I recently started to figure out how to backup with Borg2 to cloud storage. Can be achieved conveniently since Borg2 2.0.0b11. At the time of this writing, I used 2.0.0b14. This post is simply a rambling on my backup journey to implement this in a semi-automated way on my Turris Omnia router.

Similar to the last post on building a C project, today I quickly cover how to build a Haskell project.

You might ask why? I got asked about that stuff by my friendly office colleague Samuel. By the way, without him I would have never installed/used Nixos in the first place. Good fella, go checkout his blog.

I spent some time with a neat little CLI application: txtv

This app written in Python let's you easily read latest Swedish Teletext news. It's “a client for reading swedish text tv in the terminal”.

I slightly modified the code so it reads from Swiss 🇨🇭 Teletext source (SRF):
