When talking about backups, I often get asked how I do them. My historical tooling was Restic then sent to some S3 bucket and rsync.net, but that has changed quite a lot. Nowadays, my stack goes as follows: Borg Backup (via Vorta) Borgbase for remote backups Local network NAS storage Local hard drive And that’s really it. Do note that this is only valid for my workstations, servers are backed up differently, still with Restic, and with different rules. Usually, I have my backups run daily, with…
Over the years, I’ve come to a realisation: I like boring software. What do I mean by that? The most important thing for me in computing is reliability, for lots of people, that’s boring. I don’t care about flashy features any more, I want the thing I take notes every day in to just work. Same with my OS. I went from customizing old versions of Windows, to over-riced Linux desktops, to basically Fedora on all defaults (except wallpaper). I don’t want my software to suddenly start talking to me,…
As is tradition, the Resonite panel and meetup will happen at Eurofurence 30. You can meet team members as well as community members there. If you’re attending EF, don’t forget to drop by and say hello! It will take place on Saturday, August 22, at 11:00, in room CCH X 9-11 (first floor). Can’t wait to see you all there. Additionally, there will be a special episode of the Purple Hour done in the evening of the 18th, near the CCH. If you’ll be there, don’t hesitate to show up, this probably…
Today, we’re going to have a look at the CI/CD pipelines for Resonite, and admittedly, I’m at my third attempt at writing this blog post. I started writing this post back when work started on the pipelines, trying to keep it in sync. However, while I was adding more features, and patching others, I didn’t have the time to update the draft which ended up completely desynchronized from the pipelines themselves. The release of the Unity renderer as an Open-Source project also changed plans quite a…
After being banned from Wikipedia a while ago, archive[.]today‘s owner seemingly continued to completely lose it. Today, a new one: visiting any related domains is redirecting me to the known Russian disinfo website “RT News”. Accessing any related domain, in this instance archive[.]ph, will return the following page: <noscript> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://stolidityseashellshotter.com/ezrsb5dd1268e6f6ebaad42916d5d87b8133c0816d3e7"/> </noscript> <script>…
Previously, I reviewed the AnyTone AT-D168UV, and today, time for its big brother, the AT-D890UV. The beast. Now, those two are really similar, they boast the same specs in all aspects but one: the AT-D890UV ships with a GPS, allowing for APRS and satellite pass calculations more easily. So far, it’s been working out fairly well, when going outside, I set the APRS reporting to a delay to avoid having to press the “send” button myself. Other than that, it works as well as the AT-D168UV. I’ll…
Following the previous post about my brand new media library, I’ve decided to dig a bit further on an idea I had a long time ago, but gave up on implementing: scrobbling my listens on LastFM. I tried to scrobble music years ago, but always ended up forgetting to use a player capable of doing it, and had some issues doing from my phone. It’s after switching to Navidrome that I’ve discovered the software will actually scrobble to LastFM and ListenBrainz for you, as shown in the documentation. Now…
After a few years of collecting music on various platforms, mostly Bandcamp, my music libraries have grown to some degree. My remote music library (sitting behind a Navidrome instance) is about 100Gb; the local one being roughly the same size. The majority are stored in lossless formats like FLAC or WAV with other formats in the mix, which brings the size up quite a bit. While talking to a friend, the Opus recommended settings page was mentioned and I started toying around with ffmpeg to see…
Recently, I’ve started playing some RuneScape again, most particularly RuneScape 3, and so far, been enjoying it. If you’ve known me for a very long time, you probably remember that I used to contribute to a small RuneScape-related project, OpenRSC. That project is basically a re-creation of oldschool RuneScape as an Open-Source project, mainly written […]
From April 8 to April 10, I was at the Laval XR event, in Laval, France to represent Yellow Dog Man Studios and Resonite. Here are some of the highlights of the event; even though it was mainly business-focused, there were still some wonderful demos shown around. Despite being sent there to represent Resonite and […]
A little-known feature of GitLab-flavoured Markdown is GLQL (GitLab Query Language). It basically allows you to create neat dynamic lists for work items. For instance, the above table is created like so: It will basically display as a table all work items in the “general stuff” group assigned to my user. Within the query, you […]
When I moved on my own half a decade ago, one of the hardest tasks for me was to start budgetting properly and actually putting money aside. Up until yesterday, I was using Homebank to help with that, it’s simple to use, however doesn’t exactly scream at you when you go over budget. Enters Actual, […]
With the MMC 2026 winner announcement yesterday, the embargo over Resonite staff promoting specific MMC entries has ended. This means I can finally publish this blog series on some entries I found interesting, cool, or funny. For this first one, we have Resolaundromat, by Harmonica and Noble, with help from Spark and Yosh. The premises […]
For my own documentation website, I’m using Obsidian Publish. I like it because it’s just super easy to use. I go in my regular vault, modify stuff, hit a single button and done, it’s published. There’s also the option to use a custom domain, however, Obsidian cannot manage it directly or get SSL certificates for […]
