I never want to lose photos I've taken over the years. What's the best solution to make sure they're saved?

I have a Synology server. I have an external drive. I have an extra 2TB drive on my PC. I have two large storage thumb drives. I have a Google photos account. I have an Instagram, I have a pixelfed account. I have a drop box account. I have a mega account. They all hold my photos. Do you want more? 😂

Some sort of order. Chronological will do, but maps are also nice
