So I'm quite new to the self hosting world, and not the most tech savvy, but I'm looking for a way to expand and increase the reliability of my file storage. I used to just use cloud storage but got concerned about privacy and environmental impact and whittled down all of my data to about 200GB including all my music, photos, movies, backup files, etc. I have a laptop, phone, and mp3 player and currently use synching to sync all of my files across all three devices. This works great, I love how seamless, cheap, and automatic everything is. But I want to expand my storage abilities and include a backup that isn't with me / in my apartment. I was thinking of getting a couple raspberry pis with m.2 ssds, one to leave at my sisters house (small and unobtrusive little plastic box connected to power and her wifi) and then one at my apartment to act as another node, freeing up space on my phone so that all my files are in at least 3 different devices (3:2:1 rule?). this feels like an fairly easy project to set up, but I have a feeling there is probably a better way to go about what I'm trying to achieve.

Also KeePassDX can do 2fa and if you keep passwords there it makes logging in with 2fa super quick and seamless

haven't had any issues so far! but I ported my existing number and haven't tried creating any new accounts which is where I suspect most of the issues arise. most carriers give out your name and address to banks so I think jmp is targeted when you are a new customer and they want to verify you through your carrier. i have switched to a local credit union for my cards so if an issue arises I can always talk to a real human to verify my identity
