From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This won't work for you because it's not enough space, but other people might consider paying money to a place like SDF. I think it was $3 a month (IIRC) for 800 GB of space, and it's for a good cause.
I use rsync and gocryptfs to back my stuff up there. I also have local hard drives for backups.
Maybe there's another pubnix that you can pay to get more storage.
Back in the day, I had local hard drives that I would mirror and sneakernet to my friend's house every couple weeks. We'd trade drives and then we'd have an off-site.
If I weren't using SDF, I'd probably set up a home server someplace or talk to a friend who already had one and rsync to that.
seconding SDF. they’ve also got great resources such as a cool mastodon server/lemmy/etc. the unix shell is neat too
