I've worked for very large organizations (30k+ employees) that didn't use crappy paper.

All depends on the company.

Ooh, good Ole malicious compliance.

Make it a check.

Even better, pay with visa. The processing fee will be more than 23¢

You mean probably the most popular pics of her?

That was an extra, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sadly I think we'll have to take the water to them.

My current approach is building a media center for me, as a model for one I'll send to my siblings/friends.

Besides being a media center, it'll enable replication between them, with some backup services for laptops and phones. And some replacements for things like facebook/photo sharing, etc (and have a chat mechanism, most likely via XMPP).

And...it'll have something like PiHole that I'll manage centrally.

One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

For some reason you're "insert reason here" was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.

It's the difficulty, Plain and simple.

I knew in the late 90's what was coming, and have tried to minimize my own exposure, but family and friends just want the convenience.

I have a friend who specializes in network and data security and he uses all the privacy-invading garbage like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, because "it's convenient". 🤦🏼

We need a simple, seamless solution to provide the features people want.

We have some of these things in Freedombox, CasaOS, and some OSS solutions, etc, but these are all beyond the skills of the average user. They're even a big challenge for me, because I'm busy.

Though I'm working on a single-box solution for my family, and which provides backup to each other, media server, phone backup (mostly photos and videos), etc.

It's pretty hard to do when phones are resistant to third party solutions.

Right?

$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I've used for a decade.
