Agreed. Do I expect my mom to manually plug in the usb flash? She ain’t have slightest idea of what a file is. Same goes for Nextcloud everything and Syncthing. Setup and done is Immich. The lead dev of Immich explicitly mention his motivation was to make it easy to backup and share pics with his wife and child.

I suggest Matrix if I could choose.

I know right. “All important stuff -> emails” has to change.

I think this is one viable solution to me (not for other normal people).

But again, with my own domain, I’m basically announcing my presence all over the services I sign up to because I’m no longer a part of the mass of Gmail, iCloud etc. users. I fear this will expose myself even worse in case of personal info breaches. And buying multiple domain is not cheap.

Yeah. I agree they will definitely go with proprietary solution. I would much prefer something like Matrix adopted. But that has to be blow up in popularity to replace emails…

Yeah. My point being in terms of AI use, there aren’t really differences between lemmy and Reddit since the data is public. I don’t even see the point why this topic is relevant to privacy.

I wonder what’s different on lemmy though. At the end of the day, this platform is just another platform on the internet which almost anybody have access to. Sure AI use is not on the ToS. But anything open access is assumed to be privacy unfriendly anyway. If it’s the dm feature, it’s a different story.

Thanks guys. I went with Rescuezilla in the end. So far so good.

Thank you for the insight. Changes are incremental I suppose. You are correct that it’s more efficient. But I kind of want to back up the whole disk since I can keep a bootable drive with it right?

First time hearing of this. Any particular reasons?

I’m on a similar boat except I might have less time resource available in the future cause I’m getting a job.

Hopefully I could automate full disk backup because if something like Immich breaks, I can just load up from the backup drive. My family also use the services so… I think it’s great you brought up RAID but I believe when Immich or any software mess things up it’s not recoverable right?

This is something I should consider!

I see. This is more of a file system backup right? Do you recommend it over full disk backup for any reason? I can think of saving space.

Based. Yes. It is an option.
