Uggh, feel bad for them.

I’ve tried for years to get friends and family to have their data sit in a single point in the house and use backup services. That would be a massive improvement.

Family won’t listen, so I’m building minicomputers for them all that will handle it. Just have to configure their devices to store data there.

Just a friendly word of caution:

if they don’t appreciate what you’re telling them to do, … and if the minis you’re building fail to do some magic data protection that they / you hadn’t thought about… it’ll be your “fault”

They need to take some ownership

  Oh, agreed.
  
  There’s some other stuff at play with the minis (shared family photos, backup to each other, etc) that I’m going to use as an enticement to get them to learn to use these tools.
  
  Once they learn that, I can slip in some other things, piecemeal, depending on what each person clicks with.
