Debian-based custom built thing. Nothing special.

I have no such advice. I use a Linux basedd NAS myself.

What are those categories/apps?

Seems you also use a bit of freeBSD in your setup besides Linux. Still FOSS though!

 

I'm on Android and use automatic backups. At the moment it runs daily starting at night. I use syncthing to sync the backups to my NAS. It works well.

Since my chat history almost weigh in at 10 GB I'd like to decrease the frequency to lessen the burden on the NAND in my phone.

Is it possible to automatically make backups less often than daily?

 

The Internet was concieved decades ago. In hindsight, many bad design choices were made. Given what was known at the time it's still blows my mind how well it has aged. There are some

Hypothetical scenario: what design choices would we change security wise if we had the opportunity to redesign the Internet from scratch today? Or to tackle the problem the other way around: what are the bad design choices for Internet security that we are stuck with today, unfixible without starting over?

 

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no control over it what so ever.

I see many dangers as the data model is trained on biometric data and possibly could be used to recreate my voice. Of course I understand that there probably are other recordings on the Internet of me, enough to recreate my voice, but that's beside the point. Also the question is about educating them, not a legal one.

How do I present my case? I'm not willing to use a non local AI transcribing my voice. I don't want to be percieved as a paranoid nut case. Preferravly I want my bosses and collegues to understand the privacy concerns and dangers of using a "cloud sollution". Unfortunately thay are totally ignorant to the field of technology and the explanation/examples need to translate to the lay person.

Bad but expected given that they are Chinese based. I use several of their cameras but only after kepping them isolated from the Internet and segmented from the rest of my network. I only access the streams from my NAS which in turn access the camera streams from a dedicated NIC.

Sorry I really don't follow what you wrote in that comment. Can you write something coherent and with references to sources?

What is the problem with GrapheneOS?

As a medical doctor I strongly object to this. Generics are tightly regulated. The substance is the same. What can vary is the binding materials and alike. In very, very rare cases a patient can be allergic to a substance that is specific to a certain brand (and not part of the active substance). This has happened to me only twice. In some countries anticonvusants are the exception where generics aren't used, but that is not practiced everywhere.

Understandable but bad since all newer Windows versions are really heavy on telemetry and privacy hostile practices.

Of course I use Linux but I don't live in a bubble and see that most people won't switch in the near future.

Everywhere possible. For SSH sessions, logins on the Internet. PGP and chat apps. All the time.

Nothing really. You pay with your time by going to Linux but the effort is getting lower both because of me getting better but mostly the experience won't compare with 20 yeara ago.since the non FOSS alternatives are getting more telemtry/call home functions rhe choice is an easy one.

Used to use Windows 98 SE. First introduced to Mandrake Linux around 2000. Had no Internet, got the install media from a friend of my father. Barely got it working and couldn't read English. Went back to Windows XP. Ubuntu came. Began to use it around 2008 for a few years. Back to windows briefly and then Raspberry Pi was launched. Switched to Linux permanently.

Almost went back in 2013 due to Lightroom, gaming and a few work related medical software.

Began to grasp FOSS maturely in 2014 and switched to alterbative software. When Steam launched Proton there was no turning back.

I was obsessed but it has come and gone. Now I'm a bit of a nuissance to friends sllwly switching them to alternative software. My partner gets the worst treatment. Now she uses hardware security keys, assymetric keys auth etc
