Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects
Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:
https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.
If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.

What's your backup flow on Mac with Borg like?
I use the Vorta Borg Desktop Client and the backups live on an inexpensive Storage VPS.

To encrypt my system
If you need to encrypt your backups (or even if you don't) I would suggest borgbackup and vorta, it makes differential backups so each one after the first is only the size of the changes mine are roughly 50 MiB each, so its much faster and space efficient than whole backups using something like tar or rsync.

Mounting a remote filesystem over ssh - a story on how I finally managed to backup my phone
Since I know that borg backup it is a pretty solid tool I wanted to give it a try and I ended up choosing Vorta to have a nice GUI experience.

Path to a free, self-taught education in Computer Science
A bit like me. Got started setting up a webshop for my first startup and had to learn Apache and PHP.
If anyone with similar skills (Python, Docker, Shell) reads this and looks do get started, do check out our Google Summer of Code projects for this year. You'll get paid and can pick any task in this field: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code...

For the developers in this subredsit, how is your overall experience with void linux, and how stable would you say it is?
I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

What do you use for VPS backup? Would improved borg setup - pull mode - be enough? Or, do you use something else?
Currently, I'm auto-backing it up with borg (push mode) through wireguard tunnel to NAS behind ISP's CGNAT. The borg takes care of deduplication in SQL file, so incremental update (even in append-only mode) is very small for PostgreSQL dump.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?
