Comment on Searching advice for selfhosting critical data
hamsda@lemm.ee 13 hours agoGoogle is evil but I know that GDrive has pretty low prices on data storage […] Don’t forget to encrypt everything when uploading to these services!
That is what I am hoping for :) My free Google account grants me 15GB of online storage and my free Microsoft account provides me with another 5GB. The 15 GB should be enough for encrypted photo backups, while 5GB definitely is enough for encrypted calendar, contact and probably some document backups. I just need to find a way to automate backups to these.

If I am going to pay money for something and with how the world currently is, I’m going to use some EU based service. My only VPS resides at hetzner, if the need arises I will probably just add a storage volume to my VPS or upgrade it to the next tier.

Got it! Sadly, hetzner doesn’t have the best prices on storage

Yeah, hetzner’s more about having your own servers than providing cheap storage.

Eh, you can have your own servers with many other providers…
A storage server is still a server. No need to be elitist

I didn’t intend to be elitist about anything and I actually fail to see the elitism by saying “that hoster is not about providing cheap storage”? Maybe there’s something in the english language I do not pickup on?
