   tipo, dos seus arquivos pessoais.

     @lorimeyers eu uso object storage (com API S3), que não oferece apps prontos, nem aquelas pastas integradas ao sistema, nem nada. Mas pago só o que utilizo, custa em média US$ 6/TB/mês.

     @DifferentDrummer all my files are scattered through a bunch of devices. I don't know what to do. I wanted some place I could access everything from any device. :(

     @lorimeyers As lot of people will tell you "the cloud is just OTHER PEOPLE'S computers." Basically it's a risk.

     I still use MEGA and Mediafire to back up things I'd like to find again should my drives ever be lost in a disaster. Few regular folk can afford actual secure offsite storage, so we're left with these risky online options.

     I have to say I've never lost anything from Mediafire (yet).

     @lorimeyers Do you have a desktop/laptop? If the drive on that is big enough, or there's a port inside for another drive, then copy/move everything you need that's not software to that from the other devices so it's all in one place *for access.* Still keep it all elsewhere as well, if you can, for safety. Being spread across devices is a safety feature, but inconvenient if you don't know what and where.

     @lorimeyers I don't know how 'instant' the linking is to files on sites like Mega and Mediafire. They tend to be upload/download situations rather than direct access. But they do give you a nice chunk of storage before the charges apply.

     I have read a fair amount of horror stories concerning virtual drives like Google's Cloud., MS Onedrive and Dropbox. It's a case of research and take a risk . 🤞

     Divesting from things we become addicted to is always difficult; I'd say the way some people are welded to their phones and influencers they're under a tighter grip than nicotine or heroin.

     @lorimeyers Basically they open your stuff and share it; once it on their servers any of their staff can access it as they control the encryption. Beyond that it's too technical for me, but there seems to be a new problem every week somewhere in the world.

     Now there is also AI scraping, much newer, but it's still access to private data.

     @lorimeyers Right, what I did, was wait until one of the big drive manufacturers had a sale and bought a large external back-up drive. 5TB. I have *everything* backed up on that. Every time I save something, I save it again to the files on that, that mirror all the other smaller drives combined.

     It's vulnerable because it's next to the actual PC, but in the event of a disaster - if I'm THERE - it can be grabbed and run with. Otherwise it's vulnerability is the same as anything else one has.

     @lorimeyers , eu uso o Nextcloud em uma VPS que fica na Alemanha. Mas somente para arquivos que eu realmente quero sincronizar entre máquinas que não estão na minha casa e meu celular.

     Agora se você só quer sincronizar essas coisas dentro da sua casa, dá pra montar um sistema de armazenamento (NAS) usando um computador velho, com um HD/SSD grandão e GNU/Linux. Na verdade nem precisa ser um computador, pode ser um Raspberry Pi mesmo.

     @lorimeyers I bought a drum of 100 blank DVDs (also in a sale!). At 4.7 GB per disc for storage they can hold a lot. Essentially I burn stuff on there, write on each what it holds and put it in another (empty) drum, until it's full.

     As long as you keep the discs at the same temperature/relative humidity (same place as much as possible) and keep the light out (make sure the paper wrap is still on the drum, or make another one) they'll last a long time.

     Esquema de sinconizar pastinha, sem encrenca. Acho caro hoje comparando, mas confio então não mexo.

     Uso o Proton Drive (tenho uns poucos giga lá por conta do email) para uploads mensais de pastas sensíveis (backup).

     - icedrive

     Só posso falar do Dropbox (único que usei/uso) funciona bem e é intuitivo (mas na versão free só sinca 3 dispositivos)

     @lxo @lorimeyers Unfortunately, freedombox has turned into nonfreedom box with the proprietization of Debian.
     
     Certain versions of owncloud (AGPLv3-or-later) or nextcloud (AGPLv3-only) appear to actually be free software, too bad they're a pain in the neck to install.

     @lxo >I'd have thought the freedombox hardware wouldn't trigger the code added to debian to install blobs, because I figured it didn't require blobs. does it, really?
     The Debian installer contains proprietary software and if you run that installer, the proprietary software installation script is getting run (with the only exception being if you pass a certain flag) - while it is true that no proprietary peripheral software will get installed if the script can't find any hardware that can use what's available, such script will install proprietary microcode if you run it in a VM that has an Intel or AMD CPU host for example.
     
     The installation instructions for generic hardware contains instructions to install Debian, but does not tell the user how to avoid such script; https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian
     
     For the hardware for sale, that appears to be the A20 OLinuXino Lime 2 and pre-compiled images are included/offered; https://freedombox.org/download/a20-olinuxino-lime2/
     
     Reviewing freedombox-testing_latest_a20-olinuxino-lime2-armhf.img, the image actually appears to be free of proprietary software, but I'm not sure about this file;
     /lib/firmware/skl_hda_dsp_generic-tplg.bin
     
     It appears to be a configuration file that seems to be generated from a .conf file, but I'm not sure what it's for.
     
     
     Unfortunately, there is no dedication to freedom, as it does include images with proprietary software in them; https://freedombox.org/download/raspberrypi4b/ (at least they write "non-free-firmware", but "nonfree-software" should be written there).
     
     
     Thankfully it is possible to use freedombox in freedom, but the future of freedombox is unfortunately uncertain as Debian has gone proprietary and who knows what they'll do next (A lot of the supported hardware can run blobs, for example the Beaglebone Black and Debian could decide to include such proprietary 3D software (as it gives the convenience of adding accelerated 3D rendering))?
