What cloud does /g/ use?
Is there anything that's actually good?
And by "good" I mean:
>respects meh freedums
>works on any OS, even the obscure ones
>Affordable
>easy to use
So far, the only things I cam up with are either amazon (but lacks the easy to use part), or syncthing, but this is not really a cloud, but rather a sync tool, between my two machines. Which, kinda is also a benefit, but still, having an offsite backup would be great.

Well Meme'd
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>Linux
do you realize that you are the first person that actually mentioned the word "Linux" in this thread?
If you must meme, please meme correctly.

Still not correct.
I was only using the word linux.
and without any indication that I mean to use in the "Operating System" meaning, you might as well assume that I mean it in its "Kernel" sense.

Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed starting in 1991. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.

Host your own.
ownCloud is pretty good.
