I started the year with a big month of problem solving. Nothing really exciting, I mostly did home maintenance: cleaning, DIY, hard drive replacement, archiving, power supply replacement, setting up a home server, making better backups for all devices at home, centralizing family photo albums, converting media, etc... etc... It was a bit of a never-ending rabbit hole once you started down it. But a pleasant one, because all the various little improvements were immediately rewarding.

@davidrevoy which backup software are you using, I use kbackup. I'm also having issues with the PSU, will probably buy a new one.

@mhunt Hey! I tried all backup software with a GUI, but none of them was simple enough for me (for launching it, for deciding a source/dest, for accessing the data).

I finally made a bash script with rsync following this great blog post: earlruby.org/2013/05/creating- The author even share a full script in the comment here earlruby.org/2013/05/creating- . Mine is just this a bit rewritten. I exectute it with apps.kde.org/kcron/ daily now during lunch hours. So far, I'm happy about it.

Hi David, sorry for not replying before, thank you for your info as always, I tried KBackup, seems to work just fine, makes a .rar file of the selected directory and it was a good time to find it as I had trouble with my PC. Lucky, I have 2 HD for backups, one internal and one external so work is safe, just got me thinking of a backup workstation when the main gets damaged.

I'm making an artbook but with KDP which seems to be my best option, I'll use imagemagick' to generate .pdf, I hope it'll work fine since each image is 600dpi.

Ok, thank again and hope you're (and the cat) are good.

Best.
