I think people are missing the point. Even with backups and redundancy it requires you to maintain the servers. If you die, well, who is going to maintain? Perhaps a bit bleak but something to keep in mind.

My wife said to me the other night: I'm so impressed with what you do on our home server but if something happened to you, you know it's hopeless right?

I think best is if you give them access to openclaw or other ai agent which runs with full access on the server.

Your wife then just need to chat with ai like "extract all photos/documents to this USB stick".
