Well Sync is not a backup, but I get what you mean. On top of that I do have my own Nas ๐ so using that with at least another separate offline ssd should be good enough.

I pulled the trigger and decided to leave. Not only because of the recent actions from Proton, but when I started looking for alternatives I quickly realized how deeply integrated I was into their eco system and how difficult it was to make the switch. That's personally not something I like. I guess this goes back to the saying, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket'.
I'm now a happy customer of:
- Mullvad for VPN
- Bitwarden as password manager
- Fastmail for email
- Ente for photos
- Yet to decide on cloud storage for files.
I know fastmail isn't the perfect privacy option but works very well for me. They own all their own hardware and use encryption at rest. They help develop open standards such as Jmap to replace imap. . This, to me says a lot about the people behind the company and is something I appreciate.
For those looking for a more private email solution then Tuta is a great option too!
Best of luck out there folks ๐
Thanks for that! โจ
Oh thats a lot less than i had imagined actually and very neat that u can turn of re-hosting pictures! Putting this on my to-do list!
Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it's not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!
Alright yeah I see what you mean. The i7-6700K was just a leftover cpu I had from a prvious computer build, and it has worked wonders uptil now as it has Quick Sync. But yeah, I was kinda hoping there would be an "easy" solution for connecting a MINI PC to some type of enclosed case for the HDDs with a SATA connection between the two. I'll probably end up with a different use case for the minipc in the end. Thanks for your input!
Right, so sorry if I was a bit unclear about this. The rack is just something i'd like in the forseeable future. I like the idea of having a small homelab.
My usecase is media streaming. Unraid because its more simple and I want to support the good work they do there.
Am not planning on using the big machine in the future, this is just what I was able to scramble up as a student from second hand shops and friends.
I assume you mean the AMD CPU when you mention that its an odd choice? Well, im getting it for free, so thats why :)
No idea how I would connect the drivers, was hoping there would be an easy solution for this but seems there might not be? Guess I'll have to look into something that has data as you say as I wouldn't want to slow down speeds or make it unreliable.
The rack I linked isn't one I want on specific, but generally in that direction. It's a small one for sure, though they have larger ones too:
My apologies, It is mostly a media server (Jellyfinn+arr stack), but also for many random projects i like such as Mealie, Freshrss, linkding, memos etc...
forgot to mention im getting the mini-pc for free ๐
thanks for the link!
Thanks a lot! This was helpful and I too landed on Fastmail after hearing they're supporting (and helping develop) open standards.
