Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone?

Hi. I am currently using google drive mounted with rsync (encrypted) to stream files over my VPS since my VPS provider charges a lot for extra storage compared to google. I have offline backups of the said data at home I currently have a 100GB google drive plan and it's working suprisingly great. Also it's cheap in my country due to regional pricing Now, as I learned, Google keeps your files for 2 years after you cancel your extra storage subscription. It also doesn't allow you to upload anything which locks up Gmail but that doesn't matter if it's an alt account. So, can I just create an alt account, buy a 1 month subscription, upload everything, cancel it, then read it using rclone? Does Google restrict api access (for rclone) on drives with expired subscriptions? Yeah I know I'm stretching this a bit too far but I just wanna know

I'm making an "enshittification survival guide" and I need help

Hi there. My guide is currently hosted at [survival.aesistril.com](https://survival.aesistril.com). I wrote some stuff but it's really hard to write every guide by myself. My goal is to create a easy to follow guides for the average joe and compile every other guide into one web page. I want to be able to link this whenever a relative or a friend asks me how to get rid of x Name and URL suggestions (under .aesistril.com subdomain) are welcome. I am currently using open source hardware icon because it looks cool I am using the CGA color palette and I would appreciate if you don't use any other colors. Not a strict restriction though Source code is [here](https://github.com/Aesistril/ensh-survival-guide) on GitHub. Pull requests, markdown guides, docx, txt, every type of contribution or constructive criticism is appreciated

[Discussion] Threads and Tumblr are working on implementing Activitypub. How do you think this will affect fediverse

Maybe this could be a positive thing for newbies since now mastodon instances can federate with Tumblr and Threads to become more viable Or could it bring destruction? Just like what happened with XMPP and OpenID

Different themes hacked together with sed to match the color scheme https://github.com/Aesistril/dracula-neon

General Discussion yogurtwrong • Now • 86%

Stop posting meta, discussion and text posts in meme communities. There are other places for that

There are more general conversation posts than shitposts in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.ml If you wanna discuss about something just post it on the appropriate discussion community, not in !memes@lemmy.ml Half of the """fun""" stuff is extremely depressing. Can someone explain to me how an overused meme about "Big corporations are destroying our world, stealing our wealth and you can't do anything about it" is "fun" I don't wanna sound like a dopamine addict or a "Commies ruined my Lemmy" type of guy because I'm really not. I would happily take part in these discussions if they were posted on !politics I just don't wanna get reminded of these things while I'm just lurking around and trying to empty my head Only !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone knows how to post properly but even they suffer those same things and they are still not as great as r/196 from Reddit before it was closed Again my complaints are not about the content, it's great but rather it's about how nothing is categorized properly. If I wanna have fun and laugh a bit I don't wanna get interrupted by doomer posts and if I wanna get serious and discuss something I want an actual discussion post and not the comment section of a meme

My little brother loves the dualboot setup I installed for him. He says "It's like iOS"

My brother is 12 and just like other people of his age he can't use a computer properly because he is only familiar with mobile devices and dumbed-down computers I recently dual-booted Fedora KDE and Windows 10 on his laptop. Showed him Discovery and told him, "This is the app store. Everything you'll ever need is here, and if you can't find something just tell me and I'll add it there". I also set up bottles telling him "Your non-steam games are here". He installed Steam and other apps himself I guess he is a better Linux user than Linus Sebastian since he installed Steam without breaking his OS... The tech support questions and stuff like "Can you install this for me?" or "Is this a virus?" dropped to zero. He only asks me things like "What was the name of PowerPoint for Linux" once in a while After a week I have hardly ever seen my brother use Windows. He says Fedora is "like iOS" and he absolutely loved it I use Arch and he keeps telling me "Why are you doing that nerdy terminal stuff just use Fedora". He also keeps explaining to me why Fedora better than my "nerd OS"
