💩 Niklas What's your setup for personal backups? I've just started using restic on an old HDD I found, still looking for a good (cheap) SSD to buy. I think I should use at least two hard drives for backups, maybe even do some fancy RAID... By the way, this post serves as a REMINDER TO DO YOUR BACKUPS!
🥝 Mr I've used them all: hard drive, raids, NAS, cloud. Pro's and con's. They all kinda suck. My favorite "backup" system so far is still icloud for the iphone. You can literally buy a new phone, log in to your account and it replicates everything over perfectly. I kinda wish PC had something like that...

💩 Niklas I haven't used icloud before, but I can imagine that it works really well in the closed environment it runs in. For me there'd just be the issue of having my data stored on another computer unencrypted, I assume?

🥝 Mr All icloud data is encrypted in transit and on disc with icloud. It's also encrypted on device itself so i really don't have any concerns about that. It's been a pain to encrypt everything I own over the past couple years... It's nice that apple just encrypted everything without user intervention. Most people don't even know.

💩 Niklas Damn, that actually sounds pretty cool. Still, Apple seems to be in a position that would allow them to undermine the encryption...
