He addresses it in another video, but there isn’t a single rights holder. There are 3 that each own different parts of the game. He tried contacting them but none responded.
It goes beyond documentation too - it allows me to migrate to new hosts or to easily automate upgrading the OS release version.
I have a docusaurus site for my homeland and I have ansible and terraform generate files for the docs so I don’t have to record anything. Some of the stuff I note down:
Great! I just tiled a part of my basement (first time doing tiles) because we replace the hot water tank with a tankless.
Since it mounts on the wall I had to remove the old cracked tiles under the tank and put in new ones. It was pretty straightforward but I found wiping the grout to be really messy and not as easy as it seemed in the videos. Using the tile saw as also daunting but I got it done.
You could try something S3 based, and do backups by date?
For example, export a subset of the DB and name it accordingly (ie. 2025-04-to-2025-01.tar).
If you do that there are a lot of pretty cheap S3 providers (like Wasabi).
S3 interfaces nicely with RCLONE so you can move providers etc and pull it really quickly.
As an aside, when I looked into something like this the thing that made me hesitate was the time and cost for retrieval from cold storage (like amazon glacier) outweighed the savings.
I think the key is you need to find FOSS software that works for you before migrating your OS. Most FOSS software will run on windows and sometimes MAC.
1-2 and 3 will be hard. You can find many tools that do something similar but it won’t be perfect. There are a few different music managers, and for office libreoffice is the go to.
try digikam, it supports all OSes
googling “Fujitsu snap scanner Linux” yielded a few blog articles on the matter. Seems it should be supported.
Something like this is really hard to make a gui for. I suppose a GUI would only be useful for discovering config values?
Either way, a gui would likely look like YAST on OpenSuse.
