LiteIDE VS restic

Not common, but worth a mention: I've been using LiteIDE (https://github.com/visualfc/liteide/releases/latest) since Atom + Go dev ceased development.

There is liteide too: https://github.com/visualfc/liteide Is not super amazing but it does the job and since is purely for Go it has a few nice features. And it's very lightweight!

I mostly use VS Code, too (or rather VSCodium), but also recommend you try LiteIDE as it's exceptionally fast.

If this is the kind of thing you are interested in, I would strongly recommend LiteIDE:

http://liteide.org/en/

https://github.com/visualfc/liteide/releases

It's actively developed, FOSS (LGPL), native C++ (Qt), runs on Windows/macOS/Linux, supports go.mod, and uses gocode/gotools for intellisense instead of gopls. It has integrated debugging, go to definition/usages, and some refactoring support.

"technically" https://github.com/visualfc/liteide as that's an IDE

Restic - GitHub

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
