How can you be sure that the “random” products aren’t something that you’ve seen ads on (but not remembered seeing), which stuck in your subconscious, and then you regurgitated as the random item? Then later when you saw more of the same ads, you noticed them and they seemed like new, targeted ads.
You would need to use a random topic generator, not just come up with them via brain.
As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:

It’s just Fedora CoreOS with some small quality-of-life packages added to the build.
There’s tons of documentation for CoreOS and it’s been around for more than a decade.
If you’re running a container workload, it can’t be beat in my opinion. All the security and configuration issues are handled for you, which is especially ideal for a home user who is generally not a security expert.
It’s just Fedora CoreOS with some QoL packages added at build time. Not niche at all. The very minor changes made are all transparent on GitHub.
Choose CoreOS if you prefer, it’s equally zero maintenance.
🤷 I’ve been running Aurora and uCore for over a year and have yet to do any maintenance.
You can roll back to the previous working build by simply restarting, it’s pretty much the easiest fix ever and still zero maintenance (since you didn’t have to reconfigure or troubleshoot anything, just restart).
They won’t apply unexpectedly, so you can reboot at a time that suits. Unless there’s a specific security risk there’s no need to apply them frequently. Total downtime is the length of a restart, which is also nice and easy.
It won’t fit every use-case, but if you’re looking for a zero-maintenance containerized-workload option, it can’t be beat.
It’s nothing at all like using Drive, because the payload is encrypted.
I get 10+ hours on Aurora-DX + AMD laptop. I think AMD might be the part which makes the big difference.
No special config, just out of the box.
This is the way 👍
That’s not a caveat, as you should be making your own backups of your photos no matter where they’re located.
As an example, this man who lost all his photos because Google closed the account for an invalid reason, with no recourse.
For something irreplaceable like photos, you should take your own backup no matter where they are. If you’re not already doing this - have a good think about how painful it would be to lose all your photos, even if the perceived risk is low.
This doesn’t apply to just Google Photos of course. Any cloud provider has the possibility of losing your data or locking you out of your account. Even if the risk is low, do you want to roll those dice?
Always better to self-host photos if you can, rather than need to migrate them again in the future when wherever cloud service inevitably shuts down or enshitifies.
I’m hosting 500k photos with Immich, and the search capability is leagues better than Google Photos.
As with any EU company, the Swiss government can compel them to keep logs for an individual user in the case of serious crime. You can use Tor as Proton recommends for that exact use case.
But by default Proton does not keep logs of IP addresses.
