But you can run multiple servers such that so long as any single
server is running you'll be working, can't you? I'd think that setting
up one or two in AWS and another one or two in Google Cloud would
provide pretty darn high reliablity 'out of the box' so long as you're
not making configuration changes to the servers.

I'm not up to doing that, but I'll ask the presenter if he'd be
willing to do it again at a TLUG meeting at some point. (And if we'd
be willing to get together and throw a few thousand yen donation
toward THS in exchange, that would probably make him more willing.)

What would be the advantage here over something like Dropbox or Google
Drive? And in particular, is there any reason a company using full-up
G Suite ($12/month/user with unlimited file storage as well as all the
other Google applications) would be interestedin keeping their files
off of Google, given that all their email etc. is stored by Google
anyway?

So what have you done in that area and what have you found out?
What are your concerns in terms of understanding the code?

How do hard links help with this?
