argos-translate-gui VS vorta

This looks like a cool project, I had issues packaging Qt apps with Python for the Argos Translate GUI https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate-gui

Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:

Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.

If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.

I use the Vorta Borg Desktop Client and the backups live on an inexpensive Storage VPS.

If you need to encrypt your backups (or even if you don't) I would suggest borgbackup and vorta, it makes differential backups so each one after the first is only the size of the changes mine are roughly 50 MiB each, so its much faster and space efficient than whole backups using something like tar or rsync.

Since I know that borg backup it is a pretty solid tool I wanted to give it a try and I ended up choosing Vorta to have a nice GUI experience.

Different UI and backend, but would vorta (borg front end) work?

For possible projects, tasks and how to apply, see the official ideas page, ask your questions on IRC or right here on Reddit. We look forward to welcoming you!

A bit like me. Got started setting up a webshop for my first startup and had to learn Apache and PHP.

If anyone with similar skills (Python, Docker, Shell) reads this and looks do get started, do check out our Google Summer of Code projects for this year. You'll get paid and can pick any task in this field: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code...

I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.
