CBS and chilly out.
Dawn chorus started around 6:30, head torch off at 6:45. Frost on the cars, and there were a few patches of ice on our walk.
CBS (can't believe I'm saying that) and not raining (yet) today. Must have been chilly overnight as there were cars parked in the next village with frost on their bonnets/windscreens. Misty in the valleys. Still definitely winter.

Dawn chorus started just before 6:40, at which time it was starting to get bright out and not raining (although it had been raining overnight). I was happy that so far on the walk, my choice of clothes had been correct - no need for the waterproof trousers, so it was jeans &...
Hi Prismatic, welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear about your brother.
I'm not sure how quickly you'll get a recommendation on here for an accountant, but in terms of the company, a good place to get information is Companies House. https://find-and-update.company-information.service....

Gentle spitting at the start of the walk, but within a few minutes that had stopped. Miracle of miracles.
A bit breezy out, but the dawn chorus was in full song by 6:45

Wide awake at too early o’clock.
I believe my wife’s flight has just landed, but haven’t heard anything from her since 11:50 yesterday morning, so I’m hoping she’s on it.
Didn’t sound like it was raining overnight, and it’s too dark to see out.
Not what the OP was asking for. Anyway, in the early 90s I was speccing off-site backups, e.g. replicating the complete server structure at a secondary plant 20 miles away, because having RAID isn't going to be much good for disaster recovery if the disaster is the server room being blown up. Or a simpler...

Heavy rain overnight, but the forecast rain for this morning has not arrived yet, so our walk was muddy underfoot, cloudy but dry overhead.
The OP wasn’t asking about file backups or security, and no one has suggested that the sole or primary backup should be on the cloud.
This isn’t about “single file recovery” but file sharing.
Reading the requirements is a key to coming up with a solution. If you state something that...
In part of the “use up everything that is expired” mode, today I’ve made tahini from some sesame seeds marked as best before October 2023 and then used some of it to make hummus with a tin of chickpeas (March 2025)
Next is to make some trout pate from fish I smoked a couple of years ago...
If your only backups are onsite, then all it takes is a fire, flood or burglary to lose it all.
For stuff that is important, I have local online and offline backups as well as cloud backups with two different companies....
You mentioned that it is for home use and file sharing.
Some of the comments make it sound like you need a server setup to manage all the writing and updating, but from reading your post, most of the access is going to be read only. As such, I’d not configure the system for raid as it’s just...
