I'm backing up my data to my VPS with DigitalOcean
I've been itching to back up my important data for a while now, but I've been unsure about what service I should use. For a while I've been using Google Drive, but I'm trying to move away from Google because of their invasive surveillance. (This is also why I recently purchased a used Pixel 6a and loaded grapheneOS onto it). I started using a Proton mail account about a year ago and it's been nothing but good. They have equivalents for a lot of the Google services I use ()
I've three projects that I'm excited to share: I backed up my data to an off site server with syncthing, I created a dns level ad blocker + vpn for all my personal devices, and I switched to grapheneOS on a Pixel 6a. I'm also looking to move to elementaryOS on my desktop.
