Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.

But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

You can start with The Uber files, which “is a global investigation into a trove of 124,000 confidential documents from the tech company that were leaked to the Guardian.”

Summary

Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals

Some examples:

• The cache of more than 124,000 internal Uber files lays bare the ethically questionable practices through which the company barged its way into new markets, often where existing laws or regulations made its operations illegal, before lobbying aggressively for those same laws or regulations to be altered to accommodate it. Read here
• Senior executives at Uber ordered the use of a “kill switch” to prevent police and regulators from accessing sensitive data during raids on its offices in at least six countries. Read here
• Two of Barack Obama’s most senior presidential campaign advisers, David Plouffe and Jim Messina, discussed helping Uber get to access leaders, officials and diplomats. Read here
• At least six UK government ministers, including the then chancellor, George Osborne, and the future health secretary Matt Hancock, did not declare secret meetings at which they were lobbied by Uber. Read here
• The inside story of how Uber used its connections to the Conservative party to lobby Boris Johnson in a rearguard effort to stop Transport for London introducing new regulations. Read here
• One of Uber’s top executives quit amid questions for the company about whether its European operations were structured in a way that avoided tax. Read here
• Uber secretly hired a political operative linked to Russian oligarchs allegedly aligned with Vladimir Putin in an attempt to secure its place in the Russian market, despite internal bribery concerns. Read here

Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.

As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.

Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

For the cloud storage part I can tell that Nextcloud serves the purpose fine.

I have configured our Android devices with Nextcloud app to upload new images directly into the my-nextcloud-user/files/SofortUpload folder. It has a structure /SofortUpload/ImageFolder/year/months/images, so for example /SofortUpload/Camera/2023/08/IMG_20230803_174100.jpg

(“Sofort” is German for “immediate”)

This auto-upload has been configured and happens (in our cases) also for the mobile device folders Pictures, Screenshots, Stickers, Telegram and Wallpaper.

For the timeline and viewing part I would also take suggestions, as having not yet found a good solution.

You can give QCAD a try.

QCAD is a free, open source application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams. QCAD works on Windows, macOS and Linux. The source code of QCAD is released under the GPL version 3 (GPLv3), a popular Open Source license.

The current version of QCAD is 3.28.

I can only second Posteo. Using their services for years now, I can confirm that Posteo is caring about security, data protection and the environment (using green energy). Also you do not need to provide your mobile-phone number or personal information and you can use standard OTP apps to secure the weblogin when you want to use 2-Factor.

I am using several accounts shared between Thunderbird on Desktop and K-9 on Android.

The only issues I have is, when sending to some US providers that still do not have TLS (“Transportwegesicherung”) implemented. In this case I have to manually deactivate the “TLS-Versand-Garantie”-option in Posteo settings, before the email can be send. Happens twice a year or so.

Maybe the Posteo suggestion gets downvoted, because their mail services indeed cost money (instead of scanning your communication and selling your data). But I find 1€ per account per month a good deal for what you get.
