UPS For Less: https://batteryupsforless.com/ca/en/
If you can pick it up in person in Markham, it’s even cheaper. Bought a bunch of UPSes across a couple dozen years now, and replaced the batteries on many of them. Best prices I’ve found.

I use restic extensively, and it works really really well… until it breaks. Then there’s next-to-nothing you can do to fix the repo.

Rustic, on the other hand, has lock-less design, and repair options, so I end up using it to fix things. However, it has a number of rough edges: it uses its own wacky config file, its include/exclude options are wildly different and a bit painful, and to use a bunch of repo backends (like S3), you need to install, configure, and use rclone, which is poorly documented by rustic.

Agree on the creepy side, though there’s other possibilities besides facial recognition, namely:

• They buy data from a data broker. Said data broker bought (or got) location data from any number of apps you have installed on your phone that monitor your location data.
• They associated your phone’s Wifi MAC (even if you don’t connect to their Wifi) or a bluetooth MAC (of bluetooth headphones, watch, or other device) to you previously, then saw it again

Solid File Explorer, bought it forever ago, and it hasn’t let me down yet.
