I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I’ve been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.

Not at work, I can’t.

Catapult?

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management. The only problem for me is mobile apps. I’m trying out OwlFiles on Android and iOS; the free version includes WebDAV support, which works well.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.

Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.

Scientists will never solve this one!

Haha it’s easy to overthink things sometimes. I’m guilty of that. I’m using SFTPGo at home to serve files from a small server.

Would this work? https://rclone.org/

Sings “it’s the end of Mozilla as we know it”.

I will definitely visit NL some day.

Food delivery (e.g. Uber) vehicles that park in disabled parking spots make me so angry. I’m always tempted to steal their license plates.

That sucks, I used to use them.

Microsoft just added AI to their terminal/command console thingy. 🤦‍♂️

Are they all legit?

Not in my local store. Define “available”?

I think it’s worth investigating. I took a look but I didn’t want to deal with the file chunking, and settled on something slow and simple in SFTPGO.

They do. I thought I’d mention it as some people don’t mind that aspect of it.
