@irgndsondepp I'm pretty certain some people here would appreciate a tiny manual ;-)

@CiaraNi Super!
I wasn't trying to be pedantic btw. It's just that we have the same setup and even though I DO remember (I told myself "this is a thing on the first sunday of the month") for the past months life got in the way.
And then on Friday evening my laptop crapped out.. I eventually fixed it but it would've been very frustrating to have the backup disk be very much out of date.
@Pepijn Oh I didn't take it as pedantic at all! I have been out of the backing-up habit for years, so I did need a nudge there. It did happen to me many moons ago, where I lost more than I would have liked because I'd slacked on back-ups. So a reminder to do a regular reminder was appreciated. (Am glad you didn't lose your stuff, by the way.)

@CiaraNi @sebastian @Flatus
What's your opinion about Jottacloud? They are a Norwegian company.
https://jottacloud.com/nb/@andresimous @sebastian @Flatus Thanks for the recommendation - I've added the name to my list for investigating when I browser more around.

’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.

Sooner or later it's going to get really bad for the Americans, unless they get the hang of things. -

@sebastian @Flatus Thanks for the tip. I did browse around in NextCloud's solutions but couldn't see a simple off-the-shelf one for a non-tech person like me who just wants it to plug-and-play work. I've been waiting to see Tuta's drive. Then the DanmarkSkifter campaign nudged to me to stop faffing around - get off OneDrive now, get the photos backed up, then pick the right cloud solution after that. Otherwise I'll never take that final step.
which makes a lot of sense _ not everything has to be shiny cloud, all the time.
with the low prices of large USB drives etc - sometimes local backup is just enough. -

Before I could pick my 2026 goal for #DanmarkSkifter, I did a digital status. I was mildly surprised when I saw my 2025 digital changes together. I looked at the list and thought: ’Tell me you hang out in the Fediverse without telling me you hang out in the Fediverse.’
From Outlook to Tuta
From Office to Libre
From MS Authenticator to Ente Authenticator
From Google Play to F-Droid
From Spotify to AntennaPod
From Firefox to Vivaldi
From DuckDuckGo to NoAIDuckDuckGo
And I bought a back-up drive.@CiaraNi noiaduckduck go. Den kendte jeg ikke! Tak for tippet! 👌
-
@sebastian @Flatus Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised at how relatively inexpensive a very large back-drive was. And doing manual back-ups and removing my too-large photo archive from the cloud manually has forced me into better habits, making me think about what I keep and what I delete. (For years, I was blissfully unaware of the environmental cost of digital storage.)

@metteh Jeg tror, jeg selv hørte om noAI-Duck i første omgang her på Mastodon. Det var befriende at flytte over til!

@evan like wtf. To my friends and followers who require alt text to even *read* a post it is the ONLY thing, buddy.
-
@evan Shall I block you before or after I explain this?
-
@niekolaas hello and welcome!
-
@quietmarc why is that the most important thing?

I won't boost your antifascist image or screenshot if it doesn't have alt text
