Cursor’s biggest advantage is that it has all the code context loaded right up there in the embedded VSCode editor fork. Augment Code has a similar “context engine” built up, but it’s not a full blown editor.

Cursor’s latest plans were bringing it into something closer to what Claude Code or Claude Desktop is doing (Codex has similar tools.) I’m personally ditching it all and doing VSCodium in 1 window and OpenCode on a terminal. After using Cursor for a year (personal projects, not at work), I can say that it was good, but Composer 1 and 2 were absolute shit and I relied on GPT and Claude models. OpenCode + OpenCode Go (GLM, etc) offer a much more affordable alternative.

I bounced around a bit after Storj decided to hate consumers and institute massive minimums.

I’ve landed on Backblaze B2, S3 compatible. Add others have mentioned, doing a shared NAS 2 NAS hookup with a friend or family member is a nice ideal way to do it without monthly fees.

I use Borg backup from my PCs to a NAS (QNAP), and from there using the built in backup software to go off-site. My self hosted PCs will mount NAS drives directly (like immich and audiobookshelf) and those are also in the NAS off-site job.

Reolink stores to a SD card with the option to upload to FTP backups.

I suspect a big 128 gb card would be good enough without off-site storage.

I stopped using Google Maps the second this happened. Fuck that cowtow bullshit.

Mix tapes were the primary thing for me, and later burning custom CDs in the mid 90s.

I was the only one with a CD burner and I’d charge people $1 song to make them (I provided the CDs)
