Dullsters
Inspired by the Dull Men’s Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I checked my backup drives, too!
I still don't have them.
Uh oh!
Good news, you can use someone else's. Backblaze is pretty cheap. It adds up to about $5USD per Terrabyte, and it's pro-rated. So 500GB is $2.50,etc.
Hetzner recently introduced some S3 compatible object storage, too.
Object Storage and "S3" are just ways to refer to a certain type of system. To interact with it, you just need tools that have S3 support built in.
Restic is fantastic. If you'd like some help coming up with the command to use, let me know.
Pretty much every popular backup solution supports S3 type storage.
Anyway, backups are good.
Better than some cloud leech service, there are tools you can use to back up your hard drive onto a friend's spare space (and vice versa if you want) so that you're both protected without added clowd fees.
