I love how I can customize my PC/VPS (Linux), and I feel truly at home. I hate smartphones (iPhone and Android). I hate it how limited I am in configuring them, and it’s a PITA to make sure it all syncs with my main computer.

Why isn’t it much more common to just use our phones as little windows/gateways to our actual computers? Using something like VCN? Internet speeds should be fast enough?

We could even build a little interface that makes it easier to navigate?

    That’s a fair solution.

    I’ve just got remote devices syncing to my local server. From there Borg handles encrypted historical backups of that server which can be sent offline/offsite.

    I like borg because of its insane de-duplication and compression algorithms. I’ve currently got ~480GB of data being backed up, with 16 historical copies going back 6 months: that entire archive takes up 303GB of space currently. Without the de-duplication and compression that’s 7.76TB of data.
