I don't have any pics there I'd mind losing, but for those who do, how is this not extortion?

It's not extortion because you willfully gave your rights away by using someone else's service.

Tired of getting fucked over? Host your own stuff. It only gets worse from here on out.

The solution under capitalism is to always own more things.

You can even just get a raspberry pi, install openmedia vault. Get a 2tb external hard drive, and just do it that way without worrying about this type of shit. It isn't hard to setup either.

which is better openmediavault or nextcloud

[–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I have no experience with next cloud. But for me, openmedoavault is fine. I've had no issues with it, other than basic ones, and setting up can be a bit tedious, but just read guides. Also, separately powered drives may be better. But I can't say anything about that.
