Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?
This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.
For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.
Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.
Why would you want password less backups?
I understand if the reason is ‘just because’, but seriously, why? I just write down the password in a text file for restic --password and I am done.
write down the password where though, somewhere I can guarantee it will always be there 10 years from now? That’s a big ask of me
I keep mine in Bitwarden, I export that data every 3 months and store it in a Backblaze backup, I have it written on a piece of paper stored in a locked fire box in my house, and that paper scanned in my phone.
I can’t imagine not having at least one of those in 10 years and I can’t imagine all four failing in the same week.
Does that give you any helpful ideas that would work for you?
None that I can see persisting, as I move around a lot and my backups tend to get boxed up for periods of time before being unboxed. But, I appreciate the effort
