Which is somewhat BS, since we have a perfectly good Olympic Peninsula here in Washington State that it was certainly named after.
Thanks! These were experimental so I'm glad I got some eatable ones! A shame about the beetles.

> Back in January, I had a small potato from the market that went green, so I decided to quarter it and plant it in this old wicker basket. The soil eventually got heaped up to slightly over halfway. Not too bad!

Do you run an antivirus or just the built-in? Windows Defender, after an update, has been known to peer at Jellyfin and say "Absolutely Not".
If you are all linux, perhaps you'd like Borg. It's pretty easy to set up, and perhaps it offers the de-duplication you crave. It's also got some GUIs you can run, if you are into that kind of thing. If you don't feel inclined to use any backup software, then using rsync over ssh (scp, yes) instead of SFTP is a solid way to go.
I personally run a ProxMox cluster. I run both Windows and Linux servers. I perform local full-VM backups using the hypervisor to a USB disk. That gives me a fast way to restore VMs if I need to. I also run Veeam, which handles the offsite copy and provides granular file restores. It's nice because the community edition supports hardened disk immutability, which can help prevent ransomware attacks and Unfortunate Incidents. That just runs over SSH, and installs a Veeam agent/repo on the remote linux box.
Tell us a bit about your environment! Are you all linux or do you have Windows as well? Are you running a hypervisor like Proxmox or VMWare or using containers? Are you just making complete backups, or can you forsee yourself needing granular file restores? There are a number of ways you could go, depending on your setup.
I recently moved, and did not start over from scratch, as I had most of the same rooms/sensors/setup. It went well! I added in new rooms and sensors as necessary. I did recently move from the Nortek combined stick to a separate SONOFF 3.0 for Zigbee and a Zooz 800 stick for Z-Wave, which also went well, but left things named a bit oddly. Reading some of the other comments about how often they blow out their environment makes me think maybe I should!
I mean, Hello Kitty can go hard. I wouldn't be suprised if there were some references in the game.
It's not quite as full featured as Evernote, but I like Joplin. It can sync using Nextcloud, OneDrive, WebDAV, and other services. It's end to end encrypted and works well on Android!
I hear the "growveg.com" Garden Planner is decent, but requires a subscription. I've personally started developing an open source garden planner, as I'd like a companion plant planner/compendium, but it's still in the very-early mostly-conceptual stages.

Talk about a massive wave. You got it, a wave period of decades. Space is big, mind-bogglingly big....
Whoa! This truly whips the llama's ass! Winamp forever!
My all time favorite BEANS recipe: Take 28 grams of dried BEANS, and grind them coarsely. Put BEANS into a suitable vessel that can strain. Take 475 grams of 200°F HEATED WATER. Pour about 75g into BEANS and wait 30 seconds. Pour the rest of the HEATED WATER into BEANS, stir it, cover it, and wait 3 minutes. Strain your BEAN JUICE into a SUITABLE CONSUMPTION VESSEL. Enjoy your HEATED BEAN JUICE.
I'll be looking forward to learning your facts!
My kale(and arugula!) was under attack by cabbage moths. BtK stopped them dead in their tracks!
I....I got rejected, but it's okay! I rolled my own instance and subscribed anyway!

> Today's harvest! Red leaf lettuce, little gem lettuce, radishes, and carrots I picked too early because I was too curious!
Looks like your hardiness will vary by your location!. I'm growing Oxhearts besides the gardener's delight but they are taking their time, they've just put out flowers.
Yeah, you should probably pluck it and plant it. It'll help focus energy to the roots and leaves.

Howdy, gardeners! Exciting day, the first tomato of the season! This is particularly heartwarming for me as this is a new home, new garden, new tomato cultivar! This is a Gardener's Delight, in a felt pot! I'm in Tacoma, Zone 8b. How are your tomato babies doing?
