    MediaWiki used on Arch Linux websites (read-only mirror)

  • for learning linux in general the arch wiki and gentoo wiki are probably your greatest assets and for Debian related questions the Debian Communities Page is probably a good place to start(including r/debian of course🤗)

  • Back In Time

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

  • People need to stop recommending rsync for backups. Some reasonable, time-tested software suggestions are Back In Time, Borg+Vorta, and my minimal CLI choice, rdiff-backup.

  • 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.
