Speaking of jumping ship, I store all my files in #Microsoft #OneDrive and would like to get rid of that dependency as I'm working to replace my workflow with #FLOSS tools where practical. Do y'all have recommendations for a #CloudStorage service which has reasonably #accessible clients for #ScreenReader users (I primarily use #Fedora Workstation 43 but also use #Windows 11, #Android, and #iOS), can sync to my local filesystem, and/or can appear in the #GNOME desktop File Manager? I'm not interested in self-hosting something like #Nextcloud, #OwnCloud, etc. Any suggestions or firsthand experiences would be greatly appreciated.

📸 Hello, Photographers. What do you all use for RAW file storage online? I know Smugmug has an option to add RAW management support. Any non-Adobe alternatives you like? I have a NAS at home, but I would like a second storage option, of course. #photography #lazyweb #FileStorage

I went with Koofr, in case anyone's looking to do the same. Generally a good experience, with helpful support. Slightly odd approach, and no file history, just un-delete, but I'm mostly using it as a destination file store for Kopia backups, so it's not a deal breaker for me.
What is Block Storage?
The term Block storage describes a technology that controls how data is stored on storage devices. The name is derived from the fact that block storage splits any kind of information, such as files or raw disk content, into chunks (or blocks) of equal size. Block storage is the most versatile type of storage, as it is the underlying structure of other storage options, such as file or object storage. It is also the most well-known type of storage since most typical storage media (HDD, SSD, […]
Hey fediverse — I have some exciting news to share.
Over the past few years, I’ve been running a private cloud platform called BaezCloud, originally just for my own clients — fast, secure, privacy-respecting infrastructure tailored to real-world creative workflows.
What started as a personal solution grew into something bigger than I expected. And today, I’m proud to announce that it’s become its own fully independent company:
Nuvon is officially live.
Nuvon is a privacy-first, EU-hosted cloud infrastructure provider built from scratch with simplicity, transparency, and control at its core. We’re fully self-funded, running our own servers (no third-party “cloud”), and committed to serving individuals and small teams — not just enterprise whales.
At launch, we’re offering:
• Nuvon Drive – encrypted file sync & team cloud drive
• Nuvon SafeBackup – automated, secure server + endpoint backup
• Nuvon Photos – private photo hosting
Under the hood, we operate a serious Synology infrastructure, hosted in datacenters in the Czech Republic, currently with dual 25Gbps uplinks and loads of available bandwidth and capacity.
No throttling. No transfer limits. Just raw speed and control — the way it should be.
Because of our Synology ecosystem, we also offer seamless integration for anyone already using Synology NAS. We can extend your internal setup to remote collaborators and freelancers without sacrificing security or performance — or clogging your own pipe.
And for editors and creatives:
If you’re using Postlab, our cloud storage is already fully supported and certified. So whether you’re syncing a team project or backing up your production files, you can trust it’ll just work.
If any of this sounds useful, I’d love to chat.
You can DM me or book a quick intro call here:

Thanks to everyone who supported BaezCloud along the way.
Nuvon is just getting started — and we’re building it for people like you.

Top 5 Open Source Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Tools for Enterprises
📅 Updated for 2025 | Read Time: 6 min Enterprises today generate and manage petabytes of data, with storage demands growing exponentially. Traditional hardware-based storage solutions lack flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency, making Software-Defined Storage (SDS) the go-to solution for modern IT infrastructures. As of 2024, the global SDS market is projected to reach $46 billion by 2027, fueled by:✅ The rapid adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud architectures✅ The need for […]

Google, Apple and Microsoft have cloud storage solutions. So does Evernote, Kdrive and other products. The issue with all of these solutions is that they are owned by corporations. They are simple and convenient to use but at the cost of being locked in to an OS in some cases, and to corporate interests.
NextCloud is an open source alternative with hosting solutions that offer people with the choice of choosing between hosting solutions that are as local, or as remote as they want. I could choose between a German and a Dutch hosting solution. I chose [tab.cloud](https://tab.digital/) simply because they offer 8gb rather than 2gb like another solution. You can upgrade to 128 gigabytes, or to a maximum of over 500 gigabytes in the paying tiers.
You can install Nextcloud locally too. I installed it on a raspberry pi but I haven’t configured it to make it usable yet but I also installed it on a windows machine via Docker. That was quick and easy to do. I was thinking of playing with NextCloud on Linode but will do some local experimentation first. It seems intuitive and simple to use after several minutes of experimentation. That’s how quick and easy it is to get up and running.
The price for Google One is 100 CHF per year for two terabytes, and 120 CHF per year for iCloud with the same amount of storage. The price for theGoodCloud is 240 for one terabyte of data shared with five people. With Linode/Akamai the estimated cost could be 206.88 Dollars per year. The cheapest solution is Kdrive at about 60 CHF per year for two terabytes.
And Finally
Buying two terabytes of storage to keep at home costs from 63 CHF upwards. You could easily setup NextCloud on a Raspberry Pi and plug an external drive to that computer and keep it on 24/7. When you get home you could back up all the photos from that day. You would save on storage costs. One of my biggest frustrations with online storage solutions is that if you want to retrieve your data you need to spend several days downloading the data.
With a solution like NextCloud and the mobile phone app you could setup a local machine to backup all your photos. You would have the tertiary backup online but keep the pictures on your phone, the primary backup in your own home and the tertiary backup online.
I will setup a NextCloud system locally.

Any computerphiles know why this might be happening? I have a source texture that I am resizing with Windows Photos as a lazy way to make the texture smaller.
Source image is 512x512. 8.00KB on disk. Actual size is 6.48KB.
It is rescaled to 128x128. 4.00KB on disk. Actual size is 0.86KB.
It is rescaled again to 64x64. Back up to 8.00KB on disk. Actual size is 0.5KB.
I thought it might have something to do with 512 goto 128 goto 64, but when converting from 512 directly to 64, I get the same thing. (The new file is actually 2B smaller too.)
What do you call the device you plug into your USB port to store data onto? (Not talking about an external hard drive or SSD)
If you use multiple, pick the one that you yourself prefer.
If you prefer multiple ones, pick the one that you have used the earliest. (grew up with)

Webnative File System is a versioned content-addressable distributed file system with private and public sub-systems. It offers concurrent writes and offline access.
The protocol is open source, and we have worked with the community to build a Rust implementation.
Special thanks to the Banyan team, who worked on large files, and the Functionland team, who worked on mobile. Functionland also made a React native version! #distributedsystems #filestorage

Hey guys, today's #Blog post is gonna be a little bit special. Lately I've been working on PENEfiles, a digital file cabinet solution, where you can store your files online and manage them using a tagging system. You can also create notes using markdown and cross-reference everything within the system. It's like ownCloud or Seafile, but faster. Please check out the full pitch if you are interested!
