  1. Re:Huge price hike by bmo · · Score: 1 · on Google Drive Goes Live

    We have these things called computers. They can break up files into handy chunks and do this automatically.

    Indeed, have you ever heard of GmailFS?

  2. You can have 10 GB google storage here instantly by yooy · · Score: 1 · on Google Drive Launching Next Week With 5GB Free Space

    http://sr71.net/projects/gmailfs/ Should also be possible to just mount it via cryptoloop for encryption.

  3. Email by kikito · · Score: 2 · on Open Source Alternative To Dropbox?

    Host an email account on your own server IMAP access, and store files by sending them to yourself. Depending on your client, you can arrange the emails in files/folders/tags.

    If you are comfortable with using gmail (probably no, but hey, information is free) you can use GMailfs and mount a http://sr71.net/projects/gmailfs/ . I haven't used it myself, I don't know if it's any good.

    I couldn't find a working "general mailfs" system, which kindof surprises me.

  4. Re:Encryption? by Jonner · · Score: 1 · on Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project

    There are a number of ways to encrypt files before uploading them anywhere, including Dropbox. However, I'd rather use a service with a standard interface, unobfuscated interface, such as IMAP or HTTP, which allows more flexibility.

    For example, one can use GMail Filesystem over FUSE with eCryptfs to mount a file system that stores everything encrypted in a Gmail (and probably any IMAP) account.

    Alternatively, one can use duplicity to make and restore encrypted backups using a wide variety of protocols, including IMAP, scp/ssh, ftp, rsync, HSI, WebDAV, Tahoe-LAFS, and Amazon S3.

  5. Re:can you... by xororand · · Score: 2, Informative · on Google Introduces Command-Line Tool For Linux

    I'm not sure but there's GMailfs, a FUSE filesystem that uses GMail's IMAP interface.

  6. Re:USB by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers?

    You can fix this by modifying the charger or cable (grounding a pin through a resistor). Someone said that even though it says "unauthorized" it will still charge, but I've never tested that myself. I can't find the link I had before, but this give the general idea.

  11. A Large TV?!?! by hansendc · · Score: 4 · on Matching Battery Backup "Waveshape" to the Right Equipment?

    Let me get this right: When you have a power outage, you want to make sure that you can watch your really big TV, and use your "large speaker amp"? On my UPS, (yes that is a boat battery which it uses) I only have my 2 important systems and one 13 inch monitor. That way, it can last longer. I don't need my big MP3 machine or my 19 in. monitor running when the power goes out, I only need to be able to safely shut the important machines down if I have to. You put the bare minimum of stuff on a UPS.

    For your purposes, I recommend an old mainstay of power backups: a nuclear reactor. That way, you only have to refuel it every 20 years or so, AND you don't need a connection to the lousy power grid!
