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

    A python script that syncs the movies, shows and ratings between trakt and Plex (without needing a PlexPass or Trakt VIP subscription)

  • This used to be a problem for me until I turned on the sync feature they added or use Plex trakt sync if you have privacy concerns.

  • backblaze-personal-wine-container

    Run the Backblaze personal backup client in a docker container

  • 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.

  • snapraid-btrfs

    Script for using snapraid with btrfs snapshots

  • Add btrfs into the mix with snapraid-btrfs and now you have atomic snapshots and don't have to worry about new writes corrupting your snapshot data for that missing drive. And then automate it with snapraid-btrfs-runner, which will automatically check if more than X files were deleted, run the sync, run a scrub, and email you the result. After all that I use Borg Backup to backup content I generate (stuff I can't just download again) to a PC I have at my dad's house off-site. Which has already come in handy when a logical volume for my container data destroyed itself for some unknown reason (that was data on a RAID1 baked LVM volume with XFS as the filesystem).
