My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go. What's yours?

I hate cloud based services. I don't want to be reliant on and send my data to someone else's computer. Give me local control and local data storage or get off my grass!

I've actually begun DIYing a syncthing based mesh of my devices plus a NAS I'll make from an old ThinkPad because honestly, fuck those cloud services.

I used to love the cloud, I saw it as really convenient, but now I just see it as a pretty ok way to back up all my old school work, plus OneDrive screaming at me to sign in, then automatically signing me in without asking...

Sure the DIY NAS I'm making is just an old ThinkPad 11e school laptop's board and battery, and some USB to m.2 dongles, but it'll be pretty damn good for a net cost of probably 100 bucks total
