I like your suggestion! I have a Proxmox server running. I'm I right to understand that rclone or duplicati take care of the file encryption? This would mean no easy way to access files in your backup, but I don't see that as a problem

I'm running it on my NAS. I would like a non local backup of my files.

Encrypting the files not really an option for me. I backup the photos but simultaneously they are used in PhotoPrism for collection, meta data changes, etc. Or I need to think about adopting another workflow...

Thanks for your view. Not sure how other providers take care of file encryption, but in the way I want to use it encrypting the files myself is not an option.

Thanks, should have looked there of course, but I'm interested in personal experiences as well.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have protonmail (paid) and I think I have 500GB storage space currently. Unfortunately that is insufficient space, because I'm going towards the 1TB. I'll have a look at the other plans, perhaps they offer more space :)

Sure go ahead! I was always interested in the technical side which made me pursue the route with adapters and different types of lenses. I hope you find what makes you happy :)

I started out with an entree level DSLR camera from Canon. I choose Canon because there are so many cheap lenses available, second hand but also from third parties, like Tamron, Sigma and Rokinon. I just tried different lenses, but also things like a reversal ring or extension tube, m42 adapter, polarizer filters and many other things. That is how I rolled into astro photography, whereas nowadays I'm more into bird photography. My advice, just play around and experience what you like the best. Expensive gear is oftentimes not the answer.

I make photo albums of a selection of all the photos I take and then show it to anyone who wants to see it. During holidays I also take video, and then combine those clips with photos into a home video. I have printed some photos to hang on the wall, so my home is filled with my own photos. I have some as desktop wallpaper. Lately, I make theme photo albums. I have one with all the different birds I have photographed and one with all my prettiest photos.

And add a Youtube shorts block while you're at it.

There is an add on, and it works well! Firefox add-on

I have 3x Eco-Dim.07 installed. Connected to Zigbee2MQTT and never skipped a beat. I'm very happy with them. My partner complains that when the light is dimmed it makes her nauseous because of the flickering. However, I think that has to do with the either the bulb type or dimming technique. Let me know if you want to know more!
