Yeah, I love the original name, but it would have been problematic potentially with copyright. As for breaking the format, sometimes there's good reasons for it. I can tell you that it really flies though, when compared to Borg/Vo

It’s centered around a simple YAML configuration format and includes a desktop GUI and webDAV server for browsing snapshots. Developed by the same team that created Vorta and Borgbase, I’ve been testing it and it’s quite fast and user-frien

I think it's probably a little bit harder than you think with all the rules and regulations out there. I would highly encourage anybody who's remotely interested, listen to the Acquired podcast episode regarding Visa. It's ac

I work in academia and I've gotten most of my people to switch to Macs and no, Linux is not an option here. I have about eight Windows PCs against about sixty MacBook Airs and guess which platform causes me the most work? 1:20 issue ra

One of my tech clients emailed me about a Roku problem and one of the AI suggestions in Gmail was to tell the customer to try unplugging a Roku for a minute and plugging it back in. I pressed that button, proofread the suggested text, and h
