Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster? (lemmy.tomateaux.com)

I’m thinking of using Storj because I’d like a trustless solution. Are there any other good alternatives in the decentralized or Web3 space?

personal backups over torrent? and who would download that?

They're saying that torrents are a form of decentralized cloud storage, not that torrents would be a viable means of decentralizing your own personal backups.

Pretty much this. Unless those personal back ups happen to also be media people want or osmething

Isn’t that basically SyncThing? I thought it was BitTorrent under the hood.

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Similar but no, Syncthing does not use bittorrent or the bittorrent protocol.

Though if you're curious Resilo Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) is similar to Syncthing and does use bittorrent.

Could you seed other peoples syncthings
