Just got this via email. Well that's great, just as I moved a high bandwidth client to them a couple months ago. I love the "if you don't like it feel free to cancel" in the email also. SMH.

Other popular choices include borg, duplicity, and duplicati.
After evaluating these and others mentioned in the comments, I ended up using borg with borgmatic to define homelab backups with yaml files that are version controlled in gitea and deployed using ansible.
I also use duplicity to back up my sister in laws storefront website to backblaze. I've been quite happy with both.
I have tested all of these also, and settled on borg + borgmatic. It has been absolutely rock solid. Borgmatic just rounds everything together in such a nice way. The documentation is great.
I'm pushing it all to a Hetzner storage box, as well as a local NAS. Super affordable!

Autorotation allows for a landing in the case of power loss, this is an old technique. It can still lead to a hard landing, but it's not totally uncontrolled.
Wow TIL, thanks!

To be perfectly honest, after uploading well over 1000 videos, I got a little tired of it. I still post monthly update videos, but it's been months since the last hacking video.
I'm still working on Ladybird every day, and I also manage two full time engineers now, thanks to the generous sponsorships we got from Shopify & others last year. :)
Add me as another vote that misses them. I totally understand you need a break and other obligations take more time, but I hope you can still find the time to do them occasionally. :)

> I'm waiting for HDR support
What HDR content would you like to view? I think my screen supports it, but I have long forgotten about that feature — maybe it wasn't even working when I tested it with a MacBook, but I couldn't tell any difference.
"KDE#Plasma 6.0 introduced experimental HDR support for Wayland session: System Settings > Display & Monitor > High Dynamic Range > Enable HDR." according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support
My use case is for gaming. I know there is some preliminary support now but I'm going to wait until everything is stable and "mostly works (tm)". :) Thanks though!

Maybe I am just lucky, but here is my experience as of literally today.
I just installed Fedora 40 (KDE 6) using the Fedora-40-20240304.n.0 nightly ISO. I then enabled the NVIDIA and Steam repos and installed both. Also installed asusctl. Everything seems to work perfectly.
This is on a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2021 (GA401QM) laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HS + NVIDIA 3060. The screen is at full resolution at 120 Hz. Keyboard lights work, audio works, WiFi worked out of the box, sleep works etc.
I tried a few games on Steam and they all worked out of the box without any tweaks what so ever. I also find I am really enjoying KDE. It must be over 15 years since I last tried KDE but now I really think it is way better than Gnome.
My desktop is still on Windows, I'm waiting for HDR support. I'm so excited to get off Windows forever. It really feels like Linux is finally good enough.

Does it still require a login? If so thanks but no thanks.

Taking them an awfully long time to start shipping to more EU countries. At this rate I doubt I'll ever buy one. Not really keen on using freight forwarding services and dealing with all that in case of needing support.

It did leave me confused why people recommend Mac's, after I had to use them again for work in 2017, replaced with an even worse 2019 edition. The hardware was down the toilet in terms of keyboard quality and heating to uncomfortable temperatures.
I completely understand where you're coming from, I hated my 2019 also. It was quite warm even on idle. If a external display was connected the GPU had a bug where even at idle it used a lot of power and the whole machine was hot hot hot. Any work what so ever would make the fans unpleasantly audible.
M1/M2 Macs are in a completely different league. I'm on a 16" M1 Max and it is just a dream from a noise / temperature point of view. The fans _never_ come on during normal web dev work. And the laptop is cold to the touch. I only hear the fans come on during gaming and heavy compiling.
