Google reminds us that Google Chat can be used with friends and family
While Messages and RCS is how Google wants you to message friends, Google Chat also fits that role and the company today reminded us...
I'm more thinking about off-site backups that I don't have to manage. All of my family are out of town and not tech savvy, so even simple things can become tedious.
I do keep a 1:1 copy of everything from my Google Drive locally, I just like knowing that it wouldn't be lost in a fire (along with being able to use Google Photos on-the-go). I was considering something like Backblaze but haven't looked too much into it.
Yep, you can have Google Drive pull down data on a PC with Backblaze installed, which will then sync to an offsite location with the entire Google Drive data.
@cole@lemdro.id set something similar up recently IIRC
yeah I do incremental backups and also automate Google takeouts it is quite a robust setup
You know, maybe we should have a community for self hosting on here! There's quite a bunch of us into it, and given the nature of Lemmy, I'm sure a lot of folks would want to get their feet wet.
Definitely a solid idea. If you want to seed and mod, I can set it up tomorrow. Could be worth seeing if anyone from /r/selfhosted or similar are interested as well?
Yep, definitely. How do we get in touch with someone from r/selfhosted?
