Second for Pangolin.

They have a cloud hosted free tier you can try but it’s time/ transfer limited. If you like it, you can self host on your VPS with no subscription since it’s all FOSS software.

Also, thank you for addressing the native app vs Pangolin auth layer challenge. I’ve been wrestling with that myself.

“the 1900s”

I recently picked up a 2024 model moto g power 5g. The main reason is that I needed the cheapest smart phone I could find locally to test a new provider (phreeli) before committing. That, and to serve as a ready backup if one of ours dies. $115 at a big box store.

It’s… fine. Even after debloating I get about half the battery life of my galaxy s20 which is now 5 years old. I haven’t been able to figure out what’s eating it, or maybe it just has a smaller battery… I should check that.

Does borg need an entire python venv?

I was looking at “modern” backup tools while back and when I saw borg was python I decided not to bother.

Instead I focused on restic for a little while and then rsync was already there and I already knew the commands so… Rsync. Though I still have restic on my list.

I dunno. At a big company they probably won’t notice an extra TB of storage cost… So long as you’re discrete with the transfers.

I learn something new every day, thanks bud.

They’re not supposed to put chicken shit on the sandwich unless you specifically request it.
