    If you and your partner both have iphones then iCloud should be sufficient for keeping the photos to yourselves if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. I think it requires you and your partner to have two yubikeys at a minimum though.

    Photos encrypted at rest, only you and your partner will have access to the keys. If you want the convenience of icloud backup then the government would be able to subpoena your decryption keys from your phone backups, but it’s not going to be available for casual employee access. Automated tagging/face matching is done by your iPhone when it’s plugged in so there’s some organization. Nothing close to Google’s AI organization.

    I know Apple is a shit company. But they’ve learned a thing or two after the Fappening.

    Advanced Data Protection should be the minimum setting for you to consider Apple as your photo storage. Your photos will auto upload from your phones, apple has partner sharing so photo libraries will automatically be shared between you and your partner, and they recently implemented a system similar to “signal key verification”, but again limited to ADP turned on.

    Otherwise you’re looking at Proton or Tresorit.










  • No. Because it’s a contract between you and Steam. These digital contracts haven’t been around for long enough for society to figure out inheritance standards yet, so the companies have all the power to just force your family to repurchase.

    Nothing is stopping you from just handing your login credentials to your family. If they can’t figure it out then they were not worthy of your library.







  • The bad news is that uploading e-books will involve programming on your part (for your sanity at least).

    The good news is that it should be far easier than other mediums.

    If you are approaching from a complete safety perspective (cause you live in a fiefdom that owes tribute to the publishers guild), then you’re going to want to OCR the pages of the book and use the text to make a brand new book free from metadata. I’m pretty sure a python crash course could get you up and running in a month or 6.

    If you want what’s closest to the original product, then you’ll need a python script that strips everything from the book into just a text document, then re-convert back into your own book. You’ll have to review the text document to see if any random code was included in the book like invisible text.

    Both options are so simple from a programming perspective that I’ve never seen scripts to strip e-book protections. A real (the solution is left un-worked as a challenge for the reader). And from what I know, the publishers have switched to focusing on selling hard copies as their bread and butter, and striking deals with libraries for other revenue. Big money is still in mandatory university textbooks.
