Backing OFF after Backed UP

I have stopped backing up (except cellphone data) to cloud using Google Cloud.
For two reasons.

1. Number one my Privacy.
They are my private data.

2. Number two every time I access I have to pay the Service Provider money on MB Rate.
It is no longer FREE.

Every year by Christmas, I save my working data (old data is already old and dead) and erase my hard disk (except the laptop which is like a large cellphone with EndlessOS running).

Then I install the current Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Magiea and Emmabantus).

This time I made a little bit different process.

I used an old hard disk mounted on an external disk case to install Linux.

The units are PC, Laptop and my new Intel NUC all of them are running well the latest Linux distributions.

I am going to be in idle mode from today, till January 15th.

I am on holiday mood and mode.

I have 2 extra months thanks to Coronavirus incarceration and I have organized my working environment.

The idea was to overcome memory lapses that come and go probably due to old age and may not be due to vaccine abreaction.
