Many open source projects are not developed by unpaid volunteers. The Linux kernel, for example, is primarily developed by professionals on paid time. I’m not convinced the Linux kernel development would continue without business contribution. I’m not convinced all open source projects could just continue without any payment.

I do the same. Fedora on my laptop because I want a balance of stability and having the newest features. Servers run Debian, because I don’t have time to fix and update things.

Logcheck. It took ages to make sure innocent logs are ignored, but now I get an email as soon as anything non-routine happens on my servers. I get emails with logs from every update, every time I log in, etc. This has given me the most confidence that nothing unexpected is happening on my servers. Of course, one needs to make sure that the firewall is configured well, and that you use ssh keys etc., but logcheck is how I know I’m doing enough.

How do you upload a snapshot?

Basically, as you said. Mount the data somewhere and back up its contents.

I back up snapshots rather than current data, because I don’t want to stop the running containers that read and write from that data. I’d rather avoid the situation where the container is writing data while it’s being backed up. The back up happens shortly after the daily snapshot is made so the difference between current and snapshot data is small.

As others have said, with an incremental filesystem level mechanism, the backup process won’t be too taxing for the CPU. I have ZFS set up which makes this easy and I make hourly snapshots using sanoid which also get sent to another mirrored pair of connected drives using syncoid. Then, once a day, I upload encrypted daily snapshots to a bucket in the cloud using restic. Sounds complicated, but actually sanoid/syncoid and restic do all the heavy lifting. All I did is automate their schedules using systemd timers and some scripts to backup the right directories.

It’s worth noting that you don’t even need to still have the Kindle device physically with you. I had to throw mine out (I still had the original first ever model), but it’s still registered and the token is valid for Calibre’s DeDRM.

Looks perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

What about https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web?

Wireguard easily supports dual stack configuration on a single interface, but the VPN server must also have IPv6 enabled. I use AirVPN and I get both IPv6 and IPv4 with a single wireguard tunnel. In addition to the ::/0 route you also need a static IPv6 address for the wireguard interface. This address must be provided to you by ProtonVPN.

If that’s not possible, the only solution is to entirely disable IPv6.

Maintaining legacy options is always maintenance overhead or things you need to work around when implementing new features. I suspect that they’ve concluded that not enough people use it anymore to justify the overhead.

Plasma is amazing. It has been my DE of choice for years now. So happy I’m donating to the project.

That’s because podman-compose is not a goal for the project IIRC. Therefore, it will never be feature complete. They encourage using systemd or other tools to manage the pods. It seems that podman-compose is just not an enterprise use case.

Edit: so if docker-compose is important then yea, stick to docker. I moved to using systemd instead. Podman can generate the systems files for you.

Well, that’s just not true. WSL indeed is not Linux, but it does have several of the advantages of Linux.

It is not good if you want a home desktop solution, because that’s not what it’s there for. However, if you need to use Windows for something, e.g., at work to have full outlook MS office compatibility (access through the web is not great) but need Linux for dev work then WSL is great.

In short, I’d say WSL is there if you want to do dev work on Linux, but everything else on Windows.
