Pika Backup (GUI for borgbackup
) is a great app for backups. It has all the features you might expect from backup software and “just works”.

As long as the game does not depend on Steam APIs for DRM (which is not Valve’s fault), you can absolutely copy over the game files and play it outside of Steam, and even use Proton, although it’s only officially supported in Steam.
Probably not the goal, but a NixOS-based begginer distro could be great, with one app to install all your package and one app to manage all your settings. (I personally really like the idea of having app settings in the “general” settings app). But probably the killer advantage of NixOS is that it’s really hard to break and really easy to fix, which is important for a distro aimed at the general public.
P.S.: Also check out nix-software-center by the same guy.
I’m curious, will that work with Motherboards released until then, or just new motherboards from that point onwards?
I recently disabled Dash to Panel, and installed Pop Shell. I’m loving it so far, using my Trackpad gestures from switching between workspaces. Granted, I don’t really need more than 3 or 4 desktops (Browser, Terminal, Messaging…) and it’s not quite vanilla as I have Pop Shell managing tiling for me (but still pretty close!). I also need to try it with my “docked” workflow, using an external monitor and keyboard shortcuts (as opposed to trackpad gestures).
I guess they have some criteria for security and they don’t want to “ship” features that are below that (SMS is the most insecure you can get).
Still better than iMessage or WhatsApp!
Do they require to have a backdoor into the actual app (on your phone) or into the servers.
I’m not sure how data is stored locally (probably encrypted tho), but some time ago the FBI demanded Signal to give them all of the data they had on a specific account. All they were able to get was the phone number of said account and the account creation date.
I personally really, really like (Docker) containers and I host most of my stuff with it, on a Raspberry Pi and on (free tier) Oracle Cloud VPS’s. I also plan to (re)install Proxmox on a spare old laptop and run some stuff in VMs on that (namely Home Assistant) and might try a NixOS server too.
So really, use both. Use the right tool for the job. And you can also run containers in VMs and even use Ansible to configure everything with playbooks, allowing you to re-run said playbooks when things go wrong.
They used to have that functionality (and I loved it) but they removed it due to it “not being secure enough” for their standards
Signal can absolutely replace WhatsApp, Viber (although I never heard of it before), etc. It supports voice and video calls, and you can even screen share from desktop
I would also add that Lemmy is part of the fediverse, meaning it is federated. Federation means all instances “talk” to all instances (unless they defederate), so you aren’t limited only to the content on one instance (or in some cases not even Lemmy, case in point: I’m posting this from my kbin.social account).
Ohhh…
