  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Back In Time

    Back In Time - An easy-to-use backup tool for GNU Linux using rsync in the back

  • Regarding mistake nr. 3: Get a second drive (even an old HDD suffices) and check out https://github.com/bit-team/backintime. This can save you from sweating whenever you run `rm` commands :)

  • TimeShift

    Discontinued System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.

  • There is also a similar thing for system backup, see https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, although this might not help if you kill the boot loader, just to reset when you break your OS through a package upgrade or so...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
