Never recording videos… That is outrageous ;) Interesting train of thought, though. Video is the main data hog on my drives. It’s easy to mess up the compression. At the same time is combines audio, image and time in one easy to consume file. Personally, i would miss it.

Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call “satisfaction” https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I’ll do next. Thanks again 👍

“The strength is in the diversity of the mediums” I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks

Good advice. My off-site is my brother’s place.

Checked it out, thanks. I have to figure out, how it compares to my rsync Script

So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?

I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time. I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.

That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something “on the shelf”. Thank you for the advice though :)

Ugh, sounds icky. Thanks for the advice:)

https://www.ganttproject.biz This one is nice

Had no problem with Linux mint 21.x.

In m opinion, practicing with real life problems is the best teacher. There are some ways to cut and convert videos, audio and images via terminal. Maybe there is still a way to enrich or streamline your workflow with that. Maybe a script which will prepare the folder of your next project. Also, xdotools let you automate a lot of sometimes tedious routines.

Interesting, this one needs definitely a deep research from me. I love rss feeds, at the same time the summaries tend to be click baity. I was fantasizing to get the full articles and use ollama to boil them down. Remove all the bloat text.

I saw in the feature list the possibility to play yt videos directly in miniflux. What is your typical use Case miniflux<->YouTube wise?

Thank you, I will look into KWin.

Turns out, it is awesome and does more than I need. I already move a lot of my applications with xdotool to prediscribed positions and sizes, via hotkeys, which start some scripts. Now I found out, it also can move them across virtual desktops. Nice :)

Is it possible to “save” those sessions between reboots? That would be awesome.
