Setting up my own NAS and offside backup.

Big project for sure, but being in control of my vital backups was important for me. Additionally the up front costs is lower than the subscriptions I would have needed.

Just take out the wifi module. If you need wifi just use a USB adapter. That's your kill switch.

I enjoy a program called Alldup. It's quite nice for my uses

With camera sensors being so good, the major differences will be autofocus capabilities.

Imagine an open source autofocus algorithm that people can use their own photos locally so that it can focus on your shooting style.

My passphrase includes several spaces. It's another character to assist in entropy.

Not if you have a proper backup plan.

I have about 200ish TB or about 24 drives and 3 of them failed all are used. I have a solid backup plan so no issues with failing drives. Saves me roughly 100-200 a drive.

New drives have infant mortality as well. An inverse bell curve would be the distribution.

No way 3,840 × 2,160x2=16,588,800 pixels 16,588,800 x 10 bits = 165,888,000 bits

165,888,000 bits / 8 bits/byte = 20,736,000 bytes

I still shoot film and I still have a record player.

First smart phone was an iPhone 5S.

Guess my age?

Yeah, I was a little shocked too.

Especially in apartment complexes. There's usually a communal outbox for anyone to send out mail. But no, you'll have to go all the way to a post office to drop off mail. The nearest one is a 20 minute walk for me.

I have 2 monitors and sometimes I wish I had a tiny monitor so I can put any video calls in the corner so I don't have a dumb overlay on my productivity monitors

Rip off the label and put it with your burn pile.

Or you could use a wallpaper scoring tool to shred it on the box.
