> high reliability
For pictures of my family, yes that high reliability is worth it, I don't want to permanently lose a single photo because of a hardware or software failure. I backup my dropbox to s3 via Arq and also have a IFTTT that pushes photos to the free TB of space flickr gives everyone.
- Fuxy 12y agoYou have a backup on every device you choose to sync and if one of these devices happens to be a server with a copy-on-write file system like btrfs[1] i find it very unlikely you will ever loose those files to corruption or a single point of failure.

And really of all that sounds like a lot of work to set up and maintain for the near zero chance that some government type wants to spy on me to look at harmless and boring pictures of my pets and family.
