biggest invasion of privacy so far...

unless it's self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who's realky into privacy)
Or use rclone/cryptomator and encrypt ur files before uploading them ;) (S3Drive is a nice app for that and is very user friendly, although not foss (uses rclone))
buying a bluray burner and a stack of discs is way cheaper and it will take forever to use them all unless you're a hardcore hoarder.
I was curious and looked it up, the price for BDXL could be a lot better. You're better off just backing up to external HDD and keeping it on a faraday bag or something.
I used to (like 20 years ago) back up to DVD. It got pretty unweildy keeping track of what "stuff" I kept on which disk.
That said I guess I do fall into the "hardcore hoarder" category.
You don't encrypt your backups? Or are you implying ΓΎe NSA has backdoors into all encryption?
The average user dosent active encrypts anything.
If you are the person who active makes backups and encrypts them, then you are probably hosting them yourself too.
This meme talks more about people uploading there whole phone gallery onto Corporate Cloud NSA servers by default because "its just what the device does".
After watching Tim Apple give the president a golden statue ofβ¦ something, I donβt think they need a backdoor. Mr. Apple clearly gave them the keys to the front door.
I came to the conclusion years ago that there is no difference between NSA servers and Apple/Microsoft/Google servers, they are the same thing. Duplicating those amounts of data would be expensive, just give em a office in building and the keys to everything, after all they are forced to comply and lie about it under the patriot act.
Local storage only
Keep your mind sharp and throw away all that junk (harddrives) it's making you lazy I call it local local storage just remember everything it's that easy
CPUs? GPUs? you don't need that, just run programs on your frontal lobe dude
At least there's redundancy! Good luck trying to request recovery of the files though.
iCloud has an Advanced Data Protection feature, that when enabled, makes oneβs personal devices the only place encryption keys are stored. Unless you live in the UK that is.
I trust no closed-source encryption mechanism. If I had to use any kind of cloud backup solution, I would first encrypt the files locally with a mechanism that I fully control.
I have been thinking of doing such thing to keep backups of my home Nextcloud server.
Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company's word.
Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?
Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?
The funny thing is that after a problem with iCloud many people foun their "deleted" things to show up as if they weren't ever deleted...i wonder how much it's secure
The dumbest thing I ever saw are mostly seemingly straight people keeping their porn (sometimes homemade nudes or otherwise) on phones and sometimes on their laptops. And technicians working on those run into such incriminating content.
i mean, where else am i supposed to keep it?
