I use Backblaze B2 for off-site backup.

I recently starting using Proxmox Backup Server to back up my virtual machines.

I have Restic scheduled to back up the PBS folder, photos, etc. multiple times per week. My restic script excludes large replaceable things like video files.

Backblaze announced recently that they’re switching to everything being encrypted on their end. It’s already encrypted coming from my server, but I guess it’ll be double encrypted? The only caveat is it only applies to new objects, so I plan on making a new bucket and starting my backup from scratch.

I, for one, value my family photos more than a replaceable, insured box made of wood with electrical wires running all over the place.

All-clad are great and they have factory sales from time to time. I don’t know the specs on thickness, but my 10" All-Clad is heavier than a vintage 10" cast iron pan (but lighter than a new Lodge).

They’re easy to keep clean. Anything baked on usually comes off with Barkeepers Friend, chain mail, or a combination of both.
