What Happened To Running What You Wanted On Your Own Machine? - Lemmy.zip

>When the microcomputer first landed in homes some forty years ago, it came with a simple freedom—you could run whatever software you could get your hands on. Floppy disk from a friend? Pop it in. Shareware demo downloaded from a BBS? Go ahead! Dodgy code you wrote yourself at 2 AM? Absolutely. The computer you bought was yours. It would run whatever you told it to run, and ask no questions. > >Today, that freedom is dying. What’s worse, is it’s happening so gradually that most people haven’t noticed we’re already halfway into the coffin.

Nothing. You can still run linux and docer stuff on your computer yourself.

What happened is that a pair of specific OSes became too invasive and locked.

I was trying to setup a completely open, fully unsecure samba share yesterday on either a windows 10 machine or a fedora kinoite machine…

It was too hard.

Why do I need fancy security getting in the way of everything?

Back in my dark days when I still had Windows systems, it was always Windows causing issues with shares. Always. Linux to Linux? Zero issues.

Sounds like you just want an easy file share server - might I suggest copyparty github.com/9001/copyparty

It was made just a few months ago, runs on everything, and can be set up with a single python command!

GitHub - 9001/copyparty: Portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads, dedup, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, TFTP, zeroconf, media indexer, thumbnails++ all in one file
