14 days agoI’m self hosting this, and it works pretty well. It can be integrated with Google Calendar with some effort, and it works with CalDAV (which I’m using through NextCloud).

You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

I use https://sx.catgirl.cloud/ so I’m already primed to have anime catgirls protecting my webs.
17·1 month agoYou′re walking in the woods
There’s no one around and your phone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them
(Written in Rust)
They’re following you, about 30 feet back
They get down on all fours and break into a sprint
They’re gaining on you
“Written in Rust!”
You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around
They’re almost upon you now
And you can see there’s blood on their face
My God, there′s blood everywhere!
Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)
They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)
Welcome to the Fediverse! Thanks for the post, I love your authorial tone!

I know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I’ve just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it’s name. There’s also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.
No, they don’t, I pulled it out of my butt. I rewrote my original draft and that slipped in. NVME wouldn’t make sense unless you were powering them up every few months for updates.
The other thing is if I get hit by a bus and no one can work out how to decrypt a backup or whatever.
Documentation, documentation, documentation. No matter what system you have, make sure your loved ones have a detailed, image-heavy, easy to follow guide on how restorations work - at the file level, at the VM level, at whatever level you are using.
That being said, DVDs actually have quite a short shelf life, all things considered. I’d be more inclined to use a pair of archival strength USB NVME drive, updated and tested routinely(quarterly, yearly, whatever makes sense). Or even an LTO tape, if you want to purchase the drive and some tapes.
You can put your backups in something like VeraCrypt. Set an insanely long password, encoded in a QR code, printed on paper. Store it in the same secured location you store your USB drives (or elsewhere, if you have a security posture).
You may also consider, if money is not a concern, a cloud VPS or other online file storage, similarly encrypted. This can provide an easy URL to access for the less tech-savvy, along with secured credentials for recovery efforts. Depending on what your successors might need to access, this could be a very straightforward way to log into a website and download what they need in an emergency.
This is Lemmy, not the other place. Please be kinder. No need to abuse people trying to help, especially when OP did mention they wouldn’t mind learning if its easy enough.
