borgstore 0.5.0 was just released!

borgstore is a general purpose key/value store with some nice features, supporting misc. backends (local fs, sftp, REST https, s3, rclone).

it now supports optional caching (usually via an additional posixfs caching backend).

https://github.com/borgbackup/borgstore/releases/tag/0.5.0

#python

borgstore will get caching. also, that might be used for full local mirroring of remote storage.

The performance of blake3 multithreaded is very impressive:

hmac-sha256 1.00 GB 0.327s <-- with hw accelerated sha256

blake2b-256 1.00 GB 0.952s <-- pure sw, used in borg 1.x

blake3 1.00 GB 0.442s <-- pure sw, single-threaded

blake3-mt 1.00 GB 0.078s <-- pure sw, with MT.

#blake3 🚀 🚀 🚀

Looks like rust platform support (blake3-py is implemented in rust) is good now for most platforms.

Couldn't solve the rust-related issues on Haiku OS yet though.

Trying to adopt fast blake3 hashing for borg2.

#FSCK 2026 - MakeBackups - ein Backupprojekt für alle, die mal #Backup einrichten sollten...

Viele Leute prokrastinieren beim Thema Backups, weil Mensch möchte das ja richtig machen, auf eigener Hardware, nicht bei $ #Cloud, sauber automatisiert, oder was auch immer die aktuellen Gründe sind.

Oftmals liegt es ja nicht mal am persönlichen Skillset, sondern einfach nur am machen.

Ich habe mit #Hardware, die gerade eh rumlag einfach einen Dienst gebaut, in dem ihr euch einfach selbst ein Backup-Repo (in dem Fall mit [#BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup. org ))

klicken könnt und euch nur noch damit befassen müsst, was ihr sichern wollt.

In diesem #Vortrag will ich das Projekt vorstellen und euch zeigen, wie ihr schnell eure Backups einrichten könnt.

It's not only Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ but also World Backup Day! Therefore, Pika Backup 0.8 is available as of today. After two years of work, this release not only brings many small improvements, but also a rework of the code base that dates back to 2018. This will greatly help to keep Pika Backup stable and maintainable for another eight years.
