Since all the search engines have gone to shit, I'll resort to the old-fashioned way of finding information: Asking people.
So, what's the easiest, most foolproof way to do encrypted offsite #backups on #Linux?
I have a few TB at Hetzner, and a few personal laptops that need automated backups.
The whole thing needs to be fairly foolproof to run (because at least one kid is going abroad for a few months with their laptop), and foolproof to set up up (because it's me setting it up)
@slothrop we've had very good experience with Borg Backup to Hetzner over SSH. Borg is very easy to get started with, can do pruning (as Restic can, but I prefer the former), and is pretty rock solid.
And the most important: backups are encrypted at rest.
@thelinuxEXP@tlenewspodcast the installer for Proton Pass on the AUR seems to be broken on Arch-based distros
Seems to either I have to wait or install for example Alien, oh the bother! I choose to wait, and it is Electron, I suffered enough with Bitwarden so I really hope they ditch Electron
I hate Elon Musk but he is warning since forever about the dangers of A.I., seems like he won more followers
In this one, we have Linux Mint deciding to hide unverified Flatpaks by default (but not apps from the repos, also unofficial?), we have KDE asking you to help them define their goals for the next 2 years, and we have the atrocious Windows recall being already hacked, and Microsoft backing down, making it disabled by default, and adding some security layers (because unencrypted databases are rarely a good idea)
While I am contemplating dual booting with #Linux again here are some of my old desktops. Because as we all know showing your desktop screenshots of Linux is mandatory on all social networks.

Faz um tempo que não uso kde. É só o ícone pinado que tá assim? Se for no menu, tá sem o ícone também? Tenta clicar com botão direito e ver se tem uma opção de editar o lançador, aí seleciona o ícone. Acho que tem também uma opção de editar o menu e que aparece todos os lançadores.
@sjvn be aware that if you need to run outdated versions of PHP, you can't use Rocky or Alma Linux... well at least not without having to jump through additional hoops.
So I've been using KDE Neon for a bit and honestly I absolutely love it!
It has a ton of sane defaults (finally, the first OS that disables that awful "natural direction" scrolling nonsense!!) and even with the stuff that needed tweaking (like desktop scaling) it was able to handle my weird scaling of 115% - GNOME would freak out over such bizarre scaling!
