https://www.nubico.es/ is what came with my bq Cervantes, but I can't vouch about whether the DRM is cross compatible -- though I'm sure with Calibre it can probably be stripped.

A decade ago, I worked for an ISP and we got hundreds of emails a day that matched this pattern. The copyright trolls had this idea a long long time ago :).

Sorry, wrote that and then went offline for a couple of days. Perhaps it's my own cynicism about corporate engagement coming through, and that may be unfair given how open GitLab is as a company -- but the sentence beneath that headin

UBIs also have the capacity to expand the workforce. As I age, I find my social circle increasingly includes people who can't work a traditional 9-5 job -- whether that's temporary (caring for an ill family member, early parentho

At least where I'm from, poor people typically don't own land. They rent. I guess the argument can be made that the landlords would put the rent up to compensate.

Yes. I _love_ Keybase Git for instant, immediate, safe backups of private repos. Keybase Git has been an absolutely killer feature for me since it came out and I'll miss it terribly if Keybase-the-software takes a turn for the worse.

This is one of those fun situations where everyone's right. The upstream default has changed, but CentOS still uses the old default.

Huh, sorry for that then. I used to get this all the time with TC, Engadget and a few other sites, but since turning JS off, it's stopped. Something else must have changed around the same time I tinkered with it.

It's a Javascript based redirect; block all JS on the page and it'll stop happening. Super annoying.

I believe the project may be dead -- https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/259 -- but I see there has been some activity since then.

Fair enough. I still use and like your service for a second off-site backup of ~40GB of very very important stuff, but was unable to ignore the cost savings for bulk data.

I (sadly) moved from you guys to Backblaze, as they're down at $0.005 (ie. 0.5 cents) per GB. They will charge me (1 cent/GB) if I have to restore the backup, but this is my extreme off-site everything-blew-up-including-the-bac

Too late to edit now, but I meant "duplicity" rather than "rdiff-backup" in the above post. Woops.

Probably, yes. Sorry, I should’ve said “in no particular order” — this is part of the reason why I haven’t tried to tackle building something myself :).

rclone is rsync-on-steroids, and you can use it for backups, but it's not the same shape of tool as the above tools. It's effectively "copy these files from $here to $there" where $here and $there are any cloud provider

restic doesn't perform compression. Depending on your use case (I use it for photography backups, which don't compress well), that might be OK -- but it's something to be aware of.

There's so many backup systems out there these days, but none that are quite perfect. The closest I've found is `rdedup`[1], which may no longer be maintained. What I'd like in a backup solution is: - compressed - dedupli

Not at this stage, but I've got them all in a git repo in Keybase. The problem is that I've had pretty sloppy discipline re: storing secrets in them (... because Keybase makes that less bad), so I'll need to put some effort

I've been using Wayland full-time (via Sway) since Sway went 1.0. It's been a pretty straightforward experience. The transition took some elbow grease at first (things like getting redshift working, as the author notes), but the

There's a book called The Devil's Cup, which is one of those travel/history hybrids, that follows along with a similar tale. It feels a bit cavalier with the facts; it has a hypothesis and seeks to prove that out rather than

I was completely unaware of this feature, and blissfully saved by it when building a computer for a family member. It's a killer feature.
