I ran it on a RPi4 years ago, but it didn’t perform well enough. It performs fine on an old laptop, but not so much in a Pi from my experience. Can’t speak to the RPi5, though.

There are unfortunately still useful things that only work on Windows, which is why I still begrudgingly dual boot. I like the idea of ReactOS, but development is slow-going and it’s still only alpha quality at the moment.

I currently use rclone to do encrypted backups to iDrive e2 currently, but I’m concerned about the concept of “syncing isn’t a backup”, since as others have already said here, you can sync corrupted files, accidental deletions, etc. without more than a single snapshot. I’m considering something like Backrest with e2 because I like the idea of something that is opinionated and that “just works” when it comes to backups.

Edit:

Fair point that it may stop being maintained, though that could also be the case with rclone; less likely though still possible with rsync.

It’s based on yt-dlp, which I can’t seem to get working reliably with my VPN, even with manual intervention like using cookies from a browser, switching servers, etc. Guess VPN IPs hit the rate limits pretty regularly, though I don’t want to risk my real IP getting banned. I’ve seen some people suggest using a VPS, but sounds like a lot of effort. Running something like this on a server and expecting it to reliably download videos in the background isn’t going to work that well from my experience.
