As we begin a new year, now would be a great time to:
- Back up your data, with local, off-site, and non-magnetic (optical disc) copies.
- Update firmwares, drivers, and security patches.
- Delete junk files. Bleachbit, FTW!
- Delete unnecessary apps and accounts, especially those that do not respect your privacy.
- Review app permissions.
- Opt out of data broker sites:

- Set up network-wide ad and malware filtering:

@voltronic Sounds like a happy new year!
☕️
And drop whatever notes app you’re using and move to Obsidian! Agree with all else @voltronic did majority of these myself yesterday! Side note - know of any incremental backup tools for Windows better than Robocopy?
@bfgreen
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but it's what I use for daily backups. I have multiple scheduled tasks to mirror all of my media to another drive.
@voltronic fantastic, I will check it out. Much appreciated.
@voltronic How dare you give me a todo list on NYE? 🤣🤣🤣
@voltronic I need stacks of optical blank discs and a faster DVD +RW to go please😉
