThat is the prime use case for arkOS :) With everyone's support easy and secure self-hosted file sync will be possible for arkOS.
