Say I have a lot of data (~500Gb). I don't want to carry a hard drive at all time with me. Wouldn't it be a good idea to encrypt it, then upload it on IPFS ? I would just have to carry an USB drive with the decryption key and the links to my files.
>an USB
do you pronounce it as uzzb or some shit?
500gb of what? I can't think of anything that I have that I'd need 500gb of all at once that is always on my person.
It would be a good idea if we were in 2018 but unfortunately IPFS isn't stable enough for that yet, especially on shitty networks.
Also what would be the point to use a program made for being efficient when files are distributed on many nodes if your files are only going to be on a couple of computers? Just serve them with HTTP or something in that case.

He might be a native speaker of some language where ‘U’ is pronounced differently from the English.
I'm Germany and I make this mistake from time to time, since to me “USB” is internalized with the German readings of the letters - and ‘U’ is pronounced more like “ooh” and not “you”.
So if I'm typing quickly or carelessly, I might end up typing “an USB drive” because I read it as “an [ooh ess bay] drive” in my head.

>>55696179 Set up a server with nfsv4+fscache+kerberos. Encrypt it with encfs if needed.
