What do you do with the time you save by typing “cuz” instead of “because”?

How do I do this? Is it explained in the user’s manual?

You forgot to take your memory pills.

I will be using an external hard drive for the backup.

This might be the solution I’m looking for.

I found it on buyapi.ca but they no longer sell it. The site shows:

3.5inch HDMI LCD, 480x320, IPS Unfortunately this product is no longer for sale so it cannot be reordered.

If you search for “HDMI LCD” you’ll find some similar displays. buyapi.ca

Thank you. The tank you are recommending seems to be of a better quality than the one lomography sells.

Hopefully gphoto2 will run in this. It would make a less bulky intervalometer than the one I built with a raspberry pi and an attachable display.

I would rather have all synchronized data on external drives. Would syncthing allow me to work on USB hard drives?

I might have a misconception of what back up is.

Right before writing this, I used an ipad to take a picture of one of my cats. That ipad has the filen, nextcloud, and sync apps. I added the same photo to a test folder on each of the services I just mentioned. I can see the picture in the test folder of each service on my desktop.

Those are all free accounts, yes. I am not a paying customer yet. If that is not a backup, I don't know what to call it.

Thank you. I am reading their Q&A forum, realizing that the price of what I intend to do will be blood and tears. That's fine. We like it that way.

In which way do you plan to transfer your photos to the backup storage?

The pictures I currently have and want to save are on an external hard drive and on proton drive. Any (future) pictures I take are:

• sent to proton drive from my iphone, or
• transferred from the camera's SD card to my computer and then added to proton drive using firefox.

Because proton does not have a Linux app, the problem with this workflow is that I need to download every picture I want to edit, and then upload it back to proton.

The options I have are:

• switch to windows (that is never going to happen).

• switch to mac (I am temped, but the idea of having to buy a new computer every two years because they become obsolete bothers me a little).

• stay on Linux and use nextcloud on an iphone, an ipad, a dell optiplex 7010 and a toshoba satellite (both with 4Gb RAM).

In the picture I can see a camera and I assume it uses an SD card

That was just a picture of the RPi4 I want to use for this project. Back in 2020 I ran gphoto2 on it and used it as an intervalometer.

Your suggested setup would allow two hard drives to be synchronized, but the web archive (proton) would still need constant downloads and uploads.

Free filen and nextcloud accounts have allowed me to do what I want... take a picture with the phone, upload it, edit it on that service's folder, see the changes on every other device.

On the bright side, nobody yelled at you. 434 comments (and counting).

It is an advantage that she doesn’t care if the pictures end up “good” or “bad”, “pretty” or “ugly”.

Thanks for your reply. I do have the eventual video taken in between pictures. The way this is going, I might back up 1 or 2 Gb at first, to see how it all works out.

The backup is on an external hard drive. I wouldn't trust an SD card for this. Thanks.

Thanks. You are correct, they are the same thing. What I meant was the OS needs an upgrade.
