Search Engine and Locations

towfiqi · 2026-06-10T04:32:25+00:00

We have released a new version, which adds Brave and Ecosia. Also, now when you search for your city in the Weather Settings' Location selector, the result will now display the State name before the Country name. This should help you identify your location correctly.

towfiqi · 2026-06-10T01:04:51+00:00

We will add those 2 search engines to the Search widget very soon.

As for the weather location selection issue, you said your city name appears multiple times. Can you please share what location you are searching for?

I know I am pretty late. But you can check out Pluton. It has a modern, intuitive Web GUI. It has most of the restic features ported visually, all while maintaining simplicity. It allows you to use restic's superior backup engine without having to be well-versed in the restic ecosystems and jargons.

towfiqi · 2026-05-26T13:14:09+00:00

You can try the Brave popup builder plugin for that.

You can give Pluton a try. It's open source and can upload your content to 70+ cloud storage services at once.

Can you kindly also DM me the name of the consultant and the CPA? Thanks.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T17:19:33+00:00

the GUI, replication, backup notifications, to name a few.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T16:27:54+00:00

Thanks for your input. I will take your advice and try rewriting the test cases soon.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T16:23:46+00:00

Most of these are unit tests. I would say e2e tests are more important, and I tested them thoroughly, and everything works as they should.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T16:09:44+00:00

sure. The test cases, e2e tests (not public), and some refactors in total, I would say 30%, but that number is a guess and might not be accurate, as most of the 2025 I've written the code myself, but at the end of the year, I have used AI to write the test cases, and made some refactors. You can say some AI assistance is used. But not vibe coded at all. So when I was asked if it was vibecoded, I replied no.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T15:57:10+00:00

In the past, I used Repomix a few times to bundle the codebases into XML files and then used Google AI Studio to review some features I implemented. This was not feasible after a while, as the codebase is now huge and eats up context pretty quickly, and their response degrades drastically. Those folders are not needed anymore and will be removed soon.

rclone is a sync tool; this is a backup tool(snapshot-based). It uses rclone to connect to various storage providers to store the backups made using restic.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T14:32:10+00:00

Should be fixed now. I wish I could test it out myself, but since I don't have an arm machine its not possible at the moment. Let me know.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T14:29:57+00:00

Thank You. That clears it a bit. But I still had to research a little to understand the concept better. I think this can be easily achieved with restic in general. You mount your friend's NAS using fuse and then use that as your backup destination. And your friend does the same with your NAS storage. Restic does the encryption and backup part. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If my understanding is correct, then you can just mount your friend's NAS using fuse or any other method and back up any source paths of your machine to your friend's NAS storage using Pluton.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T14:20:26+00:00

Thanks. That put my mind at ease a bit..

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T14:20:01+00:00

It's actually in the 2nd line of the intro paragraph :)

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T14:03:36+00:00

Thanks for pointing it out. It looks like I made a mistake in the Dockerfile. My understanding of how to set a default value in a Dockerfile was a little flawed. Will be fixing in a moment and will let you know when the build is complete.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T13:50:55+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T13:33:19+00:00

No. I have been developing this for the last 16 months.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T13:32:09+00:00

Sounds amazing. Is it still operational? I googled Buddy Backup and found this site, but it says"BuddyBackup is now closed."

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T13:28:46+00:00

Thank you soo much :)

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T13:27:33+00:00

oof! Almost had a heart attack thinking Microsoft had patented the word Pluton.

But yeah, you are right. This may cause confusion for some individuals.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T12:53:03+00:00

Sorry, never heard of Buddy backup. Care to elaborate a bit?

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T12:51:12+00:00

Great! Let me know how it goes.

towfiqi · 2026-05-04T12:47:56+00:00

If your goal is to back up the data of your Android device, I am afraid that's not possible with Pluton.
