I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:

I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool

The PDF multitool I’ve been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords

Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha

If it has to be Christmas

With such lines as

If it has to be Christmas for you to be nice

You’re an asshole

If you think the season is the reason

You’re a piece of shit

And calling people spineless if they can only make a change for the better if it’s New Year’s and hints that so much of the holiday just appearances
