Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
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.

Duplicity
+1 for restic. I tried various solutions and restic is the best by far. So fast, so reliable.
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.
https://apps.gnome.org/DejaDup/ is using this as backend. It also has a experimental option to use https://github.com/restic/restic instead of duplicity.

The Drive Stats of Backblaze Storage Pods
I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3268#issuecomment-78...
On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.
I use B2 as the backend for my personal backups using restic (which I would highly recommend https://github.com/restic/restic). I don't have a ton of data to backup, so even with hourly backups (restic only backs up when there are changes) I have ~100GB and it runs me a whopping $0.60/month. I almost feel guilty when I get the bill. But the minute I need to pick a storage platform in a professional context I know what my first choice will be.
(I am _not_ affiliated with Backblaze in anyway. Just a happy user)

Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now
More importantly you have the possibility to get lossless music files.
If you download from bandcamp then currently only in flac and backup the results with programs like restic [1] just as you should back up all other data.
You should always make a second copy fo any further changes if you rewrite tags or encode to other formats like mp3.

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Best configuration for bare hypervisor distro FOR DESKTOP VMs
Are you sure you need a full on virtual machine, rather than a system snapshotting tool like Snapper or Timeshift?

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
I would highly advise installing timeshift for making backups. There have been times where I thought I was doing something benign and I basically screwed something up major. Using timeshift you can easily revert back and it saves you from so much pain

Properly backing up a running Linux system
Can't say much about your tar command, but if you did not checked it out already, take a look at Timeshift for system snapshots and rollback of changes. afaik you can just restore a snapshot on a blank drive. as far i see you can backup and restore EFI / boot as well. but never used it myself so can't say much about it.

What are you doing for your backups?
I use backintime to back up files in my home directory, and use Timeshift for backing up system settings (really useful if you're messing around with your grub and fuck something up, speaking from experience).

Some discoveries from investigating the SteamOS recovery image
For casual users, not really any benefit to using btrfs unless you want to use this https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift (and even then you don't need it, it just helps)
- Windows 11 and its forced "telemetry" made me switch to Linux. And I have to say - it's great. So why the hell isn't more people switching? And what's your fav distro?
