💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey
After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.
📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression
That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.
It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.
🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

This Week in Self-Hosted (2 August 2024)
#Fediverse deep dives (courtesy @_elena), software launches, updates, directory additions, a spotlight on #PGBackWeb - a web app for creating and scheduling PostgreSQL backups, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!

I want to propose Commons Based Peer Production as an economic model capable of representing #opensource work, #carework, #volunteering and similar efforts, where traditional #capitalism can not.
Would this allow us to describe a path towards a #solarpunk #postscarcity future?
As of Fedora Linux 43, would you make Fedora your go-to recommendation for someone's first Linux distro? Please check the response that most closely fits what you think.

#Incus impressed me as a #Proxmox alternative, but #IncusOS? That’s the next evolution!
IncusOS comes with all the missing things like ARM64 (aarch64) support, boot safety, full disk encryption, immutable images (read-only and signed) and fully locked down to operate in API only mode.
For me, it’s a mix of #Talos, #Harvester and Proxmox where it merges the best features of all ones!

Curious about the latest trends in Open Source, GitHub, and AI? I recently had a great conversation with GitHub’s @alacolombiadev and @kedashakerr about this year’s Octoverse Report! We discussed how AI is shaping programming language preferences, the evolving approach to security in open source projects, and what these changes mean for developers.
Tune in to hear our thoughts and takeaways!

It is my personal and professional opinion, not to fund or further trust the Starkey Development.
I am out 1,000 bucks and that is my own doing. My fault. My stupidity.
But the development may be toxic with some not so nice individuals. The software, I like. You're likely using the software too (It's good, isn't it? I think so). But I do believe there are some toxic people you may not want to be associated within the development.

Didn't get your talk accepted at PyCon US? Same!
No worries. There are other opportunities to speak there: for example at one of the summits like the Maintainers Summit.
The Maintainer Summit is aimed for anyone who wants to learn more about open source project maintenance. CFP is still open but only until Feb 22.

It's time for a re- #introduction since this instance has changed a lot since being launched.
This instance was set up for testing and playing with Internationalized Domain Names. That experiment has mostly been a success and I've now migrated away from my once-main instance.
I'm a former software developer of over 20 years, working primarily in #opensource and #telephony. I now do #cybersecurity as a profession, after starting to do cybersecurity research as a hobby about a year ago.
In the last year, I've found and disclosed several dozen #vulnerabilities in #govtech platforms like #court and #voter registration systems, which have gotten a not insignificant amount of press coverage. Those disclosures can all be seen at https://govtech.cc
Beyond my #infosec postings, you'll typically find nonsense that I find funny; sometimes I might even say stuff that other people find amusing.
I once self-published a book that I've never read called The Consequences of Being Right (ISBN 979-8880045068). It was entirely written by ChatGPT and was published because I thought it was stupid and funny. Miraculously, I've managed to sell two copies, neither of which have been returned.
I'm #ActuallyAutistic and #ADHD, which is sometimes apparent.

Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
Static website in the front-end
Simple and reliable CI/CD
No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
#OpenSource
Nice to have
Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
CMS app packaged on @yunohost
No CMS vendor lock-in
I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
#FreeSoftware
Absolutely not
Front-end #JavaScript frameworks
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)
