Prior to consolidation of "cold storage" into main repo, backup set size was ~31.3GB;
now 88.7GB. Still well within cloud service limits.
A little dreading the long cloud repo refresh.
As a direct result of being built on Java, DBeaver loads annoyingly slowly. HeidiSQL is also fully open-source with a much lighter footprint, being written in Embarcadero Delphi (an Object Pascal dialect) compiled to native executable code. Unfortunately, HeidiSQL's solution to distribution is to point from their ostensible "downloads" page directly to MS-owned, fash-colluding GitHub. Sourceforge also makes the most current installer directly downloadable tho, so that's good.
Like a lot of other software, e.g. Obsidian, LogSeq- HeidiSQL litters the per-user "My Documents" folder. There's just zero reason or excuse for not making this configurable so that a finicky organized person can at least collect all the per-application config cruft in one location. The "portable" version reputedly keeps all its cruft in its own folder, so maybe that's a direction to go.
Zoom is another MyDocs littering offender. The controls to make it use a different folder are inaccessible without an actual account (free Basic tier works). While you're there, it'd be smart to turn off the otherwise-constant-on "AI Companion" too.
updated backup procedure notes and template; weeded and condensed some older files
to-dos:
consolidate contact lists
