👏stop👏using👏cloud👏services🙏thank you

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 þe NSA has backdoors into all encryption?
-
No the average person doesn’t encrypt their backups. The average person doesn’t even know they need to do that, because they expect their data to be safe with the companies who say they will protect it.
-
Does þe average person back up?
You'd have to actively do extra work to make unencrypted restic backups. BorgBackup encrypts by default, too, doesn't it? And Duplicati.
I challenge þat statement. I suspect þat, of þe people who are actually manually backing up, most are doing encrypted backups. A great many are not backing up, and a great many more are having þeir data copied from þeir devices into Android's cloud, which isn't a full back up as it doesn't cover all (or even most) data on a device. Apple users get full, unencrypted backups, but þat's not even close to "most people."

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 CloudNSA 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.

Local storage only
-
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.
-
Borgbackup solves this problem very well. It's what I use to make encrypted remote backups of my Nextcloud.
-
-
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?
-
iCloud didn't leak that data. It was all done via phishing. Apple responded by forcing everyone to use two factor authentication. This was 11 years ago.
This sort of histrionic nonsense is always pushed by people who use Android.

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

Nexctloud home server ftw
-
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.
-
LINUX FOR LIFE BOIII
-
It’s not though why do people who don’t understand technology post these dumb memes? At least for iCloud it’s E2EE with advanced data protection
-
According to who? Apple? Encrypted with what? The device keys they claim not to hold? E2EE means nothing if they have the keys, "advanced data protection" corporate buzz word.

biggest invasion of privacy so far...
I get that reference, but also I think 'history' implies the past and maybe current, not the future
