each Steam game you have which uses Steam Cloud saves has a specific quota for storage, this quota varies quite a bit, but some games have quite a lot of quota:

chances are you don't have more than a few dozen megabytes of saves in any of these… so what if you could use the rest for nearly-free, general cloud storage?

Steam Cloud Drive

huh turns out this is trivially easy to take advantage of, you can just put a file into the saves folder for a game and it'll sync it

anyway i now have several gigabytes of old photos backed up in disco elysium's saves folder. if i could be bothered i'd write a script to sum all the available space across all my games and write data to it, but it's almost 4am and valve would probably ban me for it anyway

I've been lucky enough to live alongside bay trees for decades now but on god I've never met a plant that stores worse than bay. Completely different animal. You put it in a cabinet for one week and it looses half its flavor. One month and it dries up into a crunchy little nothing. Anyone who tries to sell you a bay leaf in a little plastic jar that has been in Walmart for half a year is complicit in pushing those recipe blog ingredient lists.

If you don't have fresh bay around (and who WOULD) just use a little greek oregano or thyme. But ideally, if you live in zone 8 to 10, plant a bay laurel because they are just wonderful trees and are a truly useful addition to any garden. Also they make SO MANY BAY LEAVES. You'll never want for it again.
