Me
That is true for lots of things.
Moreover I use one easy “default” password for all basic stuff, and its always the same known to my spouse and written down on paper.
At least my offsite backups are protected from prying eyes. Maybe uneeded for local backups, but doesn’t hurt to have.
Why would you want password less backups?
I understand if the reason is ‘just because’, but seriously, why? I just write down the password in a text file for restic --password and I am done.
I use gentoo: I only install what I like/want/need…
Than you for your very appreciated feedback. Feel free to DM/PM me for anything related.
I keep a wiki on all that I do.
This is the page on radicale: here
This is the more general page on reverse proxy here
And so on, Check the sidebar.
I mostly write it so that in future I remember what I did and how I did it, but I use some unusual techniques compared to the mainstream point of view from this community, so keep that in mind.
Gentoo linux with Radicale on bare metal. Radicale is behind NGINX reverse proxy that slaps HTTPS and authelia redirect for authentication on top.
And of course i use DAV5X on android.
Never had an issue with caldav and cardav. Maybe you are using broken servers or clients?
Even notes can be done efficiently on those standards…
But, hey, I am using only FOSS server and clients, maybe you referring to proprietary ones? You know, those who are mare by vendors who have no interest in interoperability?
I installed from fdroid, I expect it to be still available as far as it will work…
And I guess somebody will build and keep publishing it just not on google play, which is anyway a cesspool nowadays, so no big deal.
I am not sure that checking the time in the watch instead of on phone counts as reducing phone usage…
But anyway, any “smart” watch will not help you as they all need a phone app.
Get a cheapo analog watch, in that case…
As sport watches go, get a Garmin. Its proprietary, but it’s the best in the class.
I have a Fenix 7, wife has a Fenix 5.
Battery last days/weeks (5/6 days with some 10-15 hours of sport tracking with GPS active).
I suggest some “older” models with MIPs displays, not AMOLED, because they have better (absolutely perfect) under the sun readability and much better battery life.
You need the Garmin Connect app on phone, but the web interface to the Garmin ecosystem is simply the best.
I managed to integrate Fittrackee (self hosted) and synched to my Garmin profile to keep all my activity self hosted.
Despite being proprietary, Garmin software is quite nice and the watch can be connected directly to PC to download activities and tracks even without using the app.
Ext4 on every Linux device.
Ah i dont have any other kind of devices (android on mobile, but there I have no choices on fs)
Why not btrfs? Don’t know, been using what has kept working flawlessly for me for the last 20+ years, no need to replace ext4.
Well, only “real” modems… Those amazing piece of crap that offloaded hardware to the windows driver where… Questionable.
And they started appearing around windows 95/98.
Ah, Linux from scratch…
Also, hardware was… Harder back then, on Linux (mostly modems).
Beside that, software wise there was less stuff on Linux than today, so you had to check carefully you had what you needed.
But I was already a Linux user, and a linux-only user at that.
I started with an ancient redhat, moved to Linux From Scratches, landed in Gentoo 25+ years ago and never hopped anywere else since…
Ffmpeg guys, ffmpeg first king… And VLC golden second.
Is this on your personal work PC or company wide?
Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)
Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…
10 years? Boy you are joung :)
I have encrypted files from w 20 years ago, and unencrypted files from 30 years ago.
And digitized stuff from analogic of 40 and 50 years ago.
