• What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?

  Dar is the only tool I know of that supports incremental backups to untrusted remote storage. All the remote sees are giant encrypted blobs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Uploading encrypted zfs volume to cloud

  DAR is a linux tool that does incremental updates after a snapshot: http://dar.linux.free.fr/. Source: about 1 year ago

• How many of you have used ‘tar’ for what it was actually made for?

  I have also used dar ( http://dar.linux.free.fr/ ) instead of tar for recent disk archives. Source: over 1 year ago

• Post your favorite programs

  Dar - Like tar, but can do incremental and differential backups with rsync-style binary diffs, only archiving what's changed (and without trusting mtimes like tar --newer does). Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is your preferred software to back up your data, and why?

  Write compressed, encrypted, sliced archives of the lvm snapshot to HDDs mounted via USB using dar Dar will pause to change HDD every few TiB. Source: about 2 years ago

• Calendar advice for home + work?

  I use an app called Fantastical (https://flexibits.com/fantastical). I believe it is macOS/iOS only, but there might be alternatives with work with other systems. Basically, I add in my work Office365 account and my personal iCloud and it shows everything together. Whenever I'm making an appointment, I just check that rather than my Outlook calendar.

• Sick of Fastmails subpar iOS app

  Looks like most of your issues are with the calendar. For this I highly recommend an app dedicated to this, like Fantastical, BusyCal, Calendar366 or even a native ios calendar app. These apps have clients for ios, macos and even watchos. Lots of config options and nice features and timely notifications. Source: over 1 year ago

• Productivity apps - recommendations needed

  I personally have been trying out Fantastical and it literally is life changing doing everything in a calendar. You can make a recurring event or something and have it notify you whenever you want. The time limit can be achieved by just creating the duration. Although I'm unsure about the "mark as done" functionality. Source: over 1 year ago
