Howdy! Im a photographer, and I take a lot of photos, and I'd like to be able to store them for extremely long periods of time. I would be perfectly fine with a cloud based solution, or just getting a bunch of HDDs together and making a file server, but I'm incredibly concerned about my photos being used to train AI, especially with companies like Microsoft adding in clauses in their TOS that basically say that they can use whatever you have to throw into an algorithm as training data.
As such I don't feel comfortable with using something that can be subject to changing TOS to store my art, so I'm willing to invest in something that will be completely secure.
I want to have a computer that has no networking capabilities whatsoever running Linux attached to an LTO drive.
I want to plug my SD card into the machine, have it dump everythg to the tape, and then wipe my SD card.
I want zero data compression, which is why I want LTO instead of HDD. I created about 3tb of raw data per year with my photos, so it ends up being really expensive to use HDD drives.
How hard would this be to do? And/or what software do I need? I'd love any sort of advice you can give me.
