Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Has anyone successfully recovered photos from a broken Android phone?
Similar here. Termux with restic, so it does deduplication and encryption and such (also compression since a few months but haven't turned it on yet).
On local laptop: run https://github.com/restic/rest-server/ to accept the incoming data, then (if 1234 is the port that rest-server runs on):
user@laptop:~$ ssh -R 1234:localhost:1234 root@phone

How do you guys do backups?
I use restic to a cloud storage provider and restic-server to another nas. I used hyperbackup for a long time but proved to not be flexible enough and I wanted to get away from a proprietary backup that could only be restored on another Synology.

Need help by choosing the right backup-solution... Is there one recommended central tool that can backup the data from my servers?
Have a look at restic and restic-rest-server.

Onpremise cluster backup microk8s
Min.io is just one of the supported storage backends. If you prefer, the restic rest server seems to be supported and might be easier to host. https://github.com/restic/rest-server

Restic 0.13.0
This one is quite unclear:
> We have added checksums for various backends so data uploaded to a backend can be checked there.
What do you mean checksums? All data is already stored in files with as filename the sha256sum of the contents, so clearly it's all already checksummed and can be verified right?
Looking into the changelog entry[1], this is about verifying the integrity upon uploading:
> The verification works by informing the backend about the expected hash of the uploaded file. The backend then verifies the upload and thereby rules out any data corruption during upload. \n\n [...] besides integrity checking for uploads [this] also means that restic can now be used to store backups in S3 buckets which have Object Lock enabled.
Object lock is mentioned in passing (and only in this more detailed info) but this is a big one. S3 docs:
> Object Lock can help prevent objects from being deleted or overwritten for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely.
i.e. ransomware protection. Good luck wiping backups if your backup host refuses to overwrite or delete the files. And you know the files are good because they match their hash.
Extortion is still a thing, but if people would use this, it more-or-less wipes out the attack vector of ransomware. The only risk is if the attacker is in your systems long enough to outlast your retention period. Did anyone say "test your backups"?
For self-hosting, restic has a custom back-end called rest-server[2] for that which supports a so-called "append-only mode" (no overwriting or deleting). I worked on the docs for this[3] together with rawtaz and MichaelEischer to make this more secure, because eventually, of course, your disks are full or you want to stop paying for legacy data on S3, and an attacker could have added dummy backups to fool your automatic removal script into thinking it needs to leave only the dummy backups. Using the right retention options, this attack cannot happen.
Others are doing some pretty cool stuff in the backup sphere as well, e.g. bupstash[4] has public key encryption so you don't need to have the decryption keys as a backup client.

Restic: Backups Done Right
The append-only mode can be implemented using https://github.com/restic/rest-server or services like rsync.net that offer read-only zfs snapshots. Doesnβt solve the asymmetric crypto of course.

What's something self hosted everyone needs to run ?
But how is that better than running the REST server which is also an HTTP-based API? Or is it? I suspect the answer is going to be system dependent but I am curious.

floccus bookmark sync (version 5000002): Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices
- Tab Sync between Browsers
- Floccus β Sync Bookmarks Privately
-
Can Chrome Sync or Firefox Sync be trusted with sensitive data?
There are solutions external to the browsers that work pretty well and where you have control on your data :
Floccus for bookmarks (https://floccus.org/) : it works also on mobile devices : a great plus ! You need only a webdav server (or a Nextcloud account), I use Dave (https://github.com/micromata/dave)
Vaultwarden for the passwords (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)
A huge advantage of this solution is that you can have synchronization also between different browsers and on mobile devices.

Discount for bookmarks app: Bookmarks - Read Later ($8.99 -> $0.99)
I have used things like xsync, raindrop and others over the years and recently started using Floccus (https://floccus.org/) which is free and opensource just does not support Safari. Private bookmarks on my own sync system and can keep any chromium or firefox based browsers bookmarks and tabs synced.

Try floccus if you want to sync between different browsers.
