[ale] Best Offsite Backup Solution for Home

[Jim Kinney]

I have found it far less stressful and much more affordable to redefine the
definition of "vital data". I'm down to car titles, passports, cash, and a
laminated picture of the kids that's fairly recent.

all the rest of this crampooter stuff can go rot. If it crashes, I wasn't
interested in it anyway. I'll go play elsewhere while the new OS installs.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
