- Comment on What is your cloud backup solution? 1 day ago:
The cheapest options I’ve found over the years are mostly black Friday sales on lifetime plans. Be careful who you trust, of course. There are lots of scammy ones out there, but there are also some reputable companies that have been around a good long while still offering lifetime plans. Check reviews before buying.
Over the years I’ve picked up cheap(ish) lifetime memberships with pCloud, Koofr, and Filen. I’ve already gotten my money’s worth out of them.
I use Borg to create encrypted backups on an external HD, and then I periodically sync that to cloud providers. I prefer E2EE services but it’s not a strict requirement for backups since Borg encrypts them anyway.
On Windows I recommend Kopia instead of Borg, at least until Borg gets an official stable windows build (planned for 2.0, currently in beta)
I exclude most things I could re-download like games and movies so 1TB covers my needs pretty well.

You can also just sync your files. Koreader, by default, stores metadata in the same folder as the epub file. If you sync the directory with something like Syncthing, then you don’t need a server.

Huh?
Okay, it’s been a very long time since I watched that movie, but as I recall, he very clearly died. I know they went on to bring him back to life a hundred different times in PIC, though. Is that what they meant?
