Starting 2024.

Let's see in a couple of months. I'm on Apple France and the magic mouse is for sale (85 frigging Euros, are you kidding me?). With lightning.

I was accused of being dumb last time I said Israel is a Nazi state. 😌

History repeats itself.

So exciting!

Rankine?

Have you tried with √0,86?

Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.

Probably if you Google it or search on the Vorta website.

The short version, after some research, is that Borg is better suited for Linux users as it involves ssh key based authentication to the backup server hosted on borgbase.com.

Whereas restic is maybe simpler to setup if you're on Windows.

The good news is that, whichever "protocol" you use, borgase.com provides cheap cloud storage supporting both, for as little as 24€/year for 250 GB. It's the plan I have and it fits comfortably my ~130GB of Google Photos + all the other Gapps exports (~10GB gmail + 15GB gdocs being the biggest offenders after photos).

You can read a lot about this by just Googling Borg vs restic.

Both Borg and restic are just the backend apps, you'll want a frontend as well, be it a CLI or a separate GUI application. Since I use Borg on Linux I paired it with Vorta, simple GUI and has scheduled backups and alerts you if they haven't run in a while, plus you can mount your backups to local paths to inspect their contents and extract data selectively.

Dunno if the same is possible with restic, but there are also GUIs for that, for sure.

Enjoy!

Folks, get regular Google Takeouts (you can schedule them) and back them up using something like Vorta + borgbase.com

Nope. What was it for?

Not sure it fits the niche definition, maybe not by subs count, but by topic I'd say it does.
