I would be happy to show more #opensource alternatives to proprietary software.

#Proton has updated its mail, calendar, drive and VPN plans and also its design. Now I have 15GB of mail storage (from 5GB) and 10 addresses (from 5) with my Mail Plus plan (4.99€/month).
What email service do you use (Proton, Tutanota, Gmail,...)?
Do you use a program that has not been updated for a long time because there is no better option?
Tell us about a program (CLI or GUI) that you've discovered recently and everyone should know about.
#86box has been recently updated.
86box is an x86 emulator focused on running older operating systems and software.
#LosslessCut is an awesome app to do lossless audio/video editing: cut, add or remove audio tracks, concatenate files, and more.
It's available in all package formats most of you don't like (snap, flatpak, appimage), but it's open source, so you can build it if you want. (xD)

What #backup solution do you use (rsync/rclone, borg, git, clonezilla, etc.) and where do you save your backups (usb, HDD/SSD, local/remote server, cloud service, etc.)?
'tee' command copies standard input to standard output and also to any files given as arguments.
- Save a list of all files inside a folder and also show the largest ones:
find . -type f -exec du -a {} + | tee file-list.txt | sort -nr | head -n 5
But you can also type a command instead of a filename using this syntax: >(COMMAND)
- Save a file list compressed and also show the largest ones:
find . -type f -exec du -a {} + | tee >(gzip -9 > file-list-compressed.gz) | sort -nr | head -n 5
Do you suspend, hibernate or shutdown your computer (desktop/laptop) when you are not going to use it for some time?
