(Quote) Let me start by quoting my rant from October 2025: :) (Quote) My current on the MDDHosting's service, as I'm currently actively using the service: https://io.bikegremlin.com/30329/mddhosting-plaid-hosting-review/ Veerotech notes - also us…

(Quote) Similar doubts. Strong FOMO vibes - 100% yes. However, they are not pushing discounts to make more sales (and more total revenue), so they might be at least trying to keep the service profitable (not just take money and deadpool). Still, t…

(Quote) So if I understood correctly, there is no native S3 support, but a functioning workaround so to speak (because of the encryption - you must emulate an S3 gateway on your PC - which in turn "talks" to Filen, while your apps "ta…

Experienced virgins? No such thing. * Performance * Low cost * Quality You can only pick two. If you think you can pick all three, you are being screwed. So, if you can live with less fast support, or not the top performance (or some other downs…

(Quote) They also don't chagre extra for egress, while Hetzner Object storage which may be cheaper "on paper" will charge extra for that, and may end up being more expensive in total. Backblaze can be rather slow in my experience, so that…

Haven't listed them - that's true. I know a guy who's happy with it for years now (in terms of upload & download speed, & uptime). Could be the optimal choice. Depends on what you need the storage for.

(Quote) LOL. The free version using Rustdesk's infrastructure (no self-hosting install) is what I'm using and it seems to be working fine - for now (I expect it to follow Anydesk and Teamviewer once it becomes more popular).
-
(Quote) I have installed it on Windows 11, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. Tried all the possible permutations to connect: Win-Win, Win-Mint, Win-Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Win... and so on - you get the idea. Also tried different networks (ISPs) - local and separated.…

Another bug that will bother the privacy-concerned folks: full ticket contents (along with replies) are visible to anyone who has the URL (no password protection, only URL obscurity). From what I could gather, Filen is aware of the problem, and tha…

(Quote) Very confusing (colour me dumb) - it says "Self hosting" all over the page, and no clear link to the "cloud" alternative (pricing also doesn't look much better compared to Anydesk): https://rustdesk.com/pricing/?lang=en …
-
So, RustDesk seems to be the general recommendation. I suppose I would need a VPS for it (won't run in a shared hosting account), correct? Do the non-tech-savvy clients (whose PCs I need to connect to) get an install to run ("next-next-yes-ye…

Discord bug report apparently came unnoticed since Saturday (despite the mention by a member there), while a public Reddit post from this morning got a response after a few hours: https://www.reddit.com/r/filen_io/comments/1oosbs5/why_are_filenio_i…

Not terminal, but "terminal green" is what I was aiming for - to make the bold text in my Obisidian editor & viewer stand out better: (Image)

(Quote) I've been using the service since April (2025). Within the first few days they had a long downtime (several hours if not more). Apart from that, I haven't noticed any problems - but I have noticed that their incident reports got redacted (s…

(Quote) So, they do redact their status pages? https://status.filen.io/
-
(Quote) As far as I could see, they were saying they will reduce and probably completely cut lifetime sales. Then, this summer, they posted about that this Black Friday may be the last lifetime sale, but that "starter" lifetime will probab…

(Quote) Laughing in Notepad++ :)

(Quote) There still are. For around $1200 one-time payment. Edit: that is $1300 (the '99 pricing trick got me! ) That is ten more years of annual updates if prices double (and 20 according to current pricing).
-
I use whatever ships by the factory in Mint, Ubuntu, and Windows (cmd and Powershell). Also, on Windows, I sometimes use PuTTY (because the "factory" terminal sometimes refuses to work in SSH). Internet is full of screenshots, but if you …

(Quote) Don't worry, it's just a hobby, not an occupation (pun intended)!

(Quote) The Owned had always had subscription, but it was $39 until this increase. I think you'll need the subscription in order to get the new version to install, if you decide to.
-
(Quote) I wrote in greath length about that state of mind (and running business) on my blog. https://blog.bikegremlin.com/1122/zeitgeist/ I see it everywhere when I scratch the surface, it is how practically everything is run nowadays, it only dif…

(Quote) Awww. Thanks - appreciate it. <3 Fair to note that even though "extra storage" from that link is maxed out, but if I understand correctly, the link should also have granted you an extra 10 GB of storage (please correct me if …
-
(Quote) Yup - put that right at the start of the article - and notified Filen.io as a bug report, in case it is an honest mistake. Red flag IMO.

Updating this, while I'm sobering up from last night. Finally did some proper testing instead of just theorising over beers. In detail notes and test results: https://io.bikegremlin.com/38871/filen-io-testing-and-notes/ TL/DR: * Works fine for bi…

(Quote) Macrium Reflect is GUI for whole system images. Subscription only now, unfotunately. Acronis too - subscription only too. FileZilla if he wants to only copy files to a storage (Hetzner Storage Box is not expensive).
-
Thanks. So, I'd have to self-host it - and they list some prices for self hosting (that is confusing). Sounds crazy. Fuck it. I'll go with a bicycle. It's good for health and for the environment. And yeah - Teamviewer did what Anydesk has started …
