    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 of… something, I don’t 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.

    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 one’s 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.

    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.
