Or they could, you know, fix notifications in Android's Hangouts app.
> Is there currently human technology that does anything similar to this?
Steganography. Not "background", in the sense that images are generally considered useful, but it is hiding information in a place that a casual onlooker would not think to look.
> Encryption is applied on the data layers not to hide that something is being transmitted, but what is being transmitted.
That's exactly why this encryption would be strong. Initially, no one thinks to look for signals that don't look like signals.

I'm a PHP web developer with past Python experience. I'm looking for a place to work that is serious about their business goal. In return, I'll work hard to help them reach that goal.
Blockchain! But seriously, I'd do a rewritable optical media, a flash drive, and a spinning drive. I'd do checksums on existing data any time you write to it to ensure nothing has been lost. I'd also do some sort of versioning at each write and actually keep a full copy of the data before the write. That last part could get unwieldy if your data grows over a lot time.
And I would double each storage media and keep one set off site.
This is all a little much for anything less than a "I NEVER can lose this data" requirement.
I specialize in CakePHP and Django web development, but I'm always interested in branching out. I have a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I like having a challenging side-project going at all times, currently http://redreader.co.
The problem with pains and solving them is that if you know how to solve them, then you do so and they're no longer pains. This happens quite often and we likely forget that they were pains to begin with and thus don't value the solution as a potentially commercial product. If you don't know how to solve them, then you have no product either.
I guess the real advice would be to pay attention to the pains you have solved.
I feel like the more we talk about it, the more everyone becomes desensitized to the U.S. surveillance problem. Then we get the public at large just rolling their eyes and saying "Oh, another paranoid lunatic wants to take over the government".
I want to do more than just like stuff on facebook... hopefully this will present something more tangible. I signed up for the "Add a banner to your site" list. I can tell ~15k visitors about this over the next month at least.
Previous backup method:
1. Back up working dir (~1.5 GB) daily with rsync to Raspberry Pi.
2. Back up encrypted archives of photos/videos monthly to mega.co.nz and external drive, and back up new photos/videos during month with #1 above.
New back up method:
1. Back up everything with Deja Dup to $25/year, 50GB VPS daily - I don't have a lot of data.
2. Back up everything with Deja Dup to external drive monthly (maybe going to weekly).
Edit:
All photos are resized monthly with a script to create a ~100KB copy that lives on my laptop and phone. I can see all photos I've ever taken on my phone, but still have the full-res copy backed up.
Nice and mellow, but not boring.
