Keelhaven ist eine quelloffene macOS-Menüleisten-App für verschlüsselte, zeitgesteuerte Backups auf externe Datenträger, NAS sowie SFTP- und S3-kompatible-Server. Im Hintergrund setzt das sich in der Beta-Phase befindliche Tool auf das bewährte Restic und vermeidet damit einen Lock-in. Bekanntlich kommt macOS von Haus aus mit einer eigenen Backup-Funktion: der Time Machine. Funktioniert…

novisin: > I found the various UI’s of restic to be either too little or too much Yep, I guess that would be my feeling too if I tried them. The good thing about restic is it’s simple enough that when you need to do something advanced, you end up learning more about your OS or language of choice rather than about restic itself. So I’ve never bothered with external UI tools for restic for personal backups. > It’s very expensive when going up to TB Just in case — the linked Hetzner storage is not S3-compatible, though it can be used with restic/Kopia via SFTP or rclone+WebDAV. This can still be better than rclone+Filen: my point was that your network performance might be limited by rclone’s use of the Filen API rather than the backup tool itself. Hetzner’s own S3-like storage is a bit more expensive. Depending on the use case, Backblaze is probably cheaper for most users — on Hetzner you pay for a whole first TB even if you’re only storing a few GB, while Backblaze pricing is fairer in that sense. Traffic costs on BB can also be optimized. The cheapest S3 storage is probably still iDrive E2 S3 can be cheaper or more expensive than consumer clouds depending on the case. S3-like services justify their pricing with network performance, certificates, and guarantees individuals don’t care about. Consumer clouds, on the other hand, often make you pay for TBs before you actually use them or tools you do not need. That said, some consumer packages can make sense — Google bundles a lot of storage with the Gemini Pro tier, so if I would need this many Gemini tokens, that storage could work for backups even if performance isn’t as good as S3-like services

Acabo de configurar el sistema de backups del meu nou portàtil Ubuntu. He utilitzat `restic` i `rclone` aprofitant que tinc 5TB de Google Drive, gràcies a Google IA Pro. He fet el que la IA m'ha suggerit. He fet totes les preguntes que he pogut a la IA per comprovar que tot està pres en compte, i tot estava pres en compte. Després he demanat a un segon agent, expert en administració de sistemes, que fes una revisió del codi, i ha trobat una sèrie de problemes menors, que ha corregit. Crec que mai he tingut un sistema de backups tan bo configurat en tan poc temps. Amb això, ja tinc una altra peça clau del meu "Oh! Marchy" particular. Em fa això ja l'amo d'una distro? Ah, no, em falta el micro per a fer el pòdcast i anunciar que per fi és l'any del Linux al Desktop. ;-)

CTU researchers found that GOLD SHERWOOD’s The Gentlemen RaaS uses a repeatable post-exploitation playbook with rapid privilege escalation, adaptive tool use, and strong defense evasion to deploy ransomware quickly after access. Affiliates rely on compromised credentials, legitimate tools, and exfiltration utilities like Rclone, Restic, and MinIO Client while targeting VPNs, firewalls, backups, and EDR defenses. #TheGentlemen #GOLDSHERWOOD #Rclone #Restic #Cloudflared
