Now that TikTok has been ruined, I decided to check out RedNote (Xiaohongshu) again. It's only fair to let China have some of my data too. 🇨🇳

*5 min of swiping later*
Should I... move to China?

@Gina properly funny stuff, but however bad our feelings are towards big tech and currently the USA, what the people of China deal with on a day to day basis is terrifying.

I'm one of the minority that never installed TikTok. Same with Snapchat btw, to make me even lonelier 🤪

You have a very specific FOMO+OCD combo me think.

@tsvenson lol I'm 30+ so I've never used Snapchat either. But TikTok was really funny and socially relevant for a while, before US politics started messing with it.

I avoided both, TikTok most, because of the risk getting stuck in doom-scrolling. Knowing myself, I think it was a good choice.

Symmetry and silence. Have a peaceful Sunday.

@st3fan yeah funnily enough my self-hosting / leaving Big Tech journey started a year ago. I was fed up paying so much to Dropbox... when most files were only on their systems (to save space on my computer) and I could never have an overview of all the data I had.
So I planned on slowly starting to back up everything to a 12TB drive and stop paying Dropbox when my yearly subscription ended. One thing led to another and I started self-hosting so many things... and keeping all docs, photos and videos on local encrypted drives that I religiously back-up at home and in 2 off-sites. Total game changer

@evgandr I remember the times when the backup could be stored into a Zip drive 💾

@RFancio in realtà ci sono anche qui altrimenti la sezione "per te" e le robe "in tendenza" non ci finirebbero. Solo che sono progettati su base cronologica e numerica e non in base agli inserzionisti. Al momento - e per questo verrò linciata - preferisco Bluesky nonostante qualche brutta esperienza e blocco iniziale. Il Fediverso mi sta insegnando cose su moderazione e costi di gestione e capisco (non condivido) anche molte scelte aziendali dei social cosiddetti commerciali @Trames

@electricsheep da blogger non trovo molto sensato non portare le persone sul blog a leggere dove possono scoprire anche il resto, senza dipendere da altre piattaforme, centralizzate o meno. Personalmente poi trovo scomodo leggere cose troppo lunghe su un social ma quella è la vecchiaia 🤣

Good morning Fedi friends and happy Sunday!
I just arrived in Italy at my parents' 🥳
I literally let out a happy scream when I saw that my monitor is connected to an HDMI switch (I couldn't remember if I had taken it to Paris or I had one here). This means I can seamlessly switch between my Mac Mini and my Raspberry Pi 5 - YAY.
I'm currently in the process of backing up my photo and video libraries to my local drive... I'm pretty adamant in having 4 copies of my data... with 2 off-site (one at my parents' and one at my in-laws') 💁♀️
And no I don't trust cloud backups with my media because... the cloud is someone else's computer... and my full photo/video library is 2.2 TB 😅
Anyway, backup now and pizza with the family soon 🍕
Have a great day everyone!
P.S.: edit/update: I've been meaning to give a shout-out to my favorite software EVER for peace of mind: #CarbonCopyCloner on Mac. It's so smart, evaluating changes on drives and only copying new things

@thatgiga Ho sempre dormito come un sasso ma quest'anno è stato un macigno emotivo... speriamo passi che se non dormo sono amorevole come un grinch e rinco più del solito
