> How many times does stuff like this have to happen before people stop trusting the cloud (i.e., someone else's computer) as the only place where data they care about lives? Most of the people don't have viable alternatives to this. I've actually written about some ways how you supposedly can do backups of your own data in relatively simple ways: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/simple-ways-to-do-backups https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/simple-ways-to-do-backups And yet, almost all of my IRL friends don't do backups. They don't care, or don't have the time/knowledge for redundancy of their data. So, for most of them, using Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever is going to be a far more reliable way of storing their data, seeing as very few people get banned from these platforms and lose everything. I am yet to meet someone else in person who has their own Nextcloud or ownCloud instance running. Even if they cared to do that, once again, for the majority of average people out there working with servers is out of the question, somehow everyone knows how to use a smartphone but not how to install Debian on an old PC and run a Docker image (at least without setting a bad password for the database and accidentally exposing it to the world).
