I use self hosted borg repo to backup to a local server and then also borgbase is a service that allows remote backup.

Borgmatic automates all of this.

He’s saying that while there is no benefit to being connect to WG at home, there is also no downside so many people just stay connected all the time.

I haven’t tried it, but the app has the ability to select which app it tunnels.

When you make a new tunnel, it says “all applications” if you click on that you can select specific ones to include or exclude

I just stay connected to wireguard even at home, only downside is the odd time I need to chromecast, it needs to be shut off.

I use plain wireguard on me phone, always on essentially with no issues. I wonder why tailscale app can’t stay open.

I use Borg but every now and then I mount a backup and download a few files to make sure they work correctly.

I’ve so far only had to do this for real with my local zfs snapshots after messing up a config file or blowing away the wrong folder. Process to restore is essentially the same except I would mount the Borg repo instead of a local zfs snapshot

I didnt even remember which os I had until I read this and remembered it was aurora
