  Yeah, because state censorship is so fucking innovative and progressive

  Had the same problem and someone guided me to the hugging face documents/tutorials.
  They are quite nice to get a local model up and running, play around with it, how to fine tune it and connect it with agents

  Haven’t tried much, but the articles were exactly what I was looking for
  Hope it helps you as well

  Yeah, I usually have my external/portable monitor with me on business trips for work, and the Steam Deck for after-work relaxation. Using my external monitor with it, and don’t have to use my work laptop seems like a major plus in my book

  Well, for backups this still sounds kinda nice

  Tape backups are rather slow as well - at least as far as I know. The professional stuff was always out of my league monetary wise.

  If someone has a good alternative, I’m absolutely up for it.

  Currently I’m using a local server with just a RAID1 to mirror important files on my workstation and those (incremental) backups are getting encrypted and uploaded to a cloud drive.

  But for really large data amounts, this isn’t really practical. So I only use this route for business documents, invoices, etc.
  But for large data like code, I’m currently only doing a local mirroring (although on multiple devices), so if my office burns down, I’ll lose quite much - at the moment I’m lucky, because I can push my code changes to a customer git mirror, so I should be fine on that front for now.

  But still, I loathe the day, I really need to restore from my cloud backup.
  Maybe I should do some dry runs periodically, to verify my restore path works. But just like server stuff, I really don’t like to touch it that much o⁠:⁠-⁠)

  I’m currently using BORG (with Vorta) to backup everything locally and distribute it to my server and the cloud.

  If anyone has a better idea, I’d be really grateful…

  Doing periodically hard disk backups and giving them to a partner company (while I keep theirs in my safe) seems to not really work out in the long term, as I’m often on business trips and our exchanges got more seldom over time…

  None, but both are sticky
