    Or use rclone/cryptomator and encrypt ur files before uploading them ;) (S3Drive is a nice app for that and is very user friendly, although not foss (uses rclone))

    unless it's self-hosted (or hosted by a trustworthy friend who's realky into privacy)

    biggest invasion of privacy so far...

    I get that reference, but also I think 'history' implies the past and maybe current, not the future

    You don't encrypt your backups? Or are you implying þe NSA has backdoors into all encryption?

    [–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 48 points 3 days ago (6 children)

    No the average person doesn’t encrypt their backups. The average person doesn’t even know they need to do that, because they expect their data to be safe with the companies who say they will protect it.

    The average user dosent active encrypts anything. If you are the person who active makes backups and encrypts them, then you are probably hosting them yourself too. This meme talks more about people uploading there whole phone gallery onto ~~Corporate Cloud~~ NSA servers by default because "its just what the device does".

    After watching Tim Apple give the president a golden statue of… something, I don’t think they need a backdoor. Mr. Apple clearly gave them the keys to the front door.

    [–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I came to the conclusion years ago that there is no difference between NSA servers and Apple/Microsoft/Google servers, they are the same thing. Duplicating those amounts of data would be expensive, just give em a office in building and the keys to everything, after all they are forced to comply and lie about it under the patriot act.

    [–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

    ATT has weird little rooms you’re not even allowed to think about. That’s a little exaggerated but still, no joke.

    Keep your mind sharp and throw away all that junk (harddrives) it's making you lazy I call it local local storage just remember everything it's that easy

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    CPUs? GPUs? you don't need that, just run programs on your frontal lobe dude

    [–] Njos2SQEZtPVRhH@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Frontal lobe is for degenerate modernists, real people rely on their brainstem, and their brainstem only.

    my brainstem tells me it's time for anxiety

    iCloud has an Advanced Data Protection feature, that when enabled, makes one’s personal devices the only place encryption keys are stored. Unless you live in the UK that is.

    [–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    The funny thing is that after a problem with iCloud many people foun their "deleted" things to show up as if they weren't ever deleted...i wonder how much it's secure

    [–] jim3692@discuss.online 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I trust no closed-source encryption mechanism. If I had to use any kind of cloud backup solution, I would first encrypt the files locally with a mechanism that I fully control.

    I have been thinking of doing such thing to keep backups of my home Nextcloud server.

    [–] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago

    Borgbackup solves this problem very well. It's what I use to make encrypted remote backups of my Nextcloud.

    [–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company's word.

    Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?

    Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?

    At least there's redundancy! Good luck trying to request recovery of the files though.

    The dumbest thing I ever saw are mostly seemingly straight people keeping their porn (sometimes homemade nudes or otherwise) on phones and sometimes on their laptops. And technicians working on those run into such incriminating content.

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    i mean, where else am i supposed to keep it?

    [–] jim3692@discuss.online 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    VHS. No one will bother with it.

    Do NOT steal your friends home vids hidden in the football recordings. (trainspotting)
