Episode notes

In 2023, how important are time machine backups? John: I feel like cloud services have matured to the point where they can be trusted to safe data storage. Marco: As long as your stuff is other places and you have the backblaze as like the fail-safe solution, I think you're probably okay. All of this was based on an interview with Dan Provost from Studio Neat.
