Bugs and issues
That’s the melodrama part.
As we shifted to our new home, the raspberry Pi 4 which was used for the Nomagic backups got lost for a while, until we realised it was… thrown away to the trash in incredible circumstances. Long story short, I put the single-board computer into a bag which was ultimately going to be discarded that same day 
The good news is, the old backups were still safely kept on our home storage. I could reinstall borgbackup on an old laptop and see all the old backups as usual 
. I am now using it to do one backup per week until I receive a new single-board.
Coming up
Our road map now includes:
Short-term objective
- Stil finish preparation and announcement of our Forum service, using Flarum.
Mid-term objectives
- Finally upgrade the last 3 servers to Debian Buster.
- Organise weekly public sessions to ease out first contact with people interested in Nomagic.
- Migrate all our servers to Debian 11 (Bullseye). This will likely be our main task for the first part of next year.
- Implement Single Sign-On (SSO) so that Nomagic users won’t have to authenticate on each and every service in their Web browser.
Long-term objectives
- Keep on implementing security/privacy policies.
