Seafile is the only good enough thing i've found so far for self-hosted file sync. But it is still a pain to upgrade the server version. nextCloud and friends is a complete disaster in my oppinion.

Plenty of people throughout the world use Telegram. Their platform handles large groups quite well.

Russians is a bit narrow, but it is mostly the popular choice in eastern Europe. But when it comes to these messengers it differs based on location. There is KakaoChat in Korea, WeChat in China, Whatsapp in central Europe and South America, iMessage in the US, etc.

Can you please provide a source, I am curious about this. I've exhausted my googling capabilities here...

Why do you think it's embarassing? The result is what reasonable people judge. And if you get to it through trial and error, well, that's how it's done almost everytime. It's normal
> Why do you think it's embarassing? I don't? I said I remove it because it isn't useful to anyone, might even be adding more confusion than it solves, not because I'm embarrassed over anything.
If it really isn't useful, which I imagine means you committed somewhat haphazardly, ok, of course.
If there might be some usefulness hidden there (for example, trying something and then reverting it shows that you did explore it), it's also possible to place the old stuff in another repository or another branch (better the latter, unless it increases the repository's size too much)

#125USB sticks, the alternative to the cloud.
I thought the same once, but apparently some of my friends literally do not own a PC. Only tablets or phones, no USB-A in the house except maybe in TV. Oh well, time for USB-C pendrives.

Resilio is also pretty good, depending on your use case. (Syncthing is great too, but Resilio seems faster and better at NAT traversal in my experience.)

#128Give syncthing a go.

#129As others have asked, how does it compare with nextCloud ownCloud? And does it have native clients for the usual suspects? Windows/Mac/Mobile...
I tried to install nextcloud once, and it was an exercise in misery.
I couldn't get past installing required PHP extensions, as my hosting provider doesn't allow for that.
Overall it's no WordPress instance that works everywhere.

#130If you want to increase adoption, change the name: https://www.paulgraham.com/name.html TDrive would work
It can go wrong too.
You search that in Google with file sharing keywords and the AI will helpfully correct it to 'do you mean GDrive?'
They would've lost a prospective user to a competitor while sounding like a knockoff of some other product.
