My recommendation would be Duplicacy [0]. Code is also on GitHub [1].
It has a paid GUI version, $20 for the first year and $5 for subsequent years with discounts for multiple machines [2]. At least once they've run a promotion for a very cheap lifetime license.
Use it just from the CLI is free.
My setup is pretty simple, Syncthing and Duplicacy (GUI version) run in a docker container on my home server. Everything gets sync'd to the server and then Duplicacy backs it up hourly to a Hetzner Storage Box and BackBlaze B2.
The deduplication is a huge data saver on the cloud storage especially for pictures or videos that may be on multiple computers and different syncthing folders.

stamps | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?
I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0].
It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf.
Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region.
Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard drive occasionally that I keep off site.

The Dragonbox Pyra[0] I've mentioned on hacker news before is a piece of hardware that is just starting to ship it's preorders.
It's an interesting device that's of this form factor. It has an older OMAP5, but it's placed on a replaceable daughter board potentially giving it an upgrade path.

I have this one[0] that works great.
Wendell at Level1Techs does good work and there's even newer ones that can do 8k30.

You can install an SD card.

Maybe the majority of people who pre-ordered these brick sized devices will finally start to received them after they've been "shipping" for 9 months after already being more than a year late.
Thankfully there's more competent companies like Pine64 pushing alternative devices.

At this point I don’t think anyone should be recommending this device over the PinePhone.

The PinePhone is a much better price ($150) and quite a fun toy as the OSes develop to a much more usable state.
stamps | 6 years ago | on: Librem 5 phone shows the cost of being different
$150 for the PinePhone is a lot cheaper. I'm not sure how much cheaper you want it to be.
stamps | 6 years ago | on: Librem 5 phone shows the cost of being different
I have a PinePhone and I've been using as a daily driver. It's pretty rough right now, but all the features are generally there. Within another six months I can see postmarketOS or UBtouch being feature complete.
It's fun to install something like XFCE and have a full blow desktop environment.
For $150, replaceable battery, SD card slot, privacy dip switches, and open source the value is more than there.

Mind sharing the exact system?
stamps | 6 years ago | on: U.S. drinking water widely contaminated with 'forever chemicals': report
Some companies have 1:1, gallon of clean to gallon of waste.
Here's one that's quite popular: https://www.theperfectwater.com/Home-Master-hydroperfection-...

A lot of RO systems come with a sediment filter, carbon filter, and UV as part of the package.
Seems about as close as you can get to completely clean water.
stamps | 6 years ago | on: U.S. drinking water widely contaminated with 'forever chemicals': report
You can get as good as 1:1 clean and waste water using.
Though as you stated it still doesn't solve root cause.

From the article it seems reverse osmosis is up to the task, but the problem is the waste water generated now has concentrated PFAS.

Unfortunately Wireguard doesn't work on PFsense/FreeBSD otherwise I would be using it.
OpenVPN is generally well supported.

You can actually get a devkit that's the full watch (just not sealed/glued shut) and it will ship within a couple days.
stamps | 6 years ago | on: PinePhone Review
The hardware is there. With some work a USB C dock can be plugged in and the phone can be used as a portable work station.
