    So there’s a storage protocol called “S3” (I wanna say it stands for simple scalable storage?), first created by Amazon for AWS. Many types of software, including backup programs, have been designed to use it as a storage backend. There are now many S3 compatible providers, last I looked the best value was backblaze B2.

    You need a backup program with end-to-end encryption, S3 compatibility, and whatever other features you like. I use restic but it’s CLI only, there’s also borg backup and many others.

    If you encrypt locally with a good key, you don’t have to trust the remote storage provider. They just see a bunch of meaningless noise. Just don’t lose the key or your backup is useless.

    Any decent camera with an m4/3 or better sensor and a half decent lens will blow the best smartphones out of the water. Computational photography can’t beat physics.

    Edit: in good light they can get close, but the differences show up quickly in low light, if you crop, or if you look at it on anything bigger than a phone.

    As others have mentioned, find a decent beginner program and follow it. Other advice:

    • run slow. Really slow. Embarrassingly slow. Slow enough to have a conversation. You don’t need to do any speed work yet.
    • your biggest priority is avoiding injury; it’s a lot harder to recover from one than to avoid it in the first place. You accomplish this by slowly ramping up training volume, using decent shoes that aren’t worn out, and having decent form.
