    @dhh @renefaurskov Do you have a contact at dropbox that could fix the install on linux to point the dropbox to a folder other than default. Having to pause it and link to another folder after install is mentally unhealthy.

    @TaiyoDevil I printed out fics before I had an e-reader called Dropbox. I was there when Tumblr fell. I had to scrape fan sites and the half-good alternatives to get my fix! AO3 is the best thing to happen to fandom. And you can put pictures on them!

    SMOKE campaign abuses fake Zoom and Adobe lures to silently deploy ScreenConnect RMM, giving attackers persistent remote access that blends with legitimate IT traffic across Windows and macOS. - Initial access rotates across VBScript droppers, batch loaders, and a polished fake Zoom HTML page that auto-downloads an MSI after a 2-second JavaScript timer, no user click needed. Payloads were hosted on a WsgiDAV staging server at 207.174.0[.]143:8080 with open directory listing exposing 15 files. Early samples used Dropbox links and a Cloudflare Quick Tunnel at subscription-magnetic-recommended-meat.trycloudflare[.]com to bypass domain reputation filters. - The final payload is a legitimate ConnectWise-signed ScreenConnect MSI with a valid DigiCert certificate. Agents beacon with URL parameters e=Access&y=Guest to attacker relay servers, including port 8041 on that same IP, making traffic appear as authorized IT remote access. - The attacker pivoted mid-campaign from a 9-step Defender destruction sequence (disabling AMSI, killing WinDefend, adding C:\ as an exclusion, stripping Zone.Identifier) to a stealth loader containing a hardcoded 180-second sleep with a source comment explicitly stating it breaks Elastic EDR correlation windows. Direct evidence of testing against commercial security products. #DFIR_Radar

    @PhyxicxGaming Thanks. And unfortunately it's even worse than that because it's technically "shared housing;" the place was already a ******** when I got here. No pests, fortunately, and I'm pretty sure the landlord has no idea what goes on here, and doesn't care. I've only ever met the maintenance man, who handles move-ins, plus he picks up rent from the dropbox every week. I haven't seen him since the day I moved in, and he even told me as much that I'll never meet the owner. The psycho has his room on the 3rd floor, I'm one of two on the 2nd floor, and there's one person below me. The bathroom is shared, as is the kitchen, which I never use. Only one burner on the stove works anyway. On my first day, I texted about the broken toilet seat, and the Landlord asked me what happened. WTF? Third-Floor Psycho is the only other person who's walking around raging regularly. Everyone else recognizes the general "peace" of the environment. Unfortunately I have to be here at least a few more months, while I'm still paying off old bills, and re-establishing myself in a new city. It's a slow journey, but a steady one. I just happen to hit a ****** rest stop here and there.

    Tips to new @OmarchyLinux users from a new Omarchy user 1. If you are coming from a Mac and have installed Omarchy on a Windows machine: Your keyboard most likely has start button and then the Alt button. Swap these so Super key becomes command where the left thumb usually rests. I asked Claude Code to do this for me. 2. If your mouse has a scrollwheel: Super + mousewheel scroll up and down switches desktop spaces. This is besides the usual Super + <number> and Super + Tab / Super + Shift + Tab to switch spaces. In addition to these, I have AI set up Ctrl + Alt + arrow. 3. Missing Alfred/Raycast? Install omacast. 4. If your laptop is connected to an external monitor with bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you find that the computer is not waking up (after you walk away for a while) when you press any key or move the mouse, ask AI to fix this for you. 5. The default font size of text in Claude Code is 12px which is small for my aging eyes. Ask AI to change it to 16px. 6. Todoist does not have a native app for Linux and so if you miss its Quick Add feature, ask AI to set this up. It added the functionality and assigned Super + Q to it. Later, I came to know there's a community plugin for it. But I am happy with what Claude did. 7. If you use Dropbox, chances are, the total available space in your account is not accurate because it is hardcoded in Omarchy at this time. Ask AI to fix this for you. 8. If/when the fan in your computer is spinning fast and is noisy, ask AI to find out the reason and fix. In my case, it turned out to be Performance profile in the Lenovo laptop. Claude changed it to Balanced and now it's all fine. 9. Get familiar with keyboard shortcuts.

    @shahzamannn_ Your SaaS idea doesn’t need to be complicated. Stripe moves money. Postman sends API requests. Notion organizes information. Dropbox syncs files. The lesson? Simple problem + huge market + great execution = massive company. Stop asking, “Is my idea too simple?” Start asking, “How many people have this problem?”

    Want Your Startup to Get VC Funded? You Must Meet All Six of These Requirements Venture capitalists at the seed stage bet on potential more than perfection, yet they demand specific proof points before writing a check. After reviewing hundreds of deals and data from PitchBook, Crunchbase, and leading funds, six absolute requirements stand out. Miss any and the odds of funding drop sharply. First, an exceptional founding team. Team quality remains the single highest weighted factor before product market fit solidifies. VCs look for domain expertise, prior execution, complementary skills, and coachability. Research shows roughly one in four two founder teams loses a co founder by year four, so investors scrutinize resilience and equity alignment. Companies with strong teams raise at higher valuations even with lighter metrics because execution can fix product or market gaps. Second, a large and expanding market. Seed investors require a total addressable market of at least one billion dollars, ideally several billion, with a clear path to one hundred million in annual revenue. Serviceable addressable market should support venture scale outcomes. Markets growing above twenty percent annually command premiums. Small markets cap upside and rarely produce the fund returning exits VCs need. Third, early traction proving customers care. For SaaS this often means ten thousand to one hundred thousand in monthly recurring revenue or three hundred thousand plus in annual recurring revenue. Pre revenue startups need strong engagement such as daily active users to monthly active users ratios above twenty percent, organic waitlists, or letters of intent from unaffiliated customers. Dropbox famously used a demo video that drove seventy five thousand sign ups overnight, unlocking its Sequoia seed. Slack showed early retention that later became legendary. Fourth, rapid and consistent growth. Seed VCs seek fifteen to twenty percent or higher month over month revenue or user growth sustained over multiple months. Absolute numbers matter less than trajectory. Startups posting twenty percent plus monthly recurring revenue growth have seen close rates near sixty five percent in analyzed pitch data. Flat or decelerating growth signals risk. Fifth, early unit economics and retention signals. Even at seed, investors examine lifetime value to customer acquisition cost ratios above two to one, ideally three to one, net revenue retention near or above one hundred percent, and cohort retention that flattens rather than collapses. Gross retention above eighty to ninety percent is a positive signal. These metrics prove the product delivers lasting value and that growth will not require endless capital. Sixth, capital efficiency and clear runway. Burn multiple and months of runway matter. Investors prefer teams that can stretch capital to eighteen months or more while showing improving efficiency. Median U.S. seed rounds now sit near three to four million dollars, yet graduation to Series A has tightened to roughly twenty to fifty percent depending on cohort and sector. Lean teams of four to eight people that still deliver results stand out. Data confirms the stakes. Only a minority of seed companies reach Series A, and failure rates near forty percent are common. Yet the power law rewards those that clear these bars. Airbnb, Stripe, and early Slack all combined strong teams, massive markets, and measurable early traction. Founders who quantify these six elements with real numbers, not projections, dramatically improve their chances of securing seed capital.

    Company for AI age: - Information should flow flat - Can’t wait to have all information to make decisions - Speed and excelente in execution is crucial - You should get as much info as possible during the constraint of time given by yourself - How do we prepare a company to be totally eligible for AI? Not only text info but images - Service of the future is not about giving agents to corps to solve problems but offering the solution/service driven by AI. - Even if all information is on the web, multiple file structures, owners, formats and file storage systems (dropbox, drive, box) add friction to information and decision making

    @TetraspaceWest At Fitbit we hired a half dozen people from Jawbone who brought everything cleverly hidden in Dropbox. They got prosecuted. Decade later, companies kaput but Fable found it, processed it and now it’s intermixed in various *** repos and Huggingface. Is nVidia now in trouble?

    @marcorandazza @DietCoke_Esq The claim is that the “CSAM” of Miller’s daughter was released the first time he published the Dropbox folder. Considering that Miller disabled that folder and lied about an outage on Dropbox shortly after publishing it, I think it’s entirely plausible that he may have inadvertently released a **** photo of her ******** as claimed. Who knows…probably her being cute in the bathtub. It honestly seems perfectly plausible.

    A $50 box saves $240 a year on subscriptions and earns $18,000 a year setting it up for clients. No new hardware. Nothing bought at retail. A used office tower. A second-hand drive. One stick of RAM pulled from a dead laptop. The whole build came to 50 dollars. It looks like nothing. Fans humming, one cable to the wall, sitting on a desk next to a coffee cup. The first win is the one nobody talks about. Cloud storage, photo backups, the $20 a month AI plan everyone pays and forgets — all of it moves onto one box you paid for once. 240 dollars a year, gone. The second win is where the money is. Once it runs on your desk, it runs on anyone's. And clients don't pay for parts. They pay to stop bleeding subscriptions. Here's what you actually sell: A private AI trained on their own files, so staff stop pasting company data into a browser. That's $1,500 a setup. A self-hosted file server that kills their Dropbox and Google Workspace bill. $600, plus the relief of never renting storage again. A local automation box that runs invoices, replies, and reports overnight. $900, and it never sends a dollar to a cloud. Then the quiet one: $150 a month to keep it patched and alive. 10 clients on retainer is $1,500 every month before you build a single new one. One setup a week at $1,500 is $18,000 a year. Off hardware other people throw in the bin. I had no degree, no server room, no $2,000 build. Just dead parts and one free weekend. The expensive part of AI was never the compute. It was the monthly bill you agreed to and stopped reading. 50 dollars in. $18,000 out. Same box.

    $DBX - Dropbox added 96,000 paying users this quarter. I said this morning to watch that line after last quarter's roughly 14,000 sequential adds. They did seven times that, a third consecutive quarter of growth, to 18.19M. The stock is down 4%. Everything I said to watch on the growth side came in fine. Revenue $631.5M, above both the $624-627M guide and the $627M street. Non-GAAP EPS $0.75 against $0.74. Non-GAAP operating margin 39.7%, above the full-year range. ARPU $139.68, up from $138.32. What went the wrong way is the part I said would actually move it. Free cash flow fell to $235.2M from $258.5M a year ago, and the margin went from 41.3% to 37.2%. And the buyback decelerated: $330M this quarter against $410M in the same quarter last year, with first-half repurchases down 19%. Unlevered free cash flow rose to $283.5M, and the gap between the two numbers is interest. Cash paid for interest went to $48.3M from $17.9M. The buyback is debt-funded and the debt now costs something. Diluted share count is down 18% year over year to 226.8M, which is the one thing still working mechanically. Two things about the release itself. Guidance isn't in it — Dropbox moved the numbers to supplemental materials on its investor site this quarter, which breaks with how it has reported. And the entire release is quoted by a co-CEO who writes "stepping into this role." The 8-K contains no disclosure of a leadership change. Twenty-nine percent of the float is short. $DBX

    i met a founder doing $10,000,000+/year at my airbnb gym in dubai at 6am he was the only other person there. we started talking. i asked him what was driving most of his revenue. he didn't say ads. he didn't say cold email. he didn't say a sales team. he pulled out his phone and showed me a dashboard. 28 million views in the last 30 days. accounts he owns. content he already had. no ad spend. no creators. no audience deals. he said something i haven't stopped thinking about since. "most founders are renting attention. i own mine." here's what he meant, and why it's the most important distinction in business right now. when you run ads, you are paying rent on someone else's audience. the moment you stop paying, the leads stop arriving. you don't own anything. you built nothing. you rented a billboard for six months and when the lease expired you were back to zero, except now you're $200,000 lighter and your CAC is a number your board pretends not to notice. when you distribute content on accounts you own, something different happens. the views compound. the audience compounds. the trust compounds. a clip you posted three months ago is still driving profile visits today. a piece of content from last year is still closing deals this quarter. the platform doesn't have an expiration date on good content, and the attention you build doesn't evaporate when you stop writing checks. this founder had 52 accounts across every platform. all owned. all run by a dedicated team posting daily clips from content he already had sitting in a folder doing nothing. youtube recordings. podcast episodes. webinar footage. he wasn't creating anything new. he was just finally distributing what he'd already created, at scale, into every market he wanted to win. the math is what broke my brain. $0 in ad spend. 28 million views in 30 days. if you modelled that as paid traffic at even a $2 CPM, you're looking at $56,000 worth of reach. every month. compounding. from content that existed before we ever had that conversation in a gym in dubai at 6am. i've seen this exact system work for iman gadzhi. 300 million views. 180,000 instagram followers and 280,000 tiktok followers built from zero, on accounts he owns and keeps. i've seen it work for luke belmar. 200 million views and $19M in capital club subscriptions driven through distribution alone, not through ads, not through a sales team, through clips running on owned accounts into the exact audience that needed to see them. i built russell brunson's clipping infrastructure inside clickfunnels. $100,000 in sales from a system that runs without him touching it. the pattern is always the same. founder has content. founder has no real distribution. founder is either buying reach they don't own or posting to their own audience and wondering why growth is flat. we build a dedicated team around their brand, warm up accounts to the exact audience they want to reach, geo-target any market they want to win, post daily, test what's working, double down, and watch the views compound across a system they own completely. the content you already have is the most underused asset in your business. most founders spend years creating it. podcast episodes nobody heard. youtube videos that peaked at 4,000 views. webinar recordings sitting in a dropbox folder. all of it has a shelf life of forever if someone actually distributes it properly, and almost nobody does. the guy in the dubai gym wasn't smarter than you. he wasn't working harder. he wasn't spending more. he just figured out earlier that distribution is the actual product, and everything else is just content waiting to be seen by the people who need it. if you want to see the full strategy we use to build this kind of system... the accounts, the setup, the playbook - comment "distribution" below

    they solved this problem in panda by splitting the key space into “ranges.” each range is roughly 100 GB, so when a range grows too large, it can be split and redistributed. (btw panda is an abstraction layer over sharded mysql that dropbox built)

    @kunchenguid no one will disagree with that sentiment. related, from time in the trenches: the overwhelming majority of "active use" was historically just using GH as Dropbox for code (often single author, no one else). Memory a bit fuzzy but think about all of the things you can do on GitHub: 1. Core ***: Create, Clone, Fork, Commit, Etc 2. Collab: Issues, PRs 3. CI/CD: Actions, Checks, Webhooks, etc 4. Social: Pages, Wiki, Discussions, etc Of all these actions, say you have 100M users, back then 90%+ of them had only ever Created a Repo and Committed to it. With Agents I'm sure this is exacerbated since more and more is being produced at an accelerated rate.

    The Redeemed Artist (@Peace_Grenade81) reported

    I know I'm just screaming into the void. And there's probably less than like one or 2% of users that actually use this function. But I'm going to do it anyway. For the longest time the X app beta was absolute garbage on Android. It had serious stability problems, I couldn't use voice to text properly, and I couldn't access my memes from Dropbox, my cloud provider. The most recent change fixed all of the other problems except for my Dropbox integration. At first, I blamed X for this but I have since come to learn that the real culprit is Google. If you go into your app section and look for cloud providers they give you all sorts of choices so long as you like the choice that is Google's. Theoretically, other providers should be in here like Box or Dropbox. But Google has been playing footsie making rules about cloud provider integration and not actually approving anyone else. Google has become Microsoft. Google will tell you what cloud provider to use and it will conveniently be their own. Google will continue to upgrade their operating system closing off any other provider options or applications they simply disagree with for any reason at all. Meanwhile what this means for me is that I can't insert any memes or videos because they are all stored on Dropbox. Yeah, yeah, yeah I could go into Dropbox and then click on a photo and then share it to X and then make a post out of it. But what I can't do is respond to a post and insert a picture or a video directly through the X app. Don't know when this gets fixed, if ever. But I think it's time for Google to be investigated for monopolistic practices. I realize that this doesn't affect many people, but if you think they aren't coming for your various conveniences, I'm pretty certain that that's going to be proven wrong. Since I can't post a meme but only a local photo, here's an unrelated picture of a quilt we bought at auction. 🙄
