I just realized that this instance doesnt show downvotes seperately.. Probably not the best idea to have privacy guides on an instance where you cant easily see if something may be wrong..
I have about 25gb free out of the 1tb my laptop has, sooo not a good idea, plus it adds complexity. Well, I'll just improve my scripts and try to keep things tidied up so that it becomes easier. (Lol, now I'm post factory reset and I've started importing stuff back to the phone. Till tommorow noon everything may be set up.) Tnx for your interest!
As a side note, I've realized that transfering files from the phone to the laptop (instead straight to the external hard drive) makes the process a lot faster, compared to moving them to the drive directly, but still, I prefer the wireless transfer as I can sync folders easier and it's faster.
I'm transfering data from my phone to an extrernal hard drive which I connect to my laptop. To do the syncing a bit more automated, I've written some WinSCP scripts. I create a local hostpot with my phone, I connect my pc to it and then I move files. (My phone has a dual wifi antenna which allows to have both the hotspot on and connect to my wifi, so I can post this comment without using data.)
The data I transfer are ~all sorts of types; Media files (either from my camera folder or various other folders), text or similar files (I also keep logs of the files on my device to help me restore stuff), encrypted files, backups of apps+data/phone settings/contacts/sms/calls etc. At the moment of writing this I'm transfering about 30-40gb to my pc as I slowly prepare myself for the factory reset.
My workflow is far from automated, but I've made a lot of progress since last year with the help of the scripts.
It's sad though, because backing up and restoring everything now takes about 9hours, while with an sd card I could reduce it to something like half an hour... My next phone will probably be fairphone 6 or 7 in 2028 (now I have a xiaomi mi 10 running custom roms) if it has an sd card slot.
I have usb 2.0 though, so it's gonna be slow ~no matter what😭. I get ~15MB/s on average and it can reach ~40MB/s with wifi hotspot, while usb goes at about ~6MB/s on average and can reach about 30MB/s.
The issue are the small files. Wifi handles them much quicker. Especially listing folders with thousands of files. Opening my camera directory (~8.500 files) with wifi takes about 5seconds, while with usb it takes about ~1-2minutes....
About nas, I would too like to have one and automatically backup everything there. I might build one some time.
Simple, include sd cards on phones and use usb 3.0 or higher..
(I say that as I am about to wipe my device with ~200gb data and then import them back again through wifi hotspot because wired transfer is slower than wireless and it doesnt have an sd card slot...)
I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I'm using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)
Pierce the veil - King for a day (or check March into water)
Get scared - Sarcasm
Grim salvo - Black rainbow (one of the best songs, could be better if it didnt address women in a bad way twice..)

Paris Paloma - Labour
Falling in reverse - Popular monster OR Voices in my head OR Watch the world burn (beware; the singer is a rather bad person in my opinion, among others I think he also is a trabsphobe... such a shame cuz they make really good songs..)

I'd recomment checking listen brainz' tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.
If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local "cloud" service.
I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.
Add 3x1 "daily" widget, set view style to tile, change subtitle data to custom and paste this line on the field
$cuv$ $cps$ $ch$ $cv$ $0ss$ $0dp$ $1dp$
Been using breezy weather for a few moneths so far, I really like it. Im using the daily tile and the clock+daily 4x2 widgets (I have stacked them) and I get almost every info I want.
Well, can't argue much with that. It's a shame it crashes often.. I might check kdenlive some time though.
