  • Borg is a backup program not a synchronizer. Backing up to mutliple targets just means running a normal backup to target 1, then another to target 2, etc. Maybe what you really want is git. There are also some self-hosted multi-access notepad programs, sort of like how google docs work. Anyway if your problem requires a server or synchronization, look into self-hosting rather than some cloud thing.

  • It's hard to understand what you want. Why multiple devices? Why remote storage? Why not just use your laptop with local storage and encrypted backups? If you must have remote storage, why not self-host it on a cheap VPS? Just who are you trying to protect your data from? It's a lot different if you think Trump is after you or something like that: you have to check your bed for microphones, rather than just worrying about your computer software.

    So far I'm satisfied with just using my laptop for personal files, but if I were more paranoid I'd set up a separate laptop with no internet and take some additional precautions besides that. Anyway, the more machines you use, the more potential security holes you have to deal with.

    Multiple backups is just a matter of running a script that backs up to more than one place, right? I use Borg for backup, and pointing it to multiple targets is pretty easy.

  • "...the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company.

    "Business Insider called out the event, which has been hitting the stock indexes of some major players over the last couple of weeks as tariff trouble has hit just about everyone. Tesla is just the latest to see the symbol of bearishness, which occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.x

  • 500 Euro for what amounts to a midrange phone still seems like yuppie consumerism to me. Better to get an older phone and hold onto it. My Moto G4 lasted 7 years before obsolescence and physical wear caught up with it. I wonder how many current Fairphones will still be in use in 2034.

  • I don't think that Pixels (made by Google) are designed to sidestep Android ;). Unfortunately, what you're asking can't really be done because of the vast hardware incompatibilities between brands of Android phones and between generations of them.

    The best privacy option ironically seems to be GrapheneOS, which runs on Pixels, as alluded to above. You can get older Pixels pretty cheap. They aren't my favorite phones but I sometimes consider doing that.

  • Yeah a buddy of mine (not rich) has one and seems to like it. It's the big style not the Moto Razr style. It's like two normal sized smartphones folded together, so when you open it you get a big roughly square screen about 6 inches on a side. About 2x the area of a normal phone screen. It's a Samsung, idk what model or what it cost. It looks nice. No idea about fragility. If you have a question I can relay it to him.

  • You can get that much ram for 5k but maybe not in the densest modules. So you need a mobo with 2x as many socke5, raising costs again. I might look into it but I have trouble thinking of applications that can use so much ram. 256gb is quite easy to do and is also a lot.

  • Last I saw you had to use super premium ultra dense memory modules to get 1tb into a motherboard. Maybe that's less so now. But the hope would be to use commodity ram and CPUs etc. 10k for a 1tb system is pretty good. Last I looked it was a lot more.

  • There are few motherboards with enough dram channels to handle a TB of dram. That's basically why ram drives existed back in the day, and they are still potentially sort of relevant for the same reason. No a TB of ram wouldn't fit on an m.2 card, but a box of ram with a pcie connector is still an interesting idea. Optane also aimed for this, but it never got enough traction to be viable, so it was scrapped.
