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.

Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale
Two things I want to try this month are:
- Backup software that continuously monitors changes but runs only once a month
-
Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
I'm using rsnapshot. It's based on rsync. It's fully automated and I make daily and monthly backups backup to my NAS. The biggest benefit of rsnapshot is that it uses hardlinks. So only changed files are backed up. It doesn't have a GUI though, you have to set a configuration file.

Criticize my backup strategy
For backups, I'm using rsnapshot.

Newbie - How to (image) Backup a rasberry PI
It's been a while but I think rsnapshot is what you're looking for.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
The description sounds like it does largely the same job as rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/). What does yours do differently from rsnapshot?
- Redundancy and bit-rot protection on a single drive
-
The various scripts I use to back up my home computers using SSH and rsync
His backup rotation algorithm is very close to what rsnapshot does.
-
Which service to backup your important files ?
rsnapshot for data. ansible [1] for config management no backing up configuration is not needed, just revert configuration changes in ansible and re-apply. Occasional libvirt VM snapshots before risky operations.

Ask HN: How do you manage your important personal documents and other data?
> where do you store and backup your personal data
A RAID array of physical drives in a local PC.
> How do you run your backups?
rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/) driven from cron.
> How do you manage encryption keys, etc?
Stored in files on plural disks plus a printed to paper backup.
> What considerations drove your solution?
Must be 100% under my control -- "someone else's disks" must not ever be the primary backup medium.

Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.
There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:
-
Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
seconding rsync and syncthing.
the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.
rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.
this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/
-
Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?
rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

All I want for Christmas is
The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.

INKY Frame + Raspberry Pi for a simple photo frame -- am I over my head?
If you do plan to use Dropbox have a look at https://rclone.org/ to get the files to the Pi.
-
Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
https://rclone.org is a very effective storage shim. You'd still want to limit supported backends to provide a smooth UX. There are binaries for the major OSs (including BSDs, Plan9, and Solaris). They have Android builds but they are not first class (yet). Unfortunately I do not see any support for iOS.
