Parents are increasingly rethinking what it means to create an online footprint their child can’t actively consent to.
Here’s a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It’s great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.

These days I use Btrfs snapshots to do incremental backups to an external drive each week, it’s manual but it takes less than 5 minutes a week, the most I risk losing is a week of data and I trust it a lot more than relying on some external service that might go down at any time or randomly decide to delete my account. For most people just worried about photos I would assume that’s enough, I feel like anything else is just over-engineered.
If it’s not fully automatic I won’t stick with it
I find keeping a calendar is useful for remembering routine tasks.
That’s a very nice solution I will look into it. Thanks.
This is basically the method I use:
