General topics pertaining to image storage, digital archiving, and cloud storage
Because I use an open source software stack, any service you receive from me can easily be transferred to another host or your own physical machine. There is no regulation or clause preventing you from placing your data where you want it, unless you’ve already licensed it to a corporation… in which case, they own it
I recommend Nextcloud or Owncliud for cloud storage.
.Create a shared storage space for collaborative editing, with you in complete control over your data.
Make an image gallery to share with family, or a group of files for your business or club.
Start off hosting on WhyLib and move your instance to a different host or host on your own physical machine.
Whylib offers storage packages in 2 locations: Salt Lake City, Utah and Amsterdam, North Holland.

When you are gone, the images, videos, and writings you leave behind will chronicle the story of your life.
Most people upload their videos, post their writings, and share their pictures on one platform or another, giving their treasured moments and prized memories over to a corporate entity.
We all make choices. It’s easy and affordable to keep your own personal archive, public or private, using readily available tools.
Naturally, the large corporations don’t advertise this: they want to sell you their products and services.

As a long time Linux user, I’ve spent a lot of time tinkering with various open source softwares. I know for a fact that regular human beings can tend to their own data, and we don’t need a bunch of big business to do it for us. This site is evidence.
My mission is to set you on the path to managing your own data and leaving a chronicle behind after you’re gone. Very slowly, taking baby steps and small bites, moving gently and only when comfortable.
