For folks looking for a much simpler single binary alternative. https://github.com/srv1n/kurpod
This is not a replacement, as it has no native file system integration, only a web interface.

My kids grew up on Gnome essentially, I can tell you Win11 is a lot more confusing to them, not just because because they grew up on Gnome, there is just so much more ... stuff. And notifications and flashy things and news and weather apps and they all want your attention. Gnome is much more iPadOS like (minus that horrible concoction called the App Store). Sure, if you're all in on MS365 (like all schools here in th…
And someone once raised their kids speaking Klingon, that isn't a good excuse on why it's a language others should use. For the vast majority of people MS365 is a requirement, but really the issue is that even minor fixes require the command line on Linux and that makes it unusable.
No it isn't actually, not for the majority, my wife (former Sales Person and Manager) uses Google office tools and used LibreOffice Write and Calc for years successfully.

Wait, what?! I was sure that the agenda of Big Tinfoil was to generate FUD so that we buy more tinfoil for our hats. Are you implying their agenda goes even deeper?
Have you tried to buy tin foil lately? Big Aluminum has taken over, and just see how far you get soldering the grounding strap to an aluminum foil hat.

and yet... still unusable by the mass majority of people.
Linux is stuck because it's made and maintained by people who love linux. Look at popular unix based OS's - Android, MacOS, iOS.. Whats the first thing they do? Take the command line out back and shoot it. Whereas for linux users, their is this l33t h4cker festishization of only using a keyboard to do everything. All these distros have an extremely robust CLI under the hood, and an afterthought quasi GUI on the surfa…
My wife has used Linux for many years successfully and has never used the CLI once.
Jesus, sourceforge is still on the go?
I understand that most people want to move to other more modern tools, it's up to you. However, what baffled me is why the author's choice not to move is a problem? Did we pay them to move and they did not move as promised? Was there some crowd funding to move that was not fulfilled?
It was never as good as freshmeat.net even in its heyday.

sourceforge was always very scummy, I think they would definitely use the code for that if they could
It wasn’t always scummy… but there was a definite shift after they got bought. It’s kept getting worse since then. Then again, this was something like 20 years ago. Back then, Sourceforge was something closer to GitHub today. It was the de facto public source repository. You could even get an on-premise version, IIRC. Actually, this is sounding a lot like GitHub these days… not sure what that means.

Its not just a web interface. It creates a storage container that can grow and be compacted on the fly is fully portable.

We need a law that a human representative can be spoken to within 24 hours or directly when something critical happens. Also “there is no appeal possible” should be plain illegal.
I understand the sentiment, but.. do you realize how much more expensive that would make all these services? I don’t know the number. But personally I think using the services and ‘simply’ only use them if the disappearance isn’t catastrophic and have the price be low or free while it works isn’t too bad a trade-off. Admittedly that’s a big ‘if.’
