Yes, exactly as I stated --- there are few guarantees in life. So use your best judgment and place your bets accordingly.

Personally, I'm betting on those who are highly incentivized and have the resources and structure needed to sustain reliable service.

Who is more highly incentivized than oneself, to keep their valuable data and treasured memories safe and sustained?

No one. But unfortunately, more than just incentive is required to make it happen.

Good luck being owned. If you don't take the action to safe guard your personal data, no one will. Stop living in a fantasy

Thanks for your concern but all my personal data is perfectly safe. I keep it in an old fashioned thing called a "backup" --- complete with encryption.

I maintain 3 copies --- no hosting required. One copy is strapped to my wrist at all times so it is always just as safe as I am --- if not safer.

That’s pretty cool! Especially with how dense microSD cards are these days, you could probably store every (important) photo an average person has without issue, along with the normal documents and whatnot.

Yes.

This is the "1" part of my 3-2-1 backup strategy.

The linked page say, "3 pieces to be solvent welded together."

Can you say more? What solvent would I use? What material would I choose to make the parts from? (I would be using a service to print the .stl file.)
