Graphic designer, home labber, food junkie. I break expensive things. I usually can’t fix them.

  • The ONLY reason I have a Mac for work is the Adobe suite. As a designer, there is no substitute (GIMP and Inkscape are nice, but they don’t replace Photoshop and Illustrator plus whatever else you get with the sub).

    All my home stuff has been swapped over to Linux years ago. If Adobe ever decided to make a native Linux cc suite, I’d dump apple too, but there we are.












  • I have everything in its own VM, and Proxmox has a pretty awesome built in backup feature. Three different backups (one night is to my NAS, next night to an on-site external, next night to an external that’s swapped out with one at work - weekly). I don’t backup the Proxmox host because reinstalling it should it die completely is not a big deal. The VM’s are the important part.

    I have a mini PC I use to spot check VM backups once a month (full restore on its own network, check its working, delete the VM after).

    My Plex NAS only backs up the movies I really care about (everything else I can “re-rip from my DVD collection”).
