G+_Louis Tim Larsen Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just saw this weeks episode about owncloud. Normally I'm pretty satisfied with your show, but I think you could have done some more research for this episode. Is owncloud really that slow and "boring"? I see no reason to make an episode about some software that you don't like/not find useful. I suggest that you try it out on an another host or two :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mikey D Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Seemed rushed as a result. Testing always calls for impartial and varied testing. Would it have been too much to contact a few people and ask them to test or sign up for another hosting co. just for a month? I thought it was a decent episode, just seemed incomplete.

G+_Ryan Skeldon Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I can vouch for how slow OwnCloud is on consumer hardware, but it's not that big of an issue considering the features it provides if you're looking for a way of creating a private cloud storage. ?

G+_iyaz akhtar Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Louis Tim Larsen - we did the episode because a number of people requested we try out Owncloud. I personally did not find it to be the amazing thing people were claiming it to be. I do plan on revisiting Owncloud in the future - maybe it'll be more polished by then.

G+_Mikey D Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 iyaz akhtar is there a way to do owncloud without a web hosted server? I suppose you could run it on purchased VM space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
