I get what you’re saying in general, but I’m not sure why Bush Sr gets put in the same category. Sure there was a recession and scandal or two, but these were pretty minor overall, and it was followed soon after by one of the most successful economic periods in US history, it’s hard to argue his presidency was a disaster, and in the same context as Bush Jr and Trump

Trying to identify commonality and give it names just throws away most of the information in each unique and special experience

A full poo bag

Sure but every tree you plant takes up space and there is a limit how much you can do this. Unless you then farm them and store th carbon long term somehow

Well I think she amount of caution is still appropriate no matter how much you manage to secure the local machine

Yes that sounds like pull backups, which is worth exploring

That’s an interesting idea

Yep offline backups are useful, although it does require remembering & making the effort to do it each time

Certainly sounds relevant, although overall it is quite a different approach than in currently using

For doing snapshots did that means the local system identifies the changes? Or it all gets copied each time?

Yes that seems like one way to go. Although I am using rsync so maybe keeping the files in place and changing owner could be an option

That’s some good suggestions and a few things I hadn’t considered. A VPN is also possible, although setting up the port forwarding might be a bit more complicated
