   Expect it still might be way lower than 10TB. The unlimited thing, while it might technically be a lie, work on the premise that most users won't have even 1TB of data on the service which lets some outliers have 10s of Terabytes with

   You know the saying: "you are not wrong, you are just an asshole". I don't think OP is arguing that it's against ToS or anything like that. He is arguing that if people just upload stuff in these "unlimited" se

   Good luck suing not for profit volunteer group when you yourself are in financial trouble to begin with. I'm not saying it's impossible, but there's not much to gain.

   Someone might have poured all of their creativity to content on that platform and to loosely quote Jason Scott "this might be the largest audience this specific line of genes have/will ever reach". Is that not worth preservin

   I am sure whatever Archive Team downloads that is determined safe (enough) will end up on Internet Archive for everyone to enjoy. They have all kind of neat stuff there that you might not even think to preserve, like old super market announ

   Definitely not all. For example the top post of all time (where the guy has 1 Petabyte of videos in Amazon drive) he talks about how only his personal files are encrypted. Then again his videos are recordings of camsites so they might be qu

   While this is clearly abusing intent behind the "unlimited" sales pitch, I still do not think it's in violation of it. There's also most likely more than just this guy owning copy of the files from SoundCloud, so once Go

   It was founded by Jason Scott (of textfiles.com) who works for the Internet Archive (which is nonprofit). So while I think the Archive Team is fully community driven project what they backup ends up on Internet Archive.

    IIRC they said "selective backup" To me that means "stuff that's most likely fine to preserve and most likely isn't found on other places". Also according to Sound Cloud's ToS by using them you are grantin

    Maybe people are getting sick and tired of this constant bashing of "privileged" men (especially white men) and this is welcomed opinion. It's good that bad people are exposed, but when the opinion starts to shift more and mo

    I have the Windows client installed on my "gaming pc", but it doesn't seem to sync well enough. For example I can't find my password manager vault there at all.

    How about ~/Desktop? That's mirrored in iCloud for sure. Possibly also other paths, but that's sort of hidden knowledge. Usually when I use it I just drag files into the shortcut in Finder, but I guess that's a point for

    With prevalence of smart phones and security cameras I think that ship has sailed long time ago. Only argument you could make is "but now the cameras are out all the time and they can just record me!", but reality is that you are

    How does this relate to anything at all? No one is forcing you to buy or use one and if someone uses one out on the street, then by definition you have no privacy in a public setting. Just because it's stupid doesn't mean it'

    I might be in minority, but at least I do not follow any tournament schedules. If I want to watch live stream I just pop over at Twitch and see what's on.

    While it is true that with ruby you have to know more syntax, without previous knowledge of either language you caught on pretty fast. To me it is more expressive of my intent to say "0 to 5, for each, do something" than "for

    I've done RoR stuff and something about "doing-things-the-rails-way" bugs me to no end. After being paid to work on a RoR app I started to hate Ruby. Some time after I wrote something small and silly for my thesis (to visuali

    It would need to somehow be 100% anonymous in order to get around every last bit of censorship (because last point is self-censorship, when you see others with your views being ostracized by rest of user base)

    You do not NEED domain nor third party hosting service, you just need access to the Internet. Obviously you are still relying that your ISP doesn't cut you off or censor you. Then why does it need to even be a website? IRC has been a t
