I’ll be brief: I have spent more than a week, since Friday the 13th, moving all of my backups out of the Cryptomator vault I have built inside my OneDrive Cloud folder, and am now using two external drives do backup my PC proper.
I thought I was very clever having using Cryptomator, and I sort of bet a lot of people feel the same cleverness I did: to build something awkward, and somewhat servicable.
But, ever since reinstalling my PC a few days ago (you can work from a cleaner slate, after all), copying files, and invariably losing files to the buggy interaction between Cryptomator and OneDrive Cloud, I have realized a very fundamental truth about Computers 2026:
they are not broken. There is nothing to fix. Watching Defrag.exe walk through its rectangles in the 90s is no way to do Computers in 2026. The Cloud is nonsense. I am a graphic designer. I am done with tweaks.
I have recently recovered my ideal workspace for my PC, and there is literally nothing to improve upon there.
I think I will use all of my Social Media presence to slowly connect with people who are interested in improvng their craft, over being done, over doing finished pieces.
If you feel that this is the community you also want, we will meet somewhere. I am putting my energy out there.
Until next time, where I will continue building that which I myself need the most.
