I really enjoy alacritty, it provides you a terminal with nice defaults.

For a bit more base functionality, such as tabs or split panes, you could look into kitty or wezterm for example.

In the case of alacritty you’d need to look at other tools such as tmux or zellij for multi-terminal workspaces in one window.

Don’t think I’ve seen fish shell yet

You can use the f-droid store to find them. Its a play store alternative.

You’re welcome! For tmux check out pain control, gives some alternative and maybe easier to remember bindings.

Same here, really didn’t have the feeling I was doing much fruitful work at all. So much energy spent in meetings, and political nonsense.

It’s refreshing to just get to focus on getting things done.

It is! Nu looks really cool, haven’t gotten around to migrating yet myself.

Quit my corporate job for a small place with a mission to do good. Never going back to bigtech.

• jq - parse json
• Lazygit - UI for git
• Lazydocker - ui for docker
• pass - command line password store
• zellij - tmux alternative
• starship - terminal customization
• tealdear - tldr in rust
• rm-improved - rm, but moves stuff to /tmp

It’s easy to set up and use, I’d recommend it.

You can sync easily to another device on the same network via ssh for example. You can also call a script automatically after the backup has been created and do your custom stuff in there.

I’m really liking borgmatic myself as a wrapper for Borg.

EDIT: I don’t have experience doing full OS backups. I only make backups of specific directories.

They’re both good at what they do. Personally I switched from pihole to adguard, only because adguard let’s you use wildcard domains. This lets me point all of *.mydomain.com to one IP address.

You have full control over what you block and whitelist. So if anything goes wrong, you can just troubleshoot it and whitelist if needed. If all fails, you can always (temporarily) turn off all blocking in pihole.

My solution for a power efficient setup was to split it up: all the services I use but don’t need all the time, like jellyfin for example, I host on my nas. I only turn that on when I need it.

The stuff that’s running all the time, like home assistant, addblocker, etc, I run on a raspberry pi.

Might not work for everyone, but I’m happy with it.

I do exactly the same. I do not have a lot of data I feel a need to backup. I have a nightly job that zips and then encrypts my data, then rclones it to off site storage.

I have one 3B running adguard and a wireguard vpn server. Another 4B doing the same, plus kitchenowl and home assistant.

alt+z for saving, I guess?

You are absolutely right, this is way better. Thanks!

I always use tldr for these things, super handy to have.

Software might actually stop developing new bugs. People will stop getting frustrated with technology, and world peace will happen.

How linux works is a nice read, tells a bit about what’s going on under the hood.
