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))
But most people do have the time to save their files.
While true, ensuring an application stays stable and reliable over the course of time is a pain in the ass. Spinning up a docker-compose.yml easy as pie, just don’t ask me how to backup or manage a database or we’re all screwed.
No sane person suggests you self host mail or make a phone (no one using linux phone suggests it) What vpn would you self host?? How would that even work lol, you mean tailscale? That lets you connect to your own pc from anywhere, not exactly how the vpns you typically use work. Same with storage, ppl reccomend backups on the cloud and selfhosted. If you value your data might as well make sure you never lose it in case something goes wrong.
In the most pessimistic scenario it’s the only future (hope ) people have if they want to stay being people. The most pessimistic future of the commercial internet is every piece of information locked behind your personalized chat bot, every content tailored to you only and generated by machine. Just hook up to the matrix, they’re waiting for you.
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.
👏stop👏using👏cloud👏services🙏thank you

unless it’s self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who’s realky into privacy)
I m sick all self hosted bullshit,do u really think everyone have that much spare time to spare on such bullshit.
Then stick to the “don’t use it” part.

The self host craze is stupid,
you need storage?self host the server You need vpn? Self host You need mail?self host You need phone?make it yourself
There is no limit to this madness,and self hosting isn’t secure as people make it out to be,its always 1 minute away from getting hacked.

Hack me bro
How do you know someone hasn’t alr lol
logging.
Haha. Fair.
Self hosted doesn’t always have to be a huge time sink - Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances are getting pretty nice.
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.

it is still like 100 gb or so on one disc.
