This. I've heard a lot of grief about USAID specifically but that's because I live in DC with a lot of friends directly impacted by its dissolution. The wider conversation I've seen is about Musk being an unelected official making unconstitutional presidential-level decisions. I'd like to see what OP is talking about specifically, because between this and some other comments, I'm getting some real "old man yells at cloud" energy.

I refuse to rely on software that resides on the Cloud, and I insist on having all my data stored right here, on my own hard-disks. While I don’t yell at clouds but am approaching two-thirds of a century, you may call me an "old man who is skeptical of the Cloud".

Nerdy aside: If you haven't already you should switch to solid state storage (SSD) storage instead of hard drives. More reliable in the long term and if you have multiple backups (as you should!) you can duplicate one backup to another one much, much quicker due to improved write speeds. Those of us relying on local storage need to make sure it's reliable and less prone to failure.
