Backblaze

I also have my 160tb home server for anything not vital.

I use my own NAS at my homelab. Prior i liked nextcloud but i had regularly new problems with it and switched to just my own NAS and syncing with syncthing. My NaS gets backupped nightly onto a big backup-drive which gets backuped too. Then encrypted and stored another backup on degoo (sucks ass but i have a lifetime 3tb-acc so....).

So when me or my SO snap a pictures, it's instantly at home (and locally deleted) and a day later supersafe. Best circumvention of SDcard-lack in stupid "modern" phones.

Not bad, quite like this! also had a few issues with nextcloud previously, but that is a long time ago, have heard it has improved quite a bit since.

Maybe. I thought about retrying it. But it was really annoying last time. Every other update and something stopped working. Wifey pissed coz pictures not syncing and whatnot. I ended up just killing it. Maintenance should not be that high, it's private, that's not a job 😁

The secret to running your own nextcloud is: Don't install the latest major version.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but... It's an open wound in a sensitive local setup. Shouldn't one apply the latest stitches to be safe? I fear zero-days. But why risk having three-months-ago-days?

But ok, considering there aren't many alternatives....

Last three major versions receive security patches, so you do install updates, but you don't update to the latest major, there's a difference.
