Yeah I’m not 100% sure, they claim “special durum wheat variety.”

For the price, from a protein perspective, it would be cheaper to get it elsewhere.

I know felcetti has a few varieties that exceed that number. ~112g for 16g protein.

Twiddler is probably the closest thing I can think of that meets those requirements off the shelf.

When buying a 3D printer I found it better to support Prusa[0] or another company that cares more about open source / hardware.

New comment by stamps in "Restic – Simple Backups"

stamps — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 15:26:01 +0000

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.

New comment by stamps in "Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?"

stamps — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 12:35:27 +0000

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.

Wendell at Level1Techs does good work and there's even newer ones that can do 8k30.

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.

$150 for the PinePhone is a lot cheaper. I'm not sure how much cheaper you want it to be.

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.
