Yup I know I am the product. That’s why we are encrypting everything with AES256 before upload using rclone’s crypt remote

I just don’t trust any cloud provider tbh. Performance hit from AES256 is very insignificant and it provides solid privacy regardless of provider. Might as well get the cheap one

Possibility of Google keeping API access up after cancellation is why I asked this question. To learn what happens when to rclone Google drive mount after an expiration

Well, my VPS is used mainly by my friends for Minecraft servers, collaboration, file sharing, streaming and pretty much everything cloud related

Most of them live in Istanbul and my VPS provider is one of the most reliable and affordable providers located in Istanbul.

Unfortunately, Hertzner doesn’t work for me because their prices are astronomical for me compared to Google’s regional pricing for Turkey (40TL/mo = 1.1USD/mo for 2TB)

I just wanna exploit the service as much as possible since I just don’t rely on them. Electricity prices are too high for homelab but maybe I could set up a solar powered server if I save a little (I’m a student, I don’t have much money, but I like the hobby)

I’ll probably try accessing cancelled drive account with rclone and find out if it’s possible

It is dockerized but that doesn’t really matter since the DB which is probably one of the most private things on your server is also stored in the container. So a hacker who got into the container can steal your timelinize DB

Your best bet is running this LAN-only but that kind of destroys the whole point of it. This thing should never be connected to the internet
