What happens when your machine in "le cloud" shits the bed?

Are you going to roll back your virtual machine to a snapshot & lose all your fucking data since the last snapshot? Or are you just going to back up your data elsewhere & redownload every time your machine shits the bed? Why not just back up your fucking user data then? What's the difference?

Your idea is basically "I want someone else to own my computer, I just want access to it".

Cuck.

I guess it's cuck thinking but the convenience has to be considered. Also now that you mention it, an automated snapshot system in the cloud provider is another advantage.

Just locally encrypt your data and use any one of the billion "cloud" services.

Agreed to everything else, but this is dumb. His whole point is to outsource the backup to the (((cloud operator))). Clouds go overkill on backups, odds of you losing access to your data are lower than winning the lottery. Odds of someone else getting a copy of the data though, are a different matter.

Anyways, shit thread. How is making backups hard? And if you deleted all your badgoy and sensitive data as you'd have to if using a cloud, you would have hardly anything left to backup anyway.

Clouds don't usually cope too well with a 100 GB encrypted volume, since it interferes with partial sync. Wish there was a filesystem especially for clouds that anonymizes file names too.

>what is encrypted rclone with encrypted filenames

I've been using an unlimited Google drive education account for years, nothing's happened. Google cannot see my data, the only thing they see is my IP and the amount I download.

This would be a good research paper if one for this doesn't already exist.

>>1022261 (OP)

There is no cloud, just other people's computers.

tbh, shouldn't be too difficult is there was a will on the part of an operator to do so.

Why would a cloud operator do that? Stealing data is where they make money.
