Maybe it’s because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc

Garmin. Works reasonably well without connection to the phone. Some models supported by Gadgetbridge
Edit: corrected app name
The article says they replaced them with remote workers in India, I’m assuming with even lower wages
I’m running Nextcloud from a Turnkey LXC template that’s available in Proxmox. Runs solid, I have no complaints for performance or stability. But upgrades are manual and very involved. It’s not too complicated, but there is always something that needs extra attention or troubleshooting. I also wasn’t able to figure out Turnkey migration toolset that they suggest to use for major upgrades, such as to new version of OS.
I second this. It makes total sense - computer memory is a volume to be filled with data. They ain’t call parts of a hard drive volumes for nothing.

Well, my original plan was to copy configuration over after I install apos that are not available as flatpaks. Looks like I can copy configuration for those too, just to another location
Interesting. It says that the project is in pre-alpha stage… not sure if I would be able to verify the scripts it generates
That’s what I mostly do now. But it requires some extra work, as some apps are not available in Ubuntu DEB repository. Also, I don’t like the approach that Canonical takes, pushing snaps so much
I really like GNOME. I know not enough about security of it compared to Cinnamon
Thanks! This is helpful
I see your point… I use Debian for my self-hosted environment, so having similar system on desktop may save some cognitive load. My main arguments against Debian are (maybe misinformed though):
So yeah, looks like it’s just upgrades… Gives me something to think about while I’m moving my apps to flatpaks
Thanks!
Bookmarks and passwords are taken care of. And for the apps I’ll try to get migrated to flatpaks as many as I can while still on original system.
I also see that full disk encryption is being recommended a lot, and I don’t have any solid reasons to encrypt only /home.
I have not given much thought on Silverblue. Is it “flatpak-only”? If so I’ll need to go through my apps to see if that could work. And my backup strategy will need to change - I use Duplicacy that is not available as a Flatpak
Yeah, looks like migration of flatpaks between OS is easy and makes sense a lot
Oh, that’s neat! Thanks!
Does this method allow to pick what you need to backup or it’s the entire filesystem?
At this moment I use too many tools.
For user data on my PC and on home server I mostly use Duplicacy. It is fast and efficient. All data backed up locally on NAS box over SFTP, and a subset of that data is backed up to S3 cloud storage.
I have a Mac, this one is using TimeMachine, storing data on NAS, then it’s synced to S3 cloud storage one a day.
And on top of that VMs and containers from home server are backed up by Proxmox built in tool to NAS. These mostly exclude user data.
Oh, that’s nice, thank you for this!
Mixing RAM is OK. I’ve been running consumer PCs with mixed memory for years.
Better not put different sticks on the same channel, though. Depending on your MB you may need to set frequency manually to 1333, but most likely it will work without that.
Yeah, apart from what another person said about alternative apps… Events organized by local communities or businesses are often advertised in Facebook only. I know of a few local businesses in my area with Facebook being their only online presence.
