I wrote up my entire backup strategy for my across FreeBSD and Linux:

- ZFS snapshots with sanoid
- Off-site replication via syncoid to rsync.net (encrypted at rest)
- Proxmox Backup Server fronting Backblaze B2 for VMs
- A Podman trick for backing up RHEL hosts without native packages
- Dead man's switch monitoring
- Quarterly restore tests recorded with asciinema

Real configs included.

Taking the #Fedora 44 Prerelease for a spin on the ThinkPad (Ryzen 7840U / Radeon 780M) and the KDE Plasma Edition is looking absolutely phenomenal!

A few shiny upgrades making me very happy right now:

Plasma Login Manager (PLM) replacing SDDM. 1.25x fractional scaling is finally flawless right from the login screen!

DNF5 + PackageKit integration making Discover incredibly snappy.

Native NTSYNC kernel module loaded and ready for even better performance in Proton gaming.

What the ... ?! The hacker-news "hug of death" today was crazy! 🤯

One of the lighter articles on my blog (https://blog.hofstede.it/shell-tricks-that-actually-make-life-easier-and-save-your-sanity/) made it to the HN start page and generated 8000 requests within 6 hours.

My webserver did easil tolerate that (static site generator ftw!) but Grafana Loki choked on the webserver log, crashing parts of my monitoring infrastructure (needed a limit increase) ..

Amazong to see that people seem to enjoy that content 🙂

New post: shell tricks that aren't exactly secret, but aren't always taught either.

Split into two sections: what works on any POSIX sh (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine...) and what's Bash/Zsh-specific. Because not everyone is on Linux with bash as their login shell.

Things like CTRL+W, $_, pushd/popd, fc, set -euo pipefail caveats, and more.
