Wednesday, January 10. 2018Tresorit Solo now +1 TB for freeI noticed that Tresorit Solo suddenly ramped up total space from 1 TB to 2 TB without any notice or extra charges. I hope this change is permanent. Btw, since my (somewhat forced) migration from Wuala 2½ years ago I’m even more convinced of their service. Their clients for Windows, GNU/Linux & Android are very convenient and reliable. Recently they made a big revamp of their visual appearance and clients (even that for Linux). The only thing that’s a bit odd is that they make artificial restrictions to file and directory names. In earlier versions, these files were simply and silently(!) not uploaded if they ended with a blank or dot. I was surprised and slightly shocked that these files were simply not protected, without being aware of it. Luckily, with their recent client updates, there’s now a possibility to view a list of affected files. Boy, was I surprised that there were even more restrictions: They disallow characters that Windows does not support in file names, such as : ? " < > |
In addition, there are name collisions reported when file names only differ in capitalization, all of which are perfect features of Linux file systems that I got used to over the years. Another thing is hidden directories in Linux, which start with a dot. Some day they simply and silently didn’t get uploaded anymore. Luckily, I didn’t have to rename that many files and directories, but they were in the dozens, though. Other users could be off much worse. Finally, after renaming, those affected files got uploaded—they were in the hundreds, and I had thought they’d already been in the cloud since months. Apart from that, I can fully recommend their service, even more now that they cost me 0.09 €/GB per year. Sunday, January 7. 2018Bank für Gemeinwohl - Das Ende vorm AnfangKurz nach meiner Analyse bin ich ja tatsächlich Genossenschafter geworden (wenn auch zunächst nur mit minimalem finanziellen Aufwand). Nun lese ich im aktuellen Newsletter (Hervorhebungen von mir):
Danke, genügt. Sehen wir uns mal kurz ein paar Stichworte zur GLS Gemeinschaftsbank an. Wie hieß es doch gleich zu den Alternativbanken:
Und was lesen wir zu Anthroposophie bei Wikipedia:
Danke, genügt! Aber der Fairness halber schauen wir auch direkt zum Artikel zur GLS Gemeinschaftsbank:
Danke, genügt, aber sowas von! Je nach Ausgang der außerordentlichen Generalversammlung am 20. Jänner 2018 wird sich zeigen, ob ich aus der Genossenschaft austreten muss, weil ich meinen Namen nicht auf der Liste aktiver Mitglieder einer esoterisch orientierten Vereinigung sehen will. Das von mir eingebrachte Kapital soll von mir aus dann drin bleiben, ich betrachte es gemäß meiner Analyse als Spende, und von mir aus bleibt auch die Nachschusspflicht für mich weiterhin aufrecht. Hauptsache, sie gehen ihren Weg in dem Fall ohne mich weiter. Nichtsdestotrotz ist es schade, dass sich eine weltliche Alternative zu einem ethisch bewussten Finanzwesen in Österreich nur schwer etablieren kann. Aber wir sind nun mal nur so groß wie ein Bundesland von Deutschland, in diesem kleineren Gewässer lässt sich offenbar auch schwerer nach den nötigen Ressourcen angeln.
