Looking for ideas on personal data backup. Both the software side and the hardware side. Since almost all personal data nowadays defaults to being hosted online - even data you generally have local copies of anyway - few people seem to ever consciously think about backups, including people working in tech who have better-than-average understanding of privacy and data sovereignty. So I’m wondering how users of this forum handle this. By “personal data” - I mean any data you have access to on your owned devices/online accounts but does not relate to your day job. Your notes, calendar, email, side projects source code/database, pictures, bookmarks, documents. Also data you’ve downloaded/mirrored but is not personal to you because you can’t rely on it being online forever or you just want fast local access to it. What do you consider backup worthy? Do you dump it in some cloud service? You have an elaborate NAS setup running 24x7? Or just some drives you plug in once in a while and run a backup script? What about encryption? Are your backups incremental? Do you prune old versions? Have you ever had to restore from backups? Do you test restoring without needing to? How often? How do you handle different rules for different types of data?

First post! I discovered a Chrome extension that removes AI summaries from popular Norwegian news websites including nrk.no, vg.no, and dagbladet.no. This is definitely worth checking out if you’re concerned about the growing prevalence of AI in our daily browsing experience. What makes this extension particularly valuable is that it serves as an excellent foundation for anyone looking to create similar functionality. You can easily fork the project and adapt it to remove AI summaries from other websites of your choice. Comments
