While GNOME 50 is rightfully being celebrated today, it reminded me that I never posted about Déjà Dup 50.

No big changes there, just a nice collection of bug fixes.

But there are some exciting bits of news in Debian/Ubuntu land: Debian finally got the package back in “testing” (it had been blocked by some old Rclone security issues) and Ubuntu finally got Restic into main and switched the default backend to Restic.

So stating with Ubuntu 26.04 there will be a gradual uptick in Restic backups, and hopefully happier Déjà Dup users.

I built https://theapplottery.com to help indie devs get traction and reviews.

Getting someone to review your app can feel like pulling teeth, so the idea is simple: devs help devs. Submit your app and each cycle a random app gets featured.

Hoping if enough apps get added organically, the reach grows beyond just the developers submitting.

Would love feedback!
