It is always a little strange for me to see the flag of Mozambique. I don’t really know anything about the country, but the flag with its AK47 in there has the vibe of a terrorist organization.

Nice, seems like it was a good decisions. Do you miss anything from the Xilinx world?

I am very much pro open-source, but these are highly specialized tools for a very niche market so it is atleast somewhat understandable. Unfortunately we are not blessed with open source toolchains like software developers even though there are some steps in that direction. Because it is such a niche market, it is like the software space from 20-30 years ago. Proprietary tools and compilers were pretty common back then and for some microcontroller architectures outside of ARM and RISCV they still are I think.

What do you mean by this kind of shit? I am in the FPGA space for quite some time now but I don’t think something like this happened before. When did you leave and what are you using now? I agree with you on the support. If there isn’t an (unpaid) member in the community forum or on some other platform you are pretty much fucked. I never used another vendor, so I can’t say if it is different there though.

The Walking Dead was also the first thing that came to my mind. I think I eventually stopped in season 7-8 or something and never went back.

Recently I was thinking about rewatching the first season. Have you watched it again?

Cool, I didn’t even know about that. That’s a great gift.

I like the tools from Wera and Knipex.

Things like the AUR in Arch Linux are also susceptible to this. About a year ago there were malicious versions of popular browsers e.g. firefox-patch-bin or librewolf-fix-bin in the AUR. As others have said, NPM has a huge attack surface because it is practically used by everyone which is probably why it is targeted a lot more.

I am not really the target of your question, because I am not a developer of something in particular. I mainly use git to backup and track my Linux and Docker config. There are a few unfinished side-projects as well, but nothing really interesting. I personally chose Gitlab over Codeberg mainly because of the ability to create private repos. The repos don’t contain any private info but I don’t saw any real benefit for the general public either. However, this decision was a couple of years ago.

As of late, I want to use git also for other stuff that potentially contains data I am not willing to share. Therefore I want to setup my personal Forgejo instance. I like the idea of Codeberg. My goal is to host everything I really want to keep private on my personal instance and move everything else to Codeberg.

Purely from reading about the different tools Restic is also my favourite at the moment. I mainly want to use it so my client devices can do backups on my NAS and maybe at some later stage backup my NAS to a NAS at a family members home just like you do.

Good point. I was going to set 1-2 of them up and find out what suits my needs.

Started my self-hosting journey a couple of year ago with a Raspberry Pi, OpenMediaVault and a couple of Docker containers. This week i finally managed to move my Adguard Home container and my DNS setup over to my NAS, which was the final thing that kept the Pi running. I also synched all the data to the NAS.

The next step I am trying to figure out is a decent backup setup. Read about Borg, Restic and Kopia, but haven’t decided on one of them yet. What are you guys using?
