The Wrong Way to Switch Operating Systems on Your Server
`progress` (https://github.com/Xfennec/progress) and similar can be very helpful too depending on the backup utilities being used (in my case often involving rsync) even if the processes normally have everything set to quiet so no progress information is automatically forthcoming.

Is it better to use cat, dd, pv or another procedure to copy a CD/DVD?
pv's progress display is very useful in many contexts, it has been one if the first things I make sure is installed on a new system for years, though I have recently come across https://github.com/Xfennec/progress which is brilliant for some times when pv is not an option or when you want to watch the status of several things which aren't convenient to arrange together via tmux/byobu. Or just for when you forget to use PV and don't want to cancel to change the command.

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
In past threads, people have mentioned enjoying my Tarsnap (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap) code. I personally think that the spiped (https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped) code is even better.

I love the idea of tarsnap but a stable release hasn't been released since 2017. Is there a modern alternative, or is tarsnap actually still usable and secure?
I prefer Vorta myself ( https://github.com/borgbase/vorta ) as it also has incremental and encrypted backups, as well as being a fraction of the price, but tarsnap seems to still be in very-slow development: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap , so I'd say from a quick look it's still trustworthy.

What's your backup strategy?
Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.
