Knopflertk Appeal
« on: November 06, 2024, 09:03:38 PM »
Some of you may not even be aware of it, but Knopflertk is a fantastic FREE resource run by Alberto that makes EVERY non copyright DS and MK recording available to anyone.

Here is a message from Alberto:

Hello fellows. I know it's not the best time to start a fundraising campaign to continue the Knopflertk project, but the funds raised in the previous campaign, more than a year and a half ago, run out this month.

Personally, I have made the decision to stop paying for Unlimited's Google Drive, as its cost has multiplied by 3 in the last 2 years, and I no longer consider it essential, or at least, that its price is no longer competitive.

Project Unlimited isn't over, we're still searching for new jewels that haven't seen the light yet, but honestly, I think everything we've shared is accessible via Youtube. I will continue to maintain the collection, and perhaps in the future, I will reconsider its need again. Something new coming out, can be shared via temporary links.

If I ask you a small effort to maintain domination and Knopflertk, which is about 200€ per year.
You can do so by Paypal at donaciones@knopflertk.org

Thank you all, and use until the end of the month to download from the drive!


If you can afford to donate a small amount, please do!

And if you haven’t yet accessed it, go see what you are missing!

Is there any way of moving to a cheaper server? I think most of us "hardcore" fans would be ready to help with the costs!

If there are any suggestions for a cheaper alternative I’m sure they would be welcome. But surely between all us fans we can come up with €200 a year to keep this valuable resource going?

My thoughts exactly!
How much data are we talking about, roughly? 1-2 TB maybe? Does it take a fully fledged web server, or will some simple cloud storage do the job?
pcloud (https://www.pcloud.com/ looks quite useful to me for cloud storage. They offer a 2 TB lifetime subscription (99 years) for the price of 2 years of Google Drive!
