There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.
Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (English translated):
“It is inevitable. The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”
@DocCarms@bookstodon “He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.”
The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemingway
“We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.”
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife”
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Gov. Ron DeSantis used to boast that Florida was where woke goes to die. Now he’s begging Disney to drop its lawsuit against him, and his poll numbers are in the toilet. Florida: Where presidential ambitions go to die.
Recommendations based on personal experience, please.
I have used a self-hosted Zend.to server for end to end encrypted async large file transfers with an easy to use web ui (sending files to others, and inviting others to send large files to me) for years now.
Aside from nextcloud, are there good options for doing this?
Requirements:
FOSS
not open-to-world
easy install/maintenance (no docker, pypi, yarn, etc.)
friendly to non-tech users in corporate environments
@neil I ran Seafile for a while. It ticks all the boxes you mention (assuming you consider docker compose counts as easy installation!), although it does a whole load of other stuff too and so might be a bit overkill for what you want.
