Bit of a different solution:

If Paperless-NGX is one of the things you self-host; it has options to import emails based on your specified criteria, then you could have it delete each piece of mail it imports. You can also just have it move mail to folders on the mail server, or just tag/flag mail instead of deleting it. (for you to then manually delete at your leisure)

I use this to automatically import receipts, bills, work documents, and any other regular mail instead of dealing with it manually every week/month.

I can never remember; is it the left or right nipple that goes to battery positive??

No the fuck I don't.

Yeah "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$HOSTNAME.$(date +%Y.%m.%d).img" and while its running. (!!! Make sure the output is NOT going to the sd card you are backing up....)

I deliberately chose a time when it's not very active to perform the backup. Never had an issue, going on 6 years now.

I used to wonder why porn sites aren't required to use '.cum' instead of '.com'...

I've always used dd + sshfs to backup the entire sd card daily at midnight to an ssh server; retaining 2 weeks of backups.

Should the card die, I've just gotta write the last backup to a new card and pop it in. If that one's not good, I've got 13 others I can try.

I've only had to use it once and that went smoothly. I've tested half a dozen backups though and no issues there either.

I wish I'd actually chosen a file system instead of just letting window's at the time default to NTFS for external drives.

Moving from Windows to Debian; NTFS has been nothing but a headache. I've actually had to setup a windows machine to serve that drive pool via SAMBA as Linux just won't play nicely with it.

Pretty sure the media itself is stored in ram, or similar volatile memory; so it wipes automatically on powerloss.

Last time I looked at the topic (several years ago in a now deleted reddit post); someone had posted info on the projector system.

The media is delivered on a battery backed up rack-mount pc with proprietary connectors and a dozen anti-tamper switches in the case. If it detects meddling; it wipes itself. You're not likely to grab a copy from there.

As the other commenter mentioned; the projector and media are heavily protected with DRM, encrypting the stream all the way up to the projector itself. You can pull an audio feed off the sound board; but you're stuck with a camera for video.
