Outside my depth but I’ll give it a stab. Identify what data is important, (is the full 42Tb needed?). Can the data be split into easier to handle chunks?

If it is, then I personally do an initial sneakernet to get the fist set of data over. Then mirror different on a regular basis.

Plus the desire to fulfill it.

Only works when no one is looking at you… and when you’re naked.

Can probably make a trilogy out of it… maybe even a franchise.

Does not teleport your cloths.

They can say that anyways with poll stations stuffing ballots. How is that different?

This is something we used to deal with regularly on /r/adoption and /r/genealogy

Sounds like an opertunity to build the community here.

Good post… should be in the Magazine FAQ/Wiki…

Few more scams to call out…

• Send money to help family member injured out of town.
• Amazon fake order (anyone calling for that matter saying you’ve been billed or ordered something).
• Car should also be for anything requesting a deposit before seeing in person with appropriate access or buying, (rental property, pets…). Usually high pressure and a really good deal situation.
• if it’s too good to be try or you feel soemthing is off… it usually is.

Good information here.

External Drives come with software now to help people sync the data, (for the less techincal).

You could also just manually copy the data by clicking and dragging.

I’m kind of a command line junkie so I use robocopy in scripts.

Password management is another big topic that is pretty big.

Something as simple a writing it down on paper in a safe location works for some.

Are also other options.

Trust level can vary. Publicly shared photos I would suspect you’d be okay with. Your crypto wallet… less so. Everyone needs to work out what’s best for them, however, the original point is … don’t have all your eggs in one basket. Backup your data.

It is an insane tool to get the data moved / shared / copied / transfered quickly. The risk is sharing to sources you didn’t want, like the service provider, (look up Rick and Morty work being deleted due to copyright infringement…off the writers account). Also what if your account is stolen / hacked / deleted and Apple / Google / MS… aren’t being cooperative with recovery.

Two drives is a good thing. Always have a copy at a remote location and swap it out rather than shuttling the one drive back and forth.

rclone is a good solution. I use it myself. I also just found out about syncthing which is great for syncing with your phone to something to the local network.

I probably got an answer from you there. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m still not very familiar with how the instances work. I see in the app that you can select the server, (are these not instances?). Or is the instance Msastodon vs Lemmy vs Kbin?

Done. I wonder if you can have a template to auto-populate.

My sincere condolences.

We are in an age that this shouldn’t happen.

Phones to capture events should be an opertunity to capture videos and photos. Dinner with extended family, birthdays, holidays, vacations are best opertunity to do this.

On top of this, I’d add, share the photos/videos with everyone there, (be it Facebook, Google photos, Whatsapp, Discord…). Same concept applies to you, that photos you have, aren’t lost to your digital vault when it’s your time.

Portable HD 2Tb is under $100. Well worth the investment. I committed on doing a good routine beginning of the year, (after putting it off for many years). Starting now is better than not at all.

Fair and honest poll. Good on them.
