I used dawarich but switched to geopulse because dawarich broke too often on updates. I only rarely use it but it works well enough.

So now you have three options that you can compare, good luck?

all my back ups are what they should be

Are you sure? While the cloud backups may not affect you the exclusions might, afaict no one even knows what exactly is excluded.

From the link:

This annoyed me. Firstly I needed that folder and Backblaze had let me down. Secondly within the Backblaze preferences I could find no way to re-enable this. In fact looking at the list of exclusions I could find no mention of .git whatsoever.

Which strongly implies that there might be other important folders that aren’t backed up. (Without .git inside a git folder it is no longer a git repository)

I don’t use backblaze but from the outside it looks like they’re cutting costs by worsening the backups to reduce storage usage.

Backblaze quietly stopped backing up .git, mounted remote storage and maybe more without showing the user what they’ve stopped backing up?

Dread it. Run from it. Enshitification arrives all the same.

Somehow, good critic reviews returned

forcing many users to consider the unthinkable “Do I really need 300 subscriptions?”

Well, normally I’d agree but in this case I’d guess that more people have watched the video than read the blog. That’s the order in which I stumbled on it too.

Edit: Also:

I’m working more with older SBCs and microcontrollers now, and I think that’s the direction many in the hobbyist space are going.

In the embedded video he talks about it from 4:40-5, then talks about microcontrollers and mentions used hardware (though says it’s also affected by price hike).

The thing that these complaints about RPi pricing complaints always seems to miss is that that was talked about in the blog.

Use a VPN, it’s not ideal but it’s secure.

When does your Server actually pull the repo though?

I have linkwarden set up for this.

On Android I share to the linkwarden app to save, on pc i use the Firefox addon.

Sure it’s fragmented but I’m already used to doing things different between mobile and pc anyways.

The foreign backdoors will stay for critical infrastructure

Pro tip: If you’re using openwrt or other managed network components don’t forget to automatically back those up too. I almost had to reset my openwrt router and having to reconfigure that from scratch sucks.

If logging is down and there’s no one around to log it, is it really down?

That won’t work in most cases, all https traffic isn’t cached unless you mitm https which is a bad idea and not worth it.

Only cache updates those are worth it and most have a caching server option.

Infrastructure diagram? No! In this homelab we refer to the infrastructure hyperdodecahedron.

I have set up Tor secret services in the past to do this.

The service exposed the SSH port which could then be accessed from anywhere as long as you can connect to Tor.

I don’t know anything about Talos but can you try it in a VM with a test disk? That should answer all your questions and show you possible pitfalls.
