Liking disco sticks don't make me gay

That would be an incredibly bad argument. Because it's not a motive, it's just descriptive. "we're at the top so we have the right" it's just a claim we make for ourself without considering how we got there.. and what if a smarter, more advanced alien race would come down to earth and conquer us? Would they agree that since they are top of the chain now they have "the right" to slaughter us? Obviously not. So then we would claim: "we're smart! Look, we know math. And love.. we also feel pain.". So these are important to us.

PHP is like having a million hand made tools and weapons that fall apart while riding to the castle

It was a fun run but sadly Reddit Admins have the only thing that matters now.. power. They will ban everyone in their way and replace them with some puppet or someone who doesn't care about the api fiasco. Most of them will cave in. They have no choice, because they don't hold any real power to attempt a coup. You know who should quit? Users. But they obviously don't care about the cause enough. Imagine if everyone quit for a month ..

There will always be new and smaller instances tho. Like it was true for smaller communities in reddit. It's all good and well until they get exceedingly popular and a shitshow.

Your data can't be stolen because it was never meant to be kept, besides your email and password

I confirm that in the terms and condition they discourage the use as a private cloud backup and only to host stuff related to the website. Now.. until now I've had no complaints as I've been paying and kept the traffic at minimum. I guess I'll have to switch to some more cloud oriented version if I keep expanding. But it's worked for now !

A simple script using duplicity to FTP data on my private website with infinite storage. I can't say if it's good or not. It's my first time doing it.

The video in the article is pretty hilarious but I doubt it works in real life. It was probably a demo controlled by a human. But still.. nice idea.

Sounds fun. But as others have said, plan a backup strategy like in the cloud or something.

If you don't explicitly set a DNS to allow access from outside the local network, all your stuff is private and confined within your local network. As it is with all, let's say, wifi stuff that goes on in your home.

Edit. What @notorious said

Theres no front page lol
