No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm going to do a shameful plug here, but I have made a sharing protocol & implementation that can be used to store data safely and also to safely share this data.
It's called Tenfingers
It's working but it is still in its infancy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please do say what you think about it!
Lets keep the morale!
Nice to know. I'm starting to think targeted groups will either use stuff like this or IPFS, or have to resort to Tor/I2P
Feel free to propagate the good word :-)
I'm up if someone/some group wants to know more about it, please do tell. For example it can replace IPFS and IMO it's way easier to setup and use.
I poked around and couldn't find a repo link. Can you point me to that?
Sure! Here it is:

Thanks!
This looks really interesting, so if I have a folder on a computer and I have it setup to share, then any time something gets added to that folder then is it automatically updated for anyone with the link?
Also, where should people go to help, or find out how to help?
Thanks!
You have to manually update your folder (but that can obviously be automated) otherwise yes that's it!
For more i formation, you can just follow the link in my post. I have also set up a community tenfingers@lemmy.mindoki.com but it is very empty at the moment.
Or just look for me, Valmond, and pop a question :-)
To help? I confess I'm a disaster for PR so I'm just doing my best, but if you'd set up a node that would really be helpful to iron out problems, and with feedback make the setup&usage simpler etc. For example, small files are shared "for free" (configurable) but if your folder is big (for example), then you need nodes in the network to want to share big things too.
You can obviously just put the links to bigger already shared data in the folder to make things smoother.
So trying it out and giving feedback would be fantastic!
Cheers
Valmond
