working with people who cads for a living really drills down the point that linux will never reach any kind of desktop share for work purposes for other than people who either codes or janitors computers for a living, and that is really depressing. microsoft and autodesk can do what ever the hell they want, and noone can do anything about it. i don't think that'll change in my lifetime without the eu or equivalent starts a multinational project mandating open software and standards in the cad sector. i'm pretty sure autodesk deliberately makes their software hard to support in wine too. especially annoying since they use qt to develop it, and that it used to work just fine in unix years ago. i'm convinced it's done on purpose.

I've been using restic for backups for a few years but I finally had to try recovering a file from a backup for the first time because I apparently had accidentally deleted the private key for a certificate authority created in easy_rsa I have been using with caddy, and it was really easy to do "restic mount" to access the backups via fuse, find one where the file still existed, and copy it. I still haven't tried recovering a whole disk or something but it seems pretty good

https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-reaches-vulkan-conformance.html Open-source Vulkan driver for recent NVIDIA hardware has reached Vulkan 1.0 conformance, including the first release of its new shader compiler. It probably isn't super performant yet but functionally at least it appears to be coming online. Not sure how the nouveau kernel driver or firmware blob side of things fits into this at the moment.

if you have only one backup you have 0 backups if all your backups are stored in the same place you have 0 backups if your backups are writable from the prod env you have 0 backups if you have not verified you can recover anything you might want from your backups, and do so regularly, you have 0 backups

If there’s a single point of failure it’s not a backup. It’s a redundancy.

yea i had a whole presentation on the distinction between a copy and a backup. -> if ‘rm -rf /‘ or ‘lvremove’ or anything else within the system of concern can take out the backup, it aint a backup

Borg and borgmatic are quite nice. I've used it for years now, restored stuff a bunch of times as well. Doesn't need object storage, a file system is enough, even one reachable via ssh.

i use gnome-backup on my desktop and it works nicely, but it only supports "consumer" cloud storage so only like gdrive and not b2. all data is encrypted client side ofc. i believe it uses duplicity as its backend.

Maybe there is some nicer frontend for restic now though, I haven't really checked recently.

also if you have root on a machine then you can easily (by unix sysadmin standards) put object storage on it but not vice versa. install minio and stick traefik in front of it w/ letsencrypt, now you've got self-hosted and API-compatible S3 buckets. the reason newer backup stuff uses object storage is because object storage is way cheaper than block storage even before you add vm time to the equation. i think gnome-backup has an experimental restic backend as well. not sure i'd want to trust my backups to anything labelled "experimental" but then again people use btrfs itt
