Thanks for the tip—this looks super useful and straightforward. What I’m unsure about is what happens when there’s no WAN connection for a while. Ideally, the NAS should keep backing things up locally, then update OneDrive once the internet is back, with versioning preserved. But that sounds tricky—OneDrive or the NAS has to be the “source of truth.” And if it’s the NAS, what happens if you’re away from both LAN and WAN? #onedrive #wan #lan #nas #synology

Had the "fortune" of setting up a brand new #Windows11 notebook.

I really can not understand why people use #Win11.

Requires a #Microsoft-account which enables all this #cloud stuff. Enabled #OneDrive by default. 🤦‍♂️

Nags constantly to enable some data stealing features just "for improving stuff" - of course. 🙄

Needs 5+ reboots just to install the system updates after initial booting and you still have to ignore a lot of irritating warnings and errors that vanish miraculously.

To my surprise, there isn't even a "keep my battery at 80% max"-features which even is available on smartphones as well as with Linux/GNOME. 🤷

I would not call that a "professional" system at all.

Afgelopen vrijdag werd een zogenaamde #ZeroDayExploit ontdekt in #Microsoft #SharePoint. De kwetsbaarheid stelt hackers in staat om volledige controle te krijgen over de getroffen servers van SharePoint, inclusief software die daarmee verbonden is, zoals #Teams en #OneDrive.

@sjvn Do you see #Google Drive in the same light? Remember, anything stored in Google Drive is basically Googles to use to advertise to you. Working in an organization, I see the clear benefits of #OneDrive User had their laptop stolen out of their car, but they didn't lose anything. You know, why, it was all backed up OneDrive. All they had to do was sign in and files synced.

EDIT - Thanks for all the excellent suggestions so far, all of which I'm considering as part of a possible solution:

Just go to Linux already!

Why not strip back to a plain text editor?

Syncthing can handle the cloud-like mirroring without the cloud copy.

Borg and KBackup both handle the version management flexibly (as can Powershell scripts).

A file system with snapshots could do the heavy lifting.

Papyrus is a (paid) solution suiting authors.

------------------------

Looking for solutions for automated file backup and versioning for less technical person on Windows or Linux.

My wife writes novels. She's has been using #Word on #Windows with autosave and #OneDrive for backup.

But Word is bloated and getting worse, she keeps hitting conflicted-version issues on ~100K word documents, and Microsoft is Microsoft.

So, she's ready to move to #LibreOffice and probably #Linux, but she needs a near-bulletproof way to keep having her documents backed up as she writes.

I’m inclined to set her up as follows, but would like any better suggestions:

* All documents autosaved by LibreOffice #Writer to a folder without any cloud backup

* Python program runs every 10 minutes and copies any changed files to timestamped versions in a history folder that is synced automatically to #pCloud (or similar privacy-oriented backup)

* Program also prunes previous versions, keeping last few and some increasingly diffuse ones from earlier times and dates

* Program also maintains a copy of the history folder on a compact USB drive

This should address the main risk of file corruption, work even when offline, maintain a cloud copy and have a belt-and-braces local backup too. It should avoid the conflicted-version issue when saving the master copy. If some versioned copies are invalid, it’s not a big deal.

Does this make sense? Is it stupid? Is there a better well-written archival/versioning tool that does all this?

#evernote habe ich viele Jahre beruflich genutzt. Nun brauche ich es nur noch privat und bin gerade dabei, alles nach #onenote zu migrieren - auch um Geld zu sparen. Erstaunlich, wie viel Daten man in die 5 GB kostenlosen #OneDrive so kriegt.
Aber vor der Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Cloud-Anbietern wird gewarnt. Seht Ihr das auch so? Oder habt Ihr doch noch andere Empfehlungen? Besonders ein WebClipper für #Firefox ist mir wichtig. Bitte #Retweet für mehr Reichweite #cloudspeicher

Haha this conversation with lawyers is so wild I don't even find time to post here about it.

So, I asked them how it's legal under the 's Art 5(2) data cross-use prohibition to automatically sign up Windows users with and thereby sharing my personal data (login credentials) with the service.

The lawyers confirmed that this is what they do and argued strangely this was legal because "there are many ways to sign in to Windows". Local accounts anyone? 🤥
