  • Fair enough, I knew my take wouldn’t be a popular one here. In all fairness if you are using Apple products the iCloud sync brings all of the metadata with the data on every device that accesses it.

    While I don’t have any illusions that Apple has my back they do have a lot invested in keeping people’s trust in their ecosystem. The automated on-device CSAM scanning kerfuffle that they backed away from shows that they are sensitive to the threat of people leaving their walled garden.

    Another fairly easy to implement local solution that wouldn’t be an admin headache is to put a Mac mini with a bunch of attached storage on the network and use it as a file server. I do that for my PleX.


  • This will be an unpopular suggestion here but why not just go all in on iCloud? It’s reasonably inexpensive for not data-hoarding amounts of data, reasonably secure and E2E encrypted. Given the low cost, zero setup if they’re already Apple people and lack of admin I think it is ideal for them.

    I pay for iCloud storage because I want HomeKit Secure Video cloud storage (I also have a local copy on disk).














  • She waited 72 hours. The last living rescue was less than 24 hours after the flood.

    We don’t pay government to provide services, we pay government to support political functionaries and their appointed staff in their role as thieves of our taxes.

    Small government for ®'s is no spending on services. Small government for (D)'s is no limits on spending for things we all agree we need (with all of the overhead of the R’s).

    I guess I would rather have the one where I get some basic level of service from my government but I can’t claim to like it.

    So totally true. I’m glad to see my intended comment so well phrased. My son was full of personality from the moment his eyes opened (and I melted).

    As for funeral - myself, I don’t see the point of one for anyone. They don’t care. If the people left behind feel the need to do something they can but I don’t see the point of it.
