Hi everyone,

I’m happy to share that Portabase now supports backup and restore for Docker volume!

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted backup and restore platform, currently supporting 9 databases including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and more.

We’re now expanding it to cover Docker volumes too, because many self-hosted apps do not store critical data only in databases.

Typical use cases include WordPress uploads, Nextcloud user files, media libraries, app configuration data, and more generally any self-hosted service where critical data lives in Docker volumes.

The goal is still the same: make backup and restore simple, reliable, and easy to operate. Portabase uses a central server with lightweight agents running close to your workloads.

If you find bugs, please open an issue on GitHub, we’re actively looking for feedback.

Thanks!

I’ve been using a de-Googled Android setup and found myself running into the same issue a lot of people probably do: the privacy-first option is great right up until the everyday stuff stops working properly.

In my case, banking apps and Android Auto were the sticking points. GrapheneOS was excellent in principle, but iodéOS ended up being the more practical fit for my actual use case.

I’d be interested to hear where other people draw that line between privacy, convenience, and reliability.

In response to the European Union’s (EU) consistent failure to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel, Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns said:

“It’s beyond shameful that a majority of EU member states, led by Germany and Italy, continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Countries committed to uphold international law must not remain silent while others actively undermine the very principles they claim to defend.

On July 13, 2026, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national, was shot and killed by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Biddeford, Maine, United States.[2][3][4] His three-year-old daughter was in the vehicle.

The Iranian Army has delivered another powerful blow to the US occupation forces in the region, turning American bases into infernos of their own making.

According to the latest statement from the Army’s Public Relations Department on Monday night, following repeated US mischief and aggression against the Iranian homeland, waves of Iranian kamikaze drones targeted and hit critical infrastructure at US terrorist bases in Kuwait just hours ago.

Communication systems, fuel storage tanks, Patriot air defense batteries, control towers, and ammunition depots of the occupying American forces were directly struck and severely damaged.

In a coordinated naval response, the Iranian Army Navy fired cruise missiles at a hostile American vessel after US missile attacks on Iranian military centers, successfully neutralizing the threat.

In a notice to customers and suppliers, the organization said it had exhausted every available option before seeking insolvency protection. Managing director Johannes Zenglein described the filing as "one of the most difficult steps in our company's 37-year history." "The cyberattack of March 29, 2026, however, impacted our company to an extent that we could not fully compensate for despite our best efforts," Zenglein wrote. "The consequences resulted in a production outage of nearly six weeks and significant financial strain. These effects ultimately impacted our financial situation so severely that filing for insolvency became necessary."

Wow.

ZEGO did not disclose what kind of attack it suffered, whether ransomware was involved, who was behind it, or whether customer or employee data was compromised.

Wait a minute... ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ

Ten years later, as shown in this map, I still have quite a bit to go, but I have also gone far since I began. A lot of what I've canonized wouldn't have been possible if I decided to flesh concepts out at the beginning.

US lawmakers Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), and Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) gave an exclusive interview to BotB during their recent visit to Havana.

Their trip to Cuba comes as the #Trump administration ramps up its #oil #blockade and economic war on the island, which it has justified by claiming that Cuba poses a threat to #US national security.

After meeting with doctors, farmers, entrepreneurs, diplomats and ordinary Cubans, the lawmakers accused Donald Trump and #MarcoRubio of pushing a “false narrative.”

“Walking through a #hospital that is dark and empty because we've cut off energy, we’ve cut off fuel,” said Leger Fernández. “Why would Americans support that?”
