So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

Yup, and with @notthebees’ idea of taking photos as a backup you’ve got what you need.

Having a computer-based one that’s the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

I know these are famous last words, but this doesn’t sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know kung-fu coding.

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!
