I retired from my job in 2015 and was 100% ESRI at that time. I went back to college and have since gotten another job and am now 100% QGIS. I also used R in college.

I have been working with MySQL for a few years but I am planning to set up PostgreSQL with PostGIS on a free Neon neon.tech/account and move up from there. It is a better spatial db of the two IMHO.

I set up a QNAP NAS and IDrive for backup. The QNAP has a failover drive in case one goes bad. I have 8TB of data stored so using external drives is a chore and they fail more often than I like.
