I always a bit shy asking for support in general or talking about funding FOSS projects in particular, I didn't even have a direct link to support page on my site.

Today I realized that it's not ok and from now on I need to be more open and explicit on the problem of FOSS funding. I started with updating my site index page.

I genuinely grateful to all the people, who already bolster me and related projects no matter how hard it was to find a support page :)

I got a RaspPi Zero 2 W with an attached 5 TiB HDD at my parents home.

Previously I used #restic with a SASS storage provider and it worked reliably, although remote access was slower than I would've liked.

Now I'm looking at #borgbackup. Both server and client setup will be automated with #ansible.

Currently I'm evaluating playbooks:
