Comment on Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster?

“personal” and “trustless” seem sort of at odds here. you want personal data, so you want personal storage.
what I recommend, if you have the time and energy, is to find another self-hoster you trust and be “backup buddies” with them. set up remote file storage on both your networks and send your backups to the other person’s server.
if you can’t find another self-hoster, then find a friend or family member you trust and mail them your backups on a physical disk.

Don’t forget to encrypt your backups before sending them, just in case… Better be safe than sorry

Problem is you need a way to decrypt that shit with memory loss and a burned down house.

You can encrypt using a memorable password you can remember.

Yeah, but that is gone if you literally forget it.
