I feel like I have a fairly solid backup system for all of my important files. They are protected against elementary disasters and cyber attacks alike.
However the only thing I struggle with are my phone photos. I recently caved in and started using iCloud Photos due to the convenience of having all my phone photos alwas available, searchable and tagged, even if the library size exceeds my phone‘s capacity.
Does anyone know a reliable and automatable way to back up this iCloud photo library on a self hosted server?
They at least offer local network syncing, instead of requiring a cloud account (which is a deal breaker for me). This lets you keep your passwords in sync between your Computer (master) and mobile devices without them ever leaving your home.
All that does of course still require trust in the company, but at least not in their cloud infrastructure and, well, the internet...
Coming from Sketchup and being a Software Engineer, parametric design in FreeCAD is a game changer for me.
For example being able to define a cabinet side length as the outdoor dimension minus twice the side panel thickness allows you to decide wood thicknesses after finishing the design without redoing everything.
However, FreeCAD seems to be highly unstable on macOS and Retina screens are not supported very well.
