Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call “satisfaction” https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I’ll do next. Thanks again 👍

“The strength is in the diversity of the mediums” I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks

Good advice. My off-site is my brother’s place.

Checked it out, thanks. I have to figure out, how it compares to my rsync Script

So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?

I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time. I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.

That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something “on the shelf”. Thank you for the advice though :)

Ugh, sounds icky. Thanks for the advice:)

https://www.ganttproject.biz This one is nice

Had no problem with Linux mint 21.x.

That’s neat!

In m opinion, practicing with real life problems is the best teacher. There are some ways to cut and convert videos, audio and images via terminal. Maybe there is still a way to enrich or streamline your workflow with that. Maybe a script which will prepare the folder of your next project. Also, xdotools let you automate a lot of sometimes tedious routines.

Thanks for sharing. That is not what I expected. My nuc sometimes seems sluggish, even with a fairly small load. Guess i have something hogging the resources. 🤨

RSS-Bridge

Thank you, i will get myself one of those 301 and check it out 👍

The mascot is … something I did not expect. °_°

Yes I am interested. It is very insightful. I have a follow up question, if you don’t mind. I like the idea of getting off-grid… or off-mega-corp. You use home assistant for heating and lightning. With heating you mean, by any chance, automatic thermostats on single radiators? I dabbled a bit with that but had a hard time to find some without the necessity to Link them via telemetry sending apps. What is your take from that?

Wow, that is an extensive list! Impressive. I guess, your home lab doesn’t live just in an pi or old nuc. What kind of hardware are you using for all that?

Wow, you found the mother lode!

That’s a great list. Thank you. I thought about vault warden, it is great as a self hosted alternative to bit warden. At the same time, I am not sure if I would be able to properly secure it.

I just read about forgejo, while reading up on Codeberg, which seems to be very popular here.

I am intrigued about baserow. What are you using it for?
