Sup chummers.
So,I need somewhere to store some of my files (about 100GB), and I do not want to pay for any cloud storage services .(I'm almost living below the poverty line, so nothing that involves brouzouf will help me.)
Does anyone know if I can create my own cloud storage?
Also, alternative storage means General.

buy a 1tb hdd for (~50 USD) , put in a computer. Run FTP/SSH/HTTP or some other service, use DDNS + Portforwarding. Done.
If you care about security use a seperate computer for your service.
If you really care about security use a seperate computer + DMZ (with a second router) for your service. Opitionally add any of HIDS, fail2ban, port knocking, httpaccess , white list clients, or force VPN connection to auth.
Solutions like freenas, owncloud are supposed to make this easy if you can't use a computer.
If your extra retarded pay for google drive, dropbox, spideroak , or S3.

Exposing your computer to network is not that hard, but you still need to get the storage space from somewhere.
"Cloud" just means someone else's computer

In practice configuring FTP or SSH is easier than getting the whole LAMP stack to work. Seriously, fuck owncloud

I think with <100GB you can actually use botnet services free of charge, if you don't mind the consequences.

Yes, you can have your own cloud storage. What you need is a dedicated server (any PC connected to the internet) and a service that can redirect your IP into a static link so you can access it without having to pay a lot for an actual static IP address.
If you want low power consumption you can use a raspberry PI

the best way to store shit "on the cloud" is to set up a NAS to store shit
otherwise its simply not secure, it will cost you but it won't cost you monthly

What is cyberpunk about your stupid ass needing free tech support? If you actually live below the poverty line, you sure as hell don't need 100GB of anime porn and pirated movies, just delete the shit.
You don't need free cloud storage, you need to either live within your means or an external hard drive.

No one said that you can't encrypt data you push to dropbox, but that doesn't fix 90% of the objections I raised. Also , presumably OP wants a place to store data as a single source of truth rather than replicate, which means data loss and abritary account suspension is a real concern.

>what is file durability?
You're an idiot if you think this is comparable to a cloud storage solution. You have no data redundancy at all…

People like you are the reason imageboards are dying. Your retarded faggotry is toxic. That was a helpful post, that detailed how to put files on the internet which is what op asked. It wasn't a primer how to backup. Your is such a red herring, you latch to something not asked not included, and shit post a single unconstructive line where you imagine I am an idiot and you are an expert. Thanks for your contribution and GTFO.
The ultimate irony is that redundancy and durability are not the same thing. And it sounds me like your making the recommendation that people store everything on google/dropbox/amazons computers for avaialbility which is cuturally an anathama to people here, for good reason. Please just stop posting.

By posting, wouldn't they by definition be doing the opposite?

So you want imageboards to die? Make up your mind.

That's not very cyberpunk to say. One key definition of cyberpunk is high tech low life. How can you achieve high tech as a low life? That's what OP is asking. Dick.

lookup pogoplug. by cloud I assume you mean accessible outside your lan and not scalable. pogoplug, raspberrypi-like, or wrt can make your usb storage a NAS-like device.

Fuck cloud storage. Get a dedicated keyring with some USB sticks and have them auto sync files by category.
Cloud storage can't be done in a remotely secure way.

>Cloud storage can't be done in a remotely secure way.
Unsubstantiated non-sense based upon a misunderstanding of secure. People seem to think that "security" is exclusively confidentiality, and then turn that into a schway fantasy. You cannot have a meaningful conversation about security without discussing a threat model and assets.
Asking is cloud storage "secure" is non-sense. Asking is cloud storage a "secure" option for assets that I must protect confidentiality on, given that my threat model includes the government as an actor, is a much more meaningful question. There is a risk , government gains access to cloud storage by i) Technical Measures ; ii) Social / Political Measures and security posture can be ajusted depending on your tolerance and analysis.
For example, If my threat model includes the US Gov, but not the Russian Government, I could avoid a possibly mitigate risk by choosing an NON-US cloud storage provider like yandex. I could choose to accept the risk that the US may use technical measures to gain access to yandex, or etc. Alternatively, I could employ techincal security measures through policy like "All data stored in Yandex Account must be encrypted with … ".
For someone who is not a larping hacker with an actual threat model cloud storage might be more secure than USB local storage.

Storing online gives away control over your data.
Yeah, they can have a policy, but ultimately, whatever cloud service you put your trust in has the drive your data is stored on.
Of course, a threat model is necessary in case you want to take certain risks to buy advantages. And no, I'm not a larping hacker. I know of the advantages of cloud storage and while designing threat models is not in my field, reading and understanding them definitely is.
If your data is highly confidential (or you're paranoid enough to think so), having absolute control over the storage device is a big plus, but can get expensive if you want data to be safe as well. Cloud services are much cheaper than having your own location.
There you go. Suppose I did sound like a poser, sorry for the confusion.

I think most posts missed the point. A small number of cyberpunks may able to live off-to-grid independently in the digital world, but for most others is to smartly utilize the technology from the big corporations for their own advantage, or even against them. In Sci-Fi works, most cowboys steal the electricity from the Nuclear Plant, browse the corporation's commercial network to search intelligence, and rooting and modifying a commodity computer to gain back the control, rather than running their own generator, meshing their own network or designing their own computer. And ofc, sometimes they do. Utilization/exploitation and construction are just two means to achieve the goal of freedom, and either one can be used when it's the best choice.
It means for ordinary storage, big cloud + your own encryption is more than enough. Even if the NSA designed a quantum computer, it's still as easy as generating a 256-bit key locally and writing it down on a piece of paper. It guarantees the confidentially of your data. This is the beauty of utilization, small work for you, big work for them.

When dealing with censorship, etc, the first paragraph applies.
