Pair Restic with Rclone and you get client-side AES-256 encryption, smart deduplication, and a backend that talks to 70 plus cloud providers. A systemd timer and a short wrapper script handle the schedule. The result runs unattended, prunes old snapshots on its own, and lets you swap clouds by editing one config line. A tuned setup backs up 500 GB in under five minutes and costs as little as $3 a month on Backblaze B2.

Every SSH connection needs the right host, port, user, and sometimes a specific key, and there is no good place to write all that down outside of ~/.ssh/config. That file stays the most underused tool in any developer’s home directory. Without it you retype ssh deploy@10.0.4.17 -p 2222 -J bastion.example.com every session, forget which IP belongs to which server two weeks later, and end up with a shell history full of nearly identical commands.

Just is the best general command runner for most new projects in 2026. It has Make-like syntax without the tab headaches. It works across Linux, macOS, and Windows. It stays out of your way as a command runner, not a build system. Task wins if your team prefers YAML and you want built-in file watching. Make is still right when you have real file-based compile dependencies or a Makefile that works fine.

Building a custom mechanical keyboard means assembling five core components: a PCB, a case, a plate, switches, and keycaps. The result is a board that types, sounds, and feels exactly the way you want. Budget $100 to $400 depending on materials, set aside three to six hours for a first build, and you’ll end up with a board no mass-produced model can match. This guide walks every decision from PCB choice to firmware flashing and final assembly.

OpenClaw’s bundled claude-cli backend is officially sanctioned by Anthropic. OAuth-token extraction tools stay blocked. The carve-out works because shelling out to claude -p preserves prompt caching, so a $20 Pro or $200 Max sub routes through OpenClaw without four-figure API bills. The catch used to be a 5-hour usage cap. From June 15, 2026, that claude -p traffic moves onto a separate monthly Agent SDK credit, so the real limit is now a modest dollar budget.

You can shrink your Linux server’s attack surface in about 30 minutes. The recipe is simple. Harden SSH with Ed25519 keys, set up nftables with default-deny, turn on auto security updates, run auditd for kernel logs, and lock down accounts with faillock. A typical Lynis score jumps from 55-62 on a stock install to 75-84 after these changes.

Each section below takes 3-7 minutes. Work through it top to bottom on a fresh server. You will have a solid security baseline before your first app deploys, whether that is a database or a privacy-respecting analytics instance .
