Someone asking for Linux backup solution may prefer to avoid Apple 'ecosystem'.

Restic does not need rclone and can use many remote storage services directly. I do restic backups directly to Backblaze.

Yes, but at least 50mL of 95% alcohol is always the same amount of alcohol. And you won't be able to get over 100% alcohol content by volume, as you can get with sugar in water.

Measuring added sugar by volume makes little sense. You can add sugar to water and the liquid volume hardly changes. And volume of the sugar depends on crystal size. It works a bit better for alcohol, as that is mixing of two liquids.

Measuring mass makes much more sense and in EU all nutrition labels show sugar per 100g of product (sometimes additionally 'in one serving', but that is quite arbitrary). And that is perfectly enough to compare products. I routinely check labels of picles - many of those have insane amounts of sugar, for no good reasons.

I know Restic before Kopia and made a set of systemd units to run Restic backups on my home server and office workstation (both online 24/7).

Kopia seems much nicer for a regular user, so I use it on my and family laptops. I used to use Duplicati there, but that project seems dead.

Restic or Kopia, both to Backblaze.

Browser and website developers see it other way: we can care about optimizations even less now.

Editing photo on the phone (just resize or crop a bit) before upload usually helps.

I used to use desktop computers both at work and at home (and laptops only when away), but that killed my back – too much sitting. Since then at home I use only laptop – I can lay down with that. I do hate touchpads too, so I don't use that – just a regular mouse. Yes, one can connect a mouse to a laptop. ;-) I would prefer a full keyboard, but the one on laptop is not too bad.

Recently I have bought a powerful PC for gaming, but I only use it remotely, from my laptop (Steam streaming is great).

Raspberry Pi is based on smart phone chips, very specific chips from one manufacturer. Raspberry Pi Foundation is not the main customer for this manufacturer and chips used for Raspberry Pi are not their only product – and now, during the big 'chip shortages' and supply chain problems other customers and other chips are given priority. There are no (or not enough) new chips for Raspberry Pis so there are no new Raspberries, so availability is dropping and prices are soaring.

I guess the same is true for most other SBCs.

For my hobby projects I switched to Raspberry Pi Pico. It is not a SBC, you won't run Linux on that, but it is a very capable microcontroller board which is enough for my needs. It is way cheaper much more available. And I won't look back – it occurred to me that things are much simpler when there is no whole OS on my devices and everything the device does is in my own code.

There are no problems with Pico availability, as it is based on a simpler, custom chip, designed by Raspberry Pi Foundation and manufactured for Raspberry Pi Foundation – they are no longer dependent on a single supplier.

Phones used to have replaceable batteries until they didn't. And they still won't in the next couple of years, until the law is in effect.
Game consoles could go the same way, but this law can prevent it.

Exactly. It become the current Internet Explorer.
