I'm still procrastinating on figuring out the majority of my backup solution, mainly because I get overwhelmed too. But there is a backblaze personal docker template on the Unraid Community App store. You could do one way syncthing and have that backup to backblaze.
The only thing I currently backup offsite is an encrypted archive of my paperless-ngx content. I use rclone for that.
I used to pump gas in NJ at a Wawa. I got paid around $9 an hour in the early 2000s. At Wawa at least, the gas attendants get paid the same as the inside staff.
Sorry my wording was ambiguous. I meant I don't want to get rid of them. I still have an old Palm Pre and Pixi around somewhere too. And an HP Touchpad and Zune...
I'm not nostalgic for much, but I love my old underdog tech. Lol
I've got a Mikrotik RB4011, and I couldn't be happier with it. It definitely has a learning curve, but once I got it setup how I want, it just works. I'm sure some other options have the same feature, but one of my favorite things is a script I have run every night that emails me a backup.
I've only ever had to use it a few times, but having a recent backup of my router on hand all the time is nice.
Almost every time I use Windows, i hit F12 to try and pull down Yakuake to do something quick, and I get annoyed every time. Now that i'm more comfortable with it, the terminal is just better for a lot of things.
I really want to give NixOS a try when I have some time to learn. I've been on Arch for a couple years now, and I'm ready for a change. Lol.
Any places you recommend going to learn how to get started in addition to the official docs?
