Use Cryptomator. You can then use any cloud storage provider knowing they can't read your files.

Or just don't use cloud storage bruh

it's good for 3-2-1 backup rule though. but you can also ask a relative or a friend to let you plug a NAS to their router.

Just encrypt the backup instead of keeping track of the encryption for every file?

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Why not? It's another useful area to use as a backup.

Not always an option.

We use windows at work, which is annoying as a software developer, and I WFH three days a week. I need some files available on both machines and cloud is the best option. I’m not about to be taking a flash drive between home and work.

Don't you use git?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

We use it on Azure, but I don’t always want some files in version control. I might just want things for myself to share across both machines.

Plus I really don’t care what Microsoft is or isn’t tracking on my work machines. If my company is satisfied with us using everything Microsoft then who am I to complain.

For reference on what we use of Microsoft:

  • Azure for Git, BlobStorage, hosting, database storage, etc
  • Office Suite - never imagined I would work so much on excel as a dev, but every project so far has required reading from or writing to excel.
  • Visual Studio Professional
  • C# .net and entity framework
  • Typescript mainly with React
  • Teams
  • One drive
  • CoPilot integration in Visual Studio Professional, which saves countless hours in writing code, as it learns your standards. It’s like Intellisense on steroids.
  • SQL Server Management Studio

There’s probably more that I can’t think of right now. We have an honourable mention of GraphQL as a wrapper for our API.

I use syncthing, which works great unless you need a ton of space.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

We have a list of approved software we can install and that isn’t one of them.

Syncthing is a piece of crap.
