Simply because it's an awesome backup client which just works smoothly - even as a Flatpak application. Including doing backup jobs automatically in the background.

                                                                                                                                                                                          It is an incredibly easy backup application to use, compared to most other alternatives. It backs up the data you would expect it to backup. And accessing your backup data is super easy.

                                                                                                                                                                                          This is simply how a backup tool should work. Simple to install, setup and configure ("Backup" tab in the app). Runs easily automatically (visit the "Schedule" tab). And super easy to dive into your backup data ("Archive" tab)

                                                                                                                                                                                          If you're on a platform where PikaBackup is supported, look no further! And the really nice icing is that it is just a GUI wrapper around @borgbackup. So you have more ways to access your backup data, even if PikaBackup would helping you out (like, if your GUI desktop is inaccessible).

                                                                                                                                                                                          And since PikaBackup has saved me a few of times, making it easy to restore files I "destroyed" ... I just felt they really deserved a donation today. PikaBackup has saved my time and quite some extra work.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Thanks a lot @sophie w/team! You're doing an outstanding work!

I've been a sysadmin longer, having started at the NM Coalition for Literacy in 2000 while finishing college on the "long plan." I pivoted in 2018 back to the private sector and then back again to education in 2022. I've maintained this side company/DBA, Haack's Networking, throughout the entirety and I still have clients to this day that I began with in the early 2000s.

                                                                                                                                                                                                ✍️ I've always been struck by the prohibitive cost of software. As a young kid, I remember my father purchased me MetroWorks CodeWarrior for learning C for my LC475 68K mac. I read somewhere in 1992 that I should learn C so that's why I asked for it. Over those next few months, it's hard to explain the frustration I felt at trying to keep the abstractions separated. Open firmware, vs. mac's OS at that time, vs., the IDE and C I was supposed to be learning. It helped at disambiguating abstractions, but was useless at teaching me C. I still suck at C. The package was pretty costly nevertheless.

                                                                                                                                                                                                📻️ While in my early days as a sysadmin, I remember the Adobe suites, Microsoft suites, etc., that we were obligated to keep up to date and purchase for our non-profit. We also had tons of macs, 5 laser printers, early flat panel displays, an early NAS, and a hard firewall (Sonic something). It was not sustainable for this non-profit whatsoever. After the prior Director left - who I still consider a mentor and friend to this day - others took over who made an effort to reduce spending and keep the tech lifts in line with reality. It was slow and painful, but/and I learned that costly is not better.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                However, there is a more insidious problem: LLMs amplify bias, so using them for analysis with any regularity could ruin projects, given enough time. I think that is just what they are likely to do: they will shift the code of independent projects in broken or unhealthy ways because that is what the oligarch designing the LLM prefers. The 'fixes' they offer will increasingly demand trade-offs that compromise the independence, security or viability of independent projects.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                The problem is, when we say 'No' to these trade-offs, the LLMs (esp. 'agentic') are poised to conduct PR offensives in the form of issues and pull requests against those of us who refuse too often.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                The saner approach might be to just say 'No' to all of it. Or at least to impose strict limits such as special 'LLM recon' periods lasting only days or weeks, where the devs are specially focused on dealing with LLM input and its biases. Then shut down the process at the end of the period. (No, I do not think that restricting anytime LLM use to trusted individuals will work; that is just a recipe for compromising your trusted devs.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I worry about a world where people are deliberately discouraged from understanding even the basics of the computers they depend on. Where everything happens inside gated communities and walled gardens, and the manufacturer (or the operating system vendor, or, Bastet forbid, a government) decides what you may install, change, create, or even understand.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Computers are wonderful things. They can be tools of creativity, curiosity, communication, education and liberation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  But only if they remain free, accessible, understandable, and truly under the control of the people using them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A computer you are not allowed to control is increasingly becoming something done to you, rather than a tool that belongs to you.
