I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:

Save one backup each day for the past week, then save one each week for the past month, then save one each month for the past year.

That way I have granual backups for anything recent, and the further back in the past you go the less frequent the backups are to save space

I also really appreciate these, a bunch of cool projects I haven’t heard of before this week

I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool

The PDF multitool I’ve been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords

Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha

English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though

You can even hook up tachiyomi to your home stuff through something like komga as another source

I let syncing run in the background all the time, the app has a ton of settings to configure when it runs so it respects battery/data usage

Android reports the app has used less than 1% of my battery in the last 19 hours
