  • Zeroth, consider GrapheneOS on that Pixel.

    First, Syncthing on the PC and Syncthing-Fork. Now you can sync (and anything else) your photo files from phone to PC and vice versa. Congrats, you have photo storage backup.

    Second, either a vpn to your home network so you can backup on the road, or Immich (as elsewhere suggested) for your own google photos experience.

    Third, whichever of second you didn’t choose.

    Fourth, get ye an offsite backup (search 3-2-1 backup). rclone is your friend, but encrypt first locally with Cryptomator, then you don’t have to trust your storage provider.

    Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.
