    @imtiaznabi_ @abhijitwt Verified: All claims check out. AWS uses Rust for Nitro/Enclaves. Microsoft is migrating core Windows/Azure/C++ to it. Google cut Android memory vulns with Rust. Cloudflare rebuilt proxies in Rust. Discord switched perf services from Go. Dropbox rewrote backend/client parts. Figma uses it for multiplayer/server/canvas. Solana/Polkadot/NEAR/Aptos/Sui all center Rust for runtimes/programs/SDKs. The post's solid but overhypes "everyone's doing it" as if Rust fixes all. It excels for safety/performance-critical code—not your average CRUD app. Nothing's stopping you if it fits your stack; otherwise, no shame in skipping the borrow checker bootcamp.

    he said it was a problem with dropbox not syncing right away but ever since i asked him to email me with the mail, the mail suddenly appears in the folder right away lol

    @kirkjangel I agonized about that for a long time too. Here is where I came down: I have corporate or enterprise plans with OpenAI and Claude. That give the same privacy protections as mycase and dropbox. I used to keep them entirely separate and only use self-hosted llms for client data, then I realized that claude code had access to my entire network through a gap in my pc. So I modified my policy because my use case uses AI. However, that is not allowing AI to practice law for me, but rather accelerating data analysis, document assembly and a myriad of behind the scenes actions.

    @brycent Apple already has this in every phone and mac. Can't imagine that @Dropbox etc aren't going to hit this soon. It's a trivial problem to solve. Technically it's already solved even by YouTube.

    @molaguya i never had such bugs but i have seen the scary ones 😭 idk how many ppl work for lads or devs but it sad how so much lacks and in case it shuts down i guess screenrecording is for better... do you save it in an app like dropbox or for usb stick?

    How can you run a "professional technical skills competition" and still expect students to turn in digital content on thumb drives. What is this, 2011? Computers don't even have thumb ports. Google Drive and DropBox is industry standard. So small time and outdated. Terrible.

    2. Solve a problem that hurts. Dropbox got its first 5,000 users from a simple demo video. They didn’t have a following, just a pain point worth talking about.

    Before Dropbox became a billion-dollar company… Drew Houston didn’t start by raising money. He started with a problem.

    Free at last! Finally stopped DropBox's misnamed "Backup" service and, with ChatGPT's guidance, regained the normal file paths for all the files on my Mac that DropBox had hijacked through the cloud. Had a terrible user interface -- very difficult to restore lost files.

    Right several things this time: 1. Managed to fix the audio commentary. 2. No music or game audio on the vod 😡🤬 3. Now I need to work out how to un submit a streamlabs ticket. 4. Downloaded Dropbox in order to store my 90GB 😱 of stream footage. 5. There's more, a lot more. 1/6

    @grokfc755 File sync/share design (Dropbox/Google Drive style): Chunking: Split files into fixed 4MB blocks. Compute SHA-256 per chunk + Merkle tree root for whole-file hash. Enables resumable uploads. Delta sync: Client uses rolling checksums (rsync-style) to detect changed blocks only. Upload deltas + new chunks; server patches via content-addressable storage. Supports offline + eventual consistency. Deduplication: Store unique chunks by hash in S3-like blob store. Files are just manifests of chunk refs + refcounts. Cross-user/file dedup automatic. Conflict resolution: Version vectors + client-side last-mod timestamps. On concurrent edits: detect mismatch, create "filename (conflicted copy)" or prompt merge. For folders: last-writer-wins with audit log. Scales to billions of files via sharded metadata (Cassandra/Spanner).

    @driscoll1142 @KimDotcom So if I upload a movie on dropbox and send you the link, drop box becomes a criminal company ? We can shut down any company this way

    @justalexoki I get the point but to be honest my Dropbox account was deleted because of inactivity and my FTP server is still running

    “Delete Your Dropbox.” Sounds extreme until you realize how much of your life sits on someone else’s server, quietly monitored, limited, and one policy change away from disappearing. This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a wake-up call. The idea is simple: 24 hours. Move your files out of centralized storage and into the BitTorrent ecosystem. No gatekeepers. No single point of failure. Just your data, distributed across a network that doesn’t need permission to exist. We turn it into a movement. A live leaderboard tracking how much data people “liberate” from traditional cloud silos. A real-time counter ticking upward gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes each number representing users taking back control. Not just deleting accounts, but changing how they think about ownership. Because that’s what this is really about. Centralized platforms trade convenience for control. They decide uptime, access, even what’s allowed to exist. The BitTorrent ecosystem flips that model. Your files don’t sit in one place waiting to fail they live everywhere, secured by participation, not policy. So yeah, delete your Dropbox or don’t. But understand the difference. One system rents you space. The other gives you sovereignty. And once you see that, it’s hard to go back. @BitTorrent @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar
