  • Yep, it’s heartbreaking. I accidentally did a full format of an HDD that had pictures of my friend who had died on it and a bunch of other stuff from the prior ~10 years. My heart sunk when I realised that I hadn’t backed up the folder beforehand. I now have a physical backup in a box, my drives are a raid 1 and I have most of the important stuff in OneDrive, which is handy if I get any crypto malware that encrypts all my data, because it has revision history. I’m not going to get caught out like that again.

    But at the same time, I’m going to carry the photos on my phone over to my next phone too.



  • I have like 71gb of pictures on my phone (50k pics) and I like it that way, why would I delete them? For them to sit on my PC or in the cloud never to be looked at again?

    I often go through photos on my phone, it’s like a history of the last few years and I find myself scrolling back to find a picture at least once a week.

    I could use the cloud service but it’d take so long loading the thumbnails that it’s completely pointless.

    “why do you put these photos on the wall? You’d be devastated if someone stole them, you should rather keep them in a box under your bed” that’s a dumb take.
