"It is unfortunate that Rob [Kroese] has made BasedCon so intentionally provocative," writes Carmack. "I told him as much after the event last year, I felt a little uncomfortable.  There is a demographic that welcomes the in-your-face posturing, but it drives away sympathetic people that would otherwise be happy to talk about craft, stories, and technology."

"Even when someone gives you a clear signal, it is a mistake to extrapolate it to an entire constellation of beliefs and behaviors, and then to assume they are contagious by association.  That shortchanges a lot of people."

"I’m not a culture warrior, and I don’t want to strike blows against anyone. I don’t follow activists on either side, including Rob, because I tend to think that all the negativity and resentment is detrimental to both the author and target."

Syncthing for synchronization between devices, then rsync to a couple of flash drives for cold backup.

The setup is so easy, you don't even need a server for this, just your ordinary PC.

There is no more paranoid solution than owning your files on the devices you own as well, so you never have to trust the third party.

Additionally, clunky all-in-one self-hosted solutions like Nextcloud bind you to their ecosystem, so it may be hard for you to switch to another one.

Just a plain file backup to your own storage will always be a savior for your lost data, regardless of third party apps or infrastructure.

You can export all your already enctypted notes to the plain markdown files without encryption, so Joplin can be very easy switched to another app

But still, you can do it with Obsidian because of lack of encryption.

If you turn off encryption in Joplin, you can edit any of your markdown notes in any another app without export - like Obsidian.

Just use Syncthing with your trusted host

"Gas station country"

Yes. Space exploration and further colonization is the only possibility for humankind to survive after politicians and military will nuke the Earth to stone age, so we need to preserve our species.
