    1. Entropy is a law of our universe. All data wants to be lost given a long enough timeline and without attention.

    2. Divide your data into what you can’t do without and what you may not care about losing.

    3. Take a backup out of your hands, make it as automatic as possible.

    4. I sync to encrypted folders on Google drive then use msp360 cloud to automatically copy everything in that drive to another cheap cloud storage that is client side encrypted.

    For the protection it gives me, it’s cheap.








  • I’m in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

    We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said ‘i’m trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.’. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

    Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.








  • I use idrive e2. When I did the math it’s yearly up front cost works out what deep archive is without an egress fee and it’s quicker. In the fine print there is a fair use policy on downloads but I think it’s 5x the storage amount.

    Deep archive storage alone without puts is $24 TB year. idrive is $15 first year $30 subsequent. But it behaves more like s3 standard instant retrieval which is much more expensive.

    Small company but have been around a long time now.
