If you and your partner both have iphones then iCloud should be sufficient for keeping the photos to yourselves if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. I think it requires you and your partner to have two yubikeys at a minimum though.

Photos encrypted at rest, only you and your partner will have access to the keys. If you want the convenience of icloud backup then the government would be able to subpoena your decryption keys from your phone backups, but it's not going to be available for casual employee access.
Automated tagging/face matching is done by your iPhone when it's plugged in so there's some organization. Nothing close to Google's AI organization.

I know Apple is a shit company. But they've learned a thing or two after the Fappening.

Advanced Data Protection should be the minimum setting for you to consider Apple as your photo storage. Your photos will auto upload from your phones, apple has partner sharing so photo libraries will automatically be shared between you and your partner, and they recently implemented a system similar to "signal key verification", but again limited to ADP turned on.

Otherwise you're looking at Proton or Tresorit.

Proton

What is this photo storage thing? All I can find is proton drive.

Her photo implies that she is at least lean.

Can try find your local library? Make a burner e-mail/internet profile there?

Copy/pasting information/matter infinitely for the benefit of everybody? Where have I seen that before?

Will picture in picture support on IOS eventually be added?

Internet archive should allow for people to put up donations to cover the cost of whatever obscure website they want preserved. Assign a priority incase funds get low.

A private company is not storing petabytes of encrypted data on the chance they might turn a profit with that information later. They can't even turn a profit with the useful petabytes of videos they have on YouTube. I can rest assured that every CEO is trying to get the next round of stock buy backs going.

The government totally would harvest petabytes of encrypted data, but they're not revealing their spy program because you want to see muscle orgys. At least until a more religious government is formed.

The bad news is that uploading e-books will involve programming on your part (for your sanity at least).

The good news is that it should be far easier than other mediums.

If you are approaching from a complete safety perspective (cause you live in a fiefdom that owes tribute to the publishers guild), then you're going to want to OCR the pages of the book and use the text to make a brand new book free from metadata. I'm pretty sure a python crash course could get you up and running in a month or 6.

If you want what's closest to the original product, then you'll need a python script that strips everything from the book into just a text document, then re-convert back into your own book. You'll have to review the text document to see if any random code was included in the book like invisible text.

Both options are so simple from a programming perspective that I've never seen scripts to strip e-book protections. A real (the solution is left un-worked as a challenge for the reader). And from what I know, the publishers have switched to focusing on selling hard copies as their bread and butter, and striking deals with libraries for other revenue. Big money is still in mandatory university textbooks.

@matcha_addict In this situation, I'd advise acquiring a copy from an alternative source, then just compare the texts of the two.

In practicality though, if you're already going the OCR route then just utility knife cut the pages from a real book and feed them into a feeder scanner. All they get to know is that some asshole cyberpunk script kiddie jacked your book while you were waiting at a bus stop.

Probably the cut and paste from magazines, but you copy and paste the sentences you want to use.
A lot of extra work, but no AI to rat you out.

Get a lightweight gaming laptop instead. Combine with a lap desk.

Yes
