    I had worked IT for a stock brokerage, and the main concern is preventing loss of data. Every system is designed to fail safe against it. Backups are off site, mirror systems halfway across the country and redundant servers so taking one offline for maintenance does not stop operations. Deliberately deleting data required an organized effort and I imagine it's the same with cloud storage as the potential law suits over lost family photos would ruin a company. Naturally the first thing I do when getting a new computer is disable cloud storage and make my own backups. Investing in a RAID array is also recommended.

      Especially with stuff like AWS and the like - the fees and accounting could basically be their own job function, including "fun" surprises like failed requests against your S3 bucket racking up a $1000 bill. There's some good use of the cloud and off-site hosted stuff in a business context since you can cover your butt with a data processing agreement and it can reduce workload (especially for small teams) but definitely at the cost of paying extra to have someone else handle it.
      For personal use self-hosted is absolutely the way to go - it's still some extra work, but technologies like containers have greatly improved accessibility and in general require less low-level knowledge.

      Storing data, as you call it, "permanentely", is just normal storage. Stuff isnt supposed to suddenly disapear, so it stays there unless explicitily told otherwise. Louis actually mentioned a probable cause in like the first 2 Minutes. A server that wasnt synced correctly, if that server never got told about the deletion it would still have the files.

    I did conclude quite a while back that MS thinks that they own your media; specifically, the xbox (in all its interations) and your PC, no matter what brand it happens to be.
    When I worked for the Department of Defense, Depart of the the Navy, those were enterprise computers and computer networks. They were all interchangeable as far as the PC or laptops, the firmware and software.
    Everyone got the same upgrades and the same programs. There were exceptions, mainly on a case-by-case basis, and each exception had to be elevated to higher levels to provide for exceptions.
    Different competencies were allowed to have programs that other competencies were not. For example, Science and Technology users had programs available to them that Logisticians were not, and so on throughout the entire enterprise.
    All that was what led me to believe that the money I spent on my xboxes and on my PCs were merely the cost of entry into the Microsoft world-wide enterprise.

    the 20th century was a series of lessons on why not to trust governments with unlimited power and why we should resist intrusions on our perosnal lives and we have as a species utterly failed to learn those lessons. I can only imagine the reach and capabilities of a modern stasi, and eventually we WILL see these cute data harvesting tools weaponised against us.

      I get where you're coming from, but it sounds like you're complaining about private capitalist companies, not the government. Obviously the government needs to stop turning a blind eye to what the companies are doing, but privately owned companies acting like authoritarian governments is the problem.
      What you're saying is a contradiction. Lawmakers outlawing that behavior would involve a more powerful government willing to actually criminally prosecute big tech companies. How would lessening the power of the government allow for lawmakers to more tightly clamp down on the messed up behavior of big tech companies?

      As far as I know, there are files on your device and references in a database for the apps to use. If you delete a photo, it first gets removed from the database and then from the device. If something happens in between, the reference is lost and the photo not shown, but still on the device. The update may have rescanned the files and added them back to the database.
      This is clearly an implementation error. First the file has to be deleted, then the database entry and the database should notice if there's a reference to a non existing file and cleans itself up after such an error occurs.

      It was very helpfull writing my thesis!
      It's also very usefull to as building block in a virtual table top before there was specialized VTT software .
      It's not all bad.
      I can't run a NAS as nextcloud server because i'm connected via cable Internet only offerig a DS-Lite connection.

      @@TremereTT You may have at least full IPv6 on your DS-Lite and given that mobile phone providers also do CGNAT, your phone as well should have IPv6. If your router at home isn't the worst crap, you should be able to VPN on native IPv6. (I wouldn't put any mass-produced NAS directly on the internet. They too often failed with security.)

      @@drstefankrank The thing is that in Germany only one of 3 and a half network provider does IPV6 all others do IPV4...And mine only does IPV4
      So the only way for me would be to rent VM as a proxy/router to do the Full Dual stack magic .
      I might even use a google server...the smallest VM is for free.
      OR I will wait for O2/telephonica/e-plus and Vodafone to get IPV6 support for mobile...

      @@TremereTT I'm on with 1&1 on mobile and they use O2 as their network provider, I think. I got a real public IPv6. Online check shows the same as adb shell ip addr.
      Maybe I understood it wrong. Where do you lack IPv6 support? On your home would be crucial to have a public one, from mobile it should suffice if it can connect somehow to IPv6 targets.

    Thanks for that Immich - Hint! I was looking for exactly something like this for long!! Sadly the AI only categorize all in english only. Not a problem for me but for family.
    This is awesome! ❤️

    I would love a video on how to setup a local backup like you describe. I've tried to look into it but google is unhelpful these days and forums are usually not very beginner friendly. I've built a pc before but not very familiar with network stuff. If not a video, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction for information on how to get started 🙏

    It's all big tech... ATT voicemails... they live FOREVER.
    Honestly, it's the NSA and other 3 letter agencies - they want all the big tech to keep these things forever so that they can grab them later. Fellow travelers working for these big tech companies let them in.

      Oh I would love to listen to some of my old voicemails lol specifically one from 17 years ago when my boss was ripping me a new one. It wasn’t a voicemail it was a call. Probably counts for calls too though.
