This sounds like a problem I’m too Linux to understand
I am almost 100% ubuntu, but working in home office and remoting to use my three monitor setup from work (windows) at home is a nightmare. Remmina is the best at the moment and she laggy as, and getting it to use all three screens at work, at home… Nightmare
Never found remmina to be laggy but never tried with 3 monitors. Still sounds better than what I had to do when i had to work from home a few years ago. I had to run a windows vm, to log in to citrix at work (didn’t work directly in Linux for me then) to then remote desktop into servers and work in emacs there. It was virtualization hell. It worked but oh boy was everything laggy… Should have gone one deeper and ran my linux on a hypervisor for a true beauty of a setup.
The cloud is just someone elses computer, you could pay 19.99 a year for 100 gbs of storage on some shady corporations server somewhere for them to inevitably jack up the price. Or you could not be an idiot and buy a 128 gb flash drive for 14.99 one time and have that storage forever.
Flashdrives are not forever storage. Flashdrives corrupt literally all the time. And old flashdrives that sit around also corrupt while not in use. If you care about your data, store that data in multiple places. Follow the data hygiene rules. 3 2 1: 3 copies of the data, on 2 different storage mediums, with 1 copy off-site.
You think you can do better for 15 dollars go ahead.
15? I pay like 80 euro for 1 year m365 family. That’s 5 Terrabyte for 80/12=6,66 euro/month.
That’s less then a cent per GB. Much less. Combine that with Amazon photos (Unlimited photo storage, included with prime) and i’m set.
There is no cheaper storage plan.
Got it so buy a second drive, and pay $15/mo to the cloud storage company.
If you’re willing to deal with managing it, 125gb on s3 seems to cost about $3 per month.
forever is a long time. distributed copies might last beyond my time. eh
TBF that’s forever until your house burns down with it inside
or the drive wasn’t plugged in for a long time, causing the flash storage to degrade
buy the 32g thumbs for about $5. load with mp3s-4s and give as gifts. for backups
As soon as I saw that mustache I wanted to get out my knife as well.
Hey, moustaches make you a better programmer
I can totally relate. I went and built a NAS then installed Proxmox on it to then create a VM for TrueNAS in which i then created a docker for Nextclound. Then I installed Arch on a different VM and used Nextcloud sync so I can have access to my files on my laptop that also runs Arch. Humblebrag over, I apologize for trying to relate to a windows user.
Bro, I had just reinstalled windows and I moved my backup folder straight to my desktop, then left. I get an alert like two hours later saying my onedrive is full. What? Go back and the copy failed. I can excuse it automatically backing stuff up because people don’t understand anything, but to cancel my local transfer is insane. I was livid. OneDrive is cancer.
Would actively fuck apps up because it would register as a file touch and break things that expected unchanged file content
Almost all the new hires at work save shit to one drive and teams and it’s incredibly annoying to locate anything. Just save it to the dang shared drive.
I had to force people in our lab to use the shared drive, they were all so resistant to it for some reason. Lo and behold they love it now because its easy to share stuff and you can use any computer to get it.
I’m gonna go buy a copy of Linux
I will sell you my copy. DM me, I’ll give you a deal
buy
What is this word?
You’re really missing out if you’re not buying Ubuntu Pro.
I miss boxed copies of Linux $50 and you got a thick book with it.
I remember buying Suse Linux in the box at CompUSA where i lived. I was so excited!
I, too, shoplift my install USB’s. /s
Raw dog PXE boot over the fucking internet
Memorize the kernel, stick your dick in the PCIe slot, I N S T A L L
Undesirables = tech ceos
TRY AGAIN IN THREE DAYS
Yeah, my factory windows install died and refused to boot up, because I spent too long without creating an account or some ransom shit like that…I was sad for a second…then I booted back to Debian as I do every day :))
I’ve never had an account… not sure what weirdness you experienced but I’ve never once been pestered or asked for a login. Infact, the only thing I get is the ‘lets finish setting up windows’ full screen trash, which is just a window and I can alt-f4 to close. It’s been years like that.
But housing it behind a key combination is malicious for the average user.
Something, something, Linux, something, something, autism.

A reminder that if your data is not backed up in a different physical location, then it is not safe.
Reminder that you should choose where to back up to, not Microsoft.
Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.
The technically inclined were the worst offenders, they always felt like they knew better than the defaults but they never actually set anything up.
OneDrive sucks but it is better than losing everything because your shit suddenly dies.
All I ever see is most people using (whatever system cloud provider comes with their computer/phone/tablet) and forking over $3, 5, $10, $20 a month to make the “your cloud is full!” alert to go away.
Somewhere in the middle is the way, and in countries like the US, that something in the middle should probably not be a US cloud provider anymore.
To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.
Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.

I’d love to back up my phone locally, if there was an option, but AFAIK there isn’t, so I’m stuck. This is a problem with companies forcing you into their cloud ecosystem and removing your ability to bypass it and control things yourself. It’s only getting worse.

Can you not use Syncthing?
Syncthing could be used to replicate a directory somewhere, but that doesn’t address backing up the phone itself (apps, settings, SMS messages, etc.). Only option I’m aware of is iCloud. You can connect the phone directly to iTunes on a computer and back it up that way, but that only works with a hardwired USB connection and can’t be automated, so it’s a non-starter for a regular backup system. Android probably has more options, I’m referring to iOS specifically here though.
Depends on the data, some data would be fine being deleted but not fine being leaked, some the other way around.
And also if you don’t try to restore your backups from time to time, you may actually not have any backups.
Man, with the Linux users on one side and daddy Microsoft high on the cloud, C: don’t get no respect!
now to be fair, you can organize your onedrive too
I don’t want to.
