Tbh, that’s partially the reason why I opened your thread: to find recommendations lol. I’ve been procrastinating and haven’t found some good alternatives yet. But looking at what others are responding with, it’s probably best to give those a try.
Duplicati is a good backup tool, period. As in, it’s literally just good at backups. When it came to restoring, it took me I think 3-4 days to restore around 419 GB of files.
I highly recommend you ditch Duplicati and look for something else. Or if you manage to figure out a fix, try restoring your files before you actually need it.
And another tip is that when creating your backup, you should copy the database file Duplicati creates onto a separate drive. For whatever reason, Duplicati puts its database files on the same drive you’re trying to backup. So when it comes time to restore, it wants you to grab the database file from your dead/corrupted storage drive.
I don’t see a competitor getting made.
That’s the neat part. Why make it if you could just buy it? All it takes is for a rich authoritarian asshat with too much money and a desire to push an agenda.
That would result in a mass exodus of their users and potentially result in their competitor popping up. Imagine the 2023 Reddit API controversy, but things going a lot worse for Reddit. Had Reddit taken a more extreme approach and made it entirely impossible to use any 3rd party apps instead of permitting workarounds for users to modify their apps, then they would’ve lost a lot of relevancy and would actually have suffered financially.
The smart way to do this would be to slowly implement anti-user practices over a long period of time, and let your corporate bootlickers gaslight the rest of the users into thinking that everything is fine and that they’re only overreacting.
This doesn’t answer OP’s question. Do you have a link to it?
And why do you need to set your VPN to Europe to watch YouTube videos?
Literally 1984.

It’s The Organization! Bring out the microwave, Okabe!
I’m not too familiar with VPNs that offer IPv6 addresses, so I can’t help with that. But I’m curious about why some people want IPv6 addresses. Are there any benefits to having an IPv6 address?
Unfortunately, Reddit has learned from their mistakes and restricted the ability for moderators to lock down their own subreddits. So any protest actions will not be as effective as 2023.
And just recently, Reddit announced that you can no longer generate your own API keys and will need to request permission from Reddit themselves. This is the final nail in the coffin for 3rd party apps, as back in 2023 you could still generate your own API keys and continue using 3rd party apps. The silence in the public outrage against this is deafening.
Instead of taking drastic actions affecting the most amount of people, Reddit is taking smaller actions that will slowly kill off things they don’t like. This will limit the outrage, and at the same time, they get to achieve what they want.
What benefit does this have over a Zigbee dongle on Amazon that’s cheaper? Would the advantage be that this is a 3-in-1 dongle?
Depends on the community. I’ve met some very helpful noob-friendly developers who recognize you’re a noob and will use simpler terms to guide you through the process, and passive aggressive assholes that’ll ignore your messages the very second they figure out you’re a noob. Even though they were literally just talking to you seconds before.
As long as they don’t F up the price of the Steam Machine, then this would be wonderful for both the gaming and Linux communities.
I wasn’t aware Nyaa was unmaintained. What happened on Nyaa?
