i do backups of my home folder with Vorta, tha uses borg in the backend. I never tried restic, but borg is the first incremental backup utility i tried that doesnt increase the backup size when i move or rename a file.

i like playing traffic rider while listening to something on yt. you ride a motorcycle between a bunch of cars and try not to crash.

how are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.

whatever works…

what we have to resist here is the urge to engage with this sort of bullshit. the actual resistance is in ignoring this and focusing on what actually matters

youre right, i take it back
