Backup

• Borg Backup
  • Supports "data deduplicated backup" (Or what we used to call differential backup). So daily backups only backup what has changed.
  • Back be backed up to local filesystem or remote
  • Supports encryption

Fonts

• Install msttfcorefonts using appropriate command for your distro
• Select appropriate fonts (after installing Microsoft fonts) in Firefox
  • In Settings, search for Fonts, and use Advanced option to set fonts
  • Reduce font size if needed
• Depenbing on your DE there is an option to set the fonts in Linux UI as well
  • It was Noto Sans which I changed to Arial

Command Line

• Format a disk as exFAT : sudo mkfs.exfat -n LABEL /dev/sdXn
  • On OpenSuse you may need to install exfat.utils using sudo zypper install exfat-utils
  • For other distro install appropriate package
• sudo fdisk -l to list the disks. Useful in previous command if you are unsure of the device
