My backup routine is all over the place. I have several issues with it. I cannot automate it right now, and I have trouble doing off-site backups. I also have a MySQL database that might not be properly backed up, as you probably have to stop the database and do an export, to properly back it up ...

I'd like to make a comprehensive backup solution. My backups are currently using Borg but I'm having issues automating it and making sure I have enough copies in the right places.

Does anybody bullet journal? I've found adding an index and timeline to my journal has made it much more navigable, and allows me to add lots of stuff to it that I wouldn't otherwise. It's a good alternative to a laptop or phone for when I don't have power, and lets me use my fountain pen more ...

Wow.

Yeah, relying on browsers to interact with services is a dangerous thing. We need to start making native apps to use services that can't be handled in simple browsers like Links. Web Outside Of Browsers, though its software uses immature names, may be a good starting point.

Vinyl and DVDs. I like the huge artwork of vinyl, and the experience of spinning a record. DVDs are easy to play and provide enough quality for me.

That said, I actually don't own much physical media, except for religious texts that cannot practically be used in electronic form.

I'm hoping to get my site back on Gemini. Someone added Gemini support to my static site generator, so it should be trivial.

I have an external hard drive that everything gets copied to:

• home directories
• media
• books
• photos

I need to back this hard drive up to another hard drive...

I use Elfeed, the feed reader for Emacs.
