That sounds about right.

How are all these governments and companies managing to enshitify everything? Yet, when it comes to real problems like world hunger, child poverty, and exploitation, no one even blinks an eye.

Fuck all the way off Eric.. *sharpening axe

I really appreciate you taking the time for the reply. From your point of view this makes sense of course and I hope you are right about the upcoming improvements. I did some experiments with a M1 Mac mini and was quickly disappointed but maybe I'll give it another shot. Thanks again, I'm always open to be corrected and love to learn new stuff.

Stopped reading at 64GB of RAM in a M2 Mac... That's not a real world example to start.

All of a sudden some people realize who they work for. To be honest it sounds more like someone is trying to safe their image. At least that's my interpretation.

Proxmox and help of some Proxmox helper scripts make it really simple to spin up some things to test stuff. https://community-scripts.org/

I know always check the scripts but for a beginner it really helped me a lot. Back in the days when Tteck was still around.

Fuck all the way off with all this subscriptions to finally make this AI shit profitable. It won't work and people don't need all this datacenters. I really hate this timeline and all this billionaire bullshit.

Is house made of treat? If no I don't want.

This might be the most perfect gif for the situation

All these Epstein billionaires can fuck all the way off. Zero responsibility and accountability. Data centers are basically just poison for people, nature and the economy. Time to get a good old pitchfork and round them up for a French revolution. Just as a metaphor, of course...

Fuck off with all of this AI shit. I want to decide what's important to me and I could not care less for Google's opinion on that.

 

I'm fairly new to self-hosting and privacy. I used to be all about Apple. I scanned all my important documents and stored them in iCloud. That worked pretty well, but because I tend to make my life harder than necessary, I switched from an iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS. It's a hassle, but I'm happy with my decision overall. Unfortunately, my files are still in iCloud. As a Mac user, that's not too bad, but not being able to access my files on the go is annoying.

I'm afraid to store all my important files in an LXC on my Proxmox server, even with daily backups.

Should I switch from iCloud to Nextcloud, Proton, or something similar? Or should I create an offsite backup—one encrypted in the cloud and one in my house? How are others handling this? Would an extra backup at a family member's house be a good idea? Is paying for cloud storage common? I'd really appreciate any suggestions or ideas. Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Also, having 2 TB of iCloud storage made it too easy, since I didn't carefully choose the files to upload. But paying 10 bucks a month feels a little stupid now that I don't have the comfort factor any more.
