Lattepanda mu is apparently a very powerful alternative.

youRFate ,

On windows.

youRFate ,

Right, I usually do that or lz4.

youRFate ,

I know, but I’d say ppl on Linux tend to not use it.

youRFate ,

With restic you can pipe to stdin, so I use mysqldump and pipe it to restic:

mysqldump --defaults-file=/root/backup_scripts/.my.cnf --databases db-name | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename db-name.sql

The .my.cnf looks like this:

[mysqldump]
user=db-user
password="databasepassword"

Alternatives to Google Docs/sheets?

What are people using in place of Google docs/sheets/etc? I'm looking for a simple program that syncs with the cloud so I can access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone. I run Windows 10 (don't crucify me). I use libre office for things that can stay on one computer, but for things like school notes,...

A really cool do-it-all Option to de-google / de-cloud yourself is to buy a synology NAS. They come with all the cloud stuff you want, it works really well out of the box:

  • Synology Drive for synced files, sharing files / folders with friends etc.
  • Synology Office (Integrated into Drive)
  • Synology Photos does the photo backup from your mobile devices
  • Synology Calendar for calendar syncing etc

That way you're not moving from one cloud provider to another one you might or might not trust, but you host it all yourself.

Very true, but I like my NAS to be maintenance-free, and Synology delivers on that. Their apps work out of the box and are installed with basically one click. I fiddle with tech enough at my job, I like my private tech to just work.

Even as a power-user you can do a lot, the synology nas also runs docker, so you can run whatever you'd like on it, not just the synology provided services.

Expanding the hardware is kind of a pain, even with RAM they are kind of weird and you need some approved (synology-brand) ram, or need to fiddle with some system files to make it accept any ram.

Also i’d love if they went with zfs instead of their llvm + btrfs.

I don’t have an android. On iOS I tried their table thing, it works decently, but not nearly as nicely optimised for the use on an iPad as Apple Numbers is.

youRFate ,

Also features heavily in the altered carbon books, where software tortures you for months in minutes of real time.

youRFate ,

FYI: if you run freebsd you are not affected: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-security/2024-March/000248.html

Took me a while to find out so I thought I’d share.

youRFate ,

Restic is my tool of choice for deduplicated encrypted verifiable compressed incremental backups.

youRFate , (edited )

You can’t dedup/compress restic repos at fs level due to the encryption.

Nice thing is you get those even with „dumb“ targets that can‘t do those for you.

youRFate ,

Oof yes, my Kia ev6 too. Down is next. In my BMW up was next.

youRFate ,

The editor I use when I’m on windows by accident but still have to look at some text files real quick.

youRFate ,

Emacs is, too, but I don’t bother having a proper editor set up. I won’t develop anything on that machine anyways.

    Lol 99% of mobile devices not made by Apple. Apple operating systems are based on BSD, not Linux.

    youRFate ,

    Someone read some Yuval Noah Harari it seems.
