When digital cameras arrived, I was not first in line to get one. Two of my co-workers were, long before me. We had a social mountain cabin weekend at work, and Monday morning, one of those digital guys put his 700 photos from the weekend on the company file server. The other digital one followed up, publishing his 500 photos on the company server.
When I had my 36 slides developed a couple of days later, I didn't care to try compete with the 1200 photos already on the server (actually more: Several other co-workers had added their 100, 150 or 200 photos.)
On the other hand: The silver photos I made are still among those I use to show what kind of pictures I am proud to make.

Having cleaned up after 3 different ransomeware attacks (different clients), I probably have different thoughts about backup. Worst loss: 3 days of email. All backups were air-gapped.
There is Backup and there is D.R. Different requirements, IMO.

This one's going to run and run, but what I do is:
- daily backups to a second, local hard drive
- daily backups to OneDrive (I use that because storage there is cheap)
I feel on pretty safe ground here, don't reckon I'm going to lose anything. I used to also back up occasionally to an external drive, but I don't do that anymore.

Presumably full rather than overwrites?
If just a overwrite then this is susceptible to a ransomware attack. Could still be even so if the older ones are still writable.

OneDrive keeps old versions. 30 days, IIRC

My very first boss in the business, this would have been 1978 and the environment was IBM mainframe, gave me a 7 inch magtape and said "every good programmer has a backup".
Now it I use thumb drives on Intel/Windows or Linux; I make backups/copies about every other day and at significant milestones. One copy onto the shared network drive, one into my pocket. May be a problem with company policy? everything is password protected and/or encrypted with a key and I don't make a big deal of letting people know I don't trust their network copies.

"How did one idiot find another before social media?"
...asked the lady in a face-to-face conversation.
I think there's the answer right there.

We had the Lounge long before that!

Well, to be fair, social media is a major factor in the recent idiotizing of the masses.

It's become contagious.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I don't think it's made any of us more of an idiot than we already were. It's just easier to publicize it to a larger audience.

For the most part, yes. Maybe the capacity for idiocy hasn't really increased, but the speed at which it idiotic ideas can flourish has.

Yup. We used to have village idiots. Now we have village, town, city, country, and global idiots.

It gives you broader scope when asking the all-important question: Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
