I’d go with optical media here. Probably multiple capsules.

M-Disk (DVD if it will fit, otherwise Blu-ray)
Make an encrypted archive of your data. Strong password - I suggest diceware with 8 or more words so you might remember it in 30 years
Use DVDisaster to add parity data. You sacrifice some space, but you get error tolerance in exchange
Wrap the disks up in good jewel cases, well sealed plastic, along with some good big silica gel desiccant packs.
Put all that in the smallest durable, airtight container you can
stash somewhere it probably won’t be disturbed for a few decades. Memorize.
destroy all evidence you did this.

Yeah, syncthing can do all of that except public share links. Run an instance on your NAS so there is always a sync target online.

I strongly recommend ZFS as a filesystem for this as it can handle your sync, backup, and quota needs very well. It also has data integrity guarantees that should frankly be table stakes in this application. Truenas is an easy way to accomplish this, and it can run docker containers and VMs if you like.

Tailscale is a great way to connect them all, and connect to your nas when you aren’t home. You can share devices between tailnets, so you don’t all have to be on the same Tailscale account.

I’ll caution against nextcloud, it has a zillion features but in my experience it isn’t actually that good at syncing files. It’s complicated to set up, complicated to maintain, and there are frequent bugs. Consider just using SMB file sharing (built into truenas), or an application that only syncs files without trying to be an entire office suite as well.

For your drive layouts, I’d go with big drives in a mirror. This keeps your power and physical space requirements low. If you want, ZFS can also transparently put metadata and small files on SSDs for better latency and less drive thrashing. (These should also be mirrored.) Do not add an L2ARC drive, it is rarely helpful.

The boxes are kinda up to you. Avoid USB enclosures if at all possible. Truenas can be installed on most prebuilt NAS boxes other than synology, presuming it meets the requirements. You can also build your own. Hot swap is nice, and a must-have if you need normies to work on it. Label the drive serial number on the outside so you can tell them apart. Don’t go for less than 4 bays, and more is better even if you don’t need them yet. You want as much RAM as feasibly possible; ZFS uses it for caching, and it gives you room to run containers and VMs.

Damn, if they had PII in a public bucket like that it’s criminally negligent. Well, at least it should be but I’m no lawyer

God damn I laughed till I cried when I first saw this… would have been like 2007?

It would be defined as part of the law, hopefully with something reasonable and robust.

Take genocide advocacy - it pretty clearly leads to people getting hurt even if we don’t know exactly who.

They’d be lying if they present an „expert” who isn’t.

It just rubs me the wrong way that the only people with a claim against Fox News for the big lie was the voting machine company over lost profits. We can at least solve the standing issue.

In this context I pretty much mean advocating for genocide or fascism. That and I don’t think you should be able to lie out your ass and call it news.

I think it’s disingenuous to group freedom of thought with speech and expression. Limiting the first is impossible, while every country on earth limits the other two to some degree.

My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t be able to hurt people in stupid, hateful, predictable ways.

I fucking hate algorithm speak so much

Does google let you ban pinterest?

If you use kagi, the AI summary is opt-in. Trigger it with a question mark at the end of your query. I like kagi.

I mean if it’s worked without modification for 6 years….

Does what I want and gets out of my way.

I bet he trained it on /pol/

I wish he didn’t feel the need to be so defensive about his choices. Bazzite is perfect for this use case

Life is too short to wash spoons with your hands.

Don’t pre-rinse, just scrape the bigger bits into the trash. If your dishwasher can’t handle it there’s something wrong with it.

but they aren’t parallel
