Hello. I was wondering, what's the most private and secure cloud storage option right now.

My use case is, I'm overweight and on the journey of losing weight. I want to keep track of my body and save every kind of information about my body in a safe, secured place. Which includes captured photo of my body, medical reports and everything in between.

I don't need paid plans of 100 GB storage and more. I'm keeping track for 1 year, and I think that'll mostly hold up within 10 GB.

Hello. 23M here. Upon considering my routine, I found out that If I need to do well in my studies and overall life, I can allocate myself only 4 hours of sleep at most. And I need to continue this for at least 4 years.

Though I had been skipping sleep for all sorts of loser-oriented reasons, from my high-school days. Binge watching a series or gaming all night etc. But never too strongly on a regular basis that can be considered as insomnia or anything.

Scientists, upon researching individuals with sleep found out various life-concerning symptoms and outcomes when they weren't getting "Enough" sleep on a regular basis. Even though symptoms weren't reflecting that quickly, but some brought devastating outcomes later on life. These results are found in journals and research papers.

But I want opinions and advices from people who weren't a part of the research. Just regular guys who chose to focus on life too seriously by less prioritizing sleep.

My question is specifically towards the elderly people. Those who used to sleep less, around 4-5 hours daily for some years in their teenage, post-teenage years like me.

Did any of you guys face concerning health complications later in life that were then diagnosed as a lack of sleep in your teenage era?

Additionally, I have a slight memorization problem. I can't remember more than 90% of what happened to me back in my high-school era( 2016-2021 ). I used to vaguely remember until 2023 when I started to forget.

So I don't want to have any more cognitive complications by sleeping less hours in my thriving time.

Considering that I only need to continue this for at most 4 years and not more, How severe of a health complication I might face in future?

Couldn't find a laptop-specific community to ask this question.

I'm thinking to buy a 2nd hand/refurbished laptop.

For study purposes, browsing the internet, tinkering with a few note-taking apps like Obsidian, Capacities, Logseq etc. I'll persue coding in future.

Will definitely use linux. Probably Zorin OS or Fedora.

My last laptop broke back in 2023 and I've never touched a pc/laptop since. This is probably why, I lack the understanding of computing power of laptop grade processors in today's standard.

I just want to know that the things I'm hoping to do with my yet-to-buy laptop within a linux environment, will a i5 chipset be enough?

Here's what specs I'm hoping to get alongside the chipset:

16 GB of DDR4 RAM ( Non-soldered ) ( At least )512 GB SSD ( any variant will do )

I'll eventually upgrade the RAMs and SSD in future. Maybe when I'll start coding. But for my study purposes, 16 gigs is more than enough.

Will i7 be a perfect balance with the 512 + 16 GB combination or i5 will be efficient enough?
