I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.
There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.
What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.
My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.
Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.
There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.
So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?
I am looking for the original advertisement of either Google Docs or potentially Google Chromebooks, strongly believing it's the former.
It was an ad in which someone wrote some words while walking counterclockwise through an office setup, destroying several laptops and showing that the written words had already been synced to the next device about to be used and destroyed.
