After reading what you wrote and as I have time, being retired… thought I’d look at what you suggested, so now I have Duckdns & WireGuard setup as well, it’s no where as easy as Tailscale. So I wrote a post, rather long 😭 on my blog about setting it up https://www.minty95.com/remote-access-home-assistant-from-your-phone/ Maybe it will help others save time. Thanks for giving me the idea to look into it 👍

No I do not see that as a problem. I think, seeing some of their clients that it’s a reliable company

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price

Use timeshift, easy peasy to set up. It’s saved my bacon a couple of times now, only last week, when the kernel 6.4 came out, but my old nvidia driver wouldn’t work with it. You just jump into tty, run timeshift --restore and chose a previous backup, takes all of ten minutes. I have it doing a back up every day to a second HD, keeping the last five, doesn’t take up much space. I don’t think there’s an easier option than that.

I do a Syu almost every day, I also do a Timeshift snapshot every day. So if ever something is broken I can just boot into TS and reinstall yesterday’s working system. Then I read the forums. That way I can see what breaks the system Only ever needed to that twice because of Nvidia updates (I’m running a very old card)

Yes, it’s pretty a neat appli 👍

At last 😁😁

Okay, at least that gives me an idea, thanks

Yep downloading now 👍👍

I use timeshift, on Arch and a Debian setup . It’s simple to set up, I do a automatic snapshot once a day, so if something breaks, just boot into tty and restore the previous day’s snapshot, takes about five minutes. Not sure why you say ext4 doesn’t work as it does. Haven’t tried the other programs that you talked about
