There’s plenty of official stores on Ali and a rule of thumb is to stay away from “no name” products and products that are obvious copies of other brands.

You are not a regular user. My parents are regular users and they have been using Linux for years. They don’t know though. That’s a regular user.

It’s the redundancy. So a file exists at 4.2 hosts on average. The minimum is 3, which is something you set yourself.

I have been using it for about 6 months now. no issues.

I currently only use 163.92 GB @ 4.2x of storage though and renting out about 2TB of storage.

It is actually fairly easy to setup. Both hosting and renting.

Then you shouldn’t play Half-Life 😅

You should start with Half- Life. It’s a classic FPS.

I use Sia as a renter (paying for storage) and I am also a host (selling storage space) on the Sia network.

Currently use it to host videos from peertube.wtf. It’s not perfect yet, but it works.

Half-Life 😁

That doesn’t sound like a scam, at all!

Still waiting for Proton Drive, so that I may spend my money on Proton.

Sure, why not... 🥸

I use Sia for this. It is essentially what you describe, but with a monetary system.

I rent out some of my storage, and use the Siacoin earned to buy storage for backups.
