This is great, I have a NAS and I still get slow data corruption for my long term data even using bit-rot resilient file systems. I would like a way to back up 5Tb of photos and videos on a single disc to bury somewhere for long term (decades) storage.

It'll be end to end encrypted. As far as I'm aware, beeper needs access to messages send cross platform

Can you move to a place where the earning to spending ratio is more in your favor? Somewhere with cheaper living expenses or higher pay?

What is this? I don't speak German so Google wasn't really useful

Don't follow someone else's path. I took a year off to travel in my 20s, a year off to sail in my 30s, and now that I'm 40 I'm planning another year long adventure in the next 5 years. I wasn't born into wealth, I spent less than I earned, invested the rest, and avoided debt. Don't get a big house in the suburbs with a mortgage, new lease car every 4 years, student loans, etc unless that's what your actually want. Set yourself up for success with smart money management so you can do what you want.

To be fair, destroying the planet and foresaking future generations is easier than admitting you were wrong.

Modding is a time consuming and often thankless job, this doesn't sound like power tripping.

Take these numbers with a grain of salt. The real number of troops sent will be unknown because they're all wearing camouflage.

Just get naked at a regular party and start the trend. Trust me, others will join in if you confidently emerge butt naked from the loo.

AWS & Azure don't offer free VMs but they offer other always free cloud services. I use Oracle Cloud's Always Free VMs which are great. You can get two AMD-based compute VMs and one Arm-based compute VM with 24GB of RAM. I've been using them for nearly 2 years now. GCP also has a more basic always free VM offering.

Free tier cloud services like AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Azure. I use free tier VMs to host random services like VPNs, Mastodon instance, etc.

Tailscale has a free tier to connect your devices, VMs, and home servers.

GitHub pages is great for hosting any simple website for free.
