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.

Mali and Algeria mutually reinstated their ambassadors on July 10 and reopened their airspace to each other’s civilian and military aircraft. This improvement in their strained diplomatic relations came over a year after they had recalled their ambassadors in April 2025, after Algeria shot down a Malian military drone.

The drone was operating in the Kidal region, targeting terror groups that captured its capital, Kidal city, a year later in April 2026. Algeria said that the drone had crossed Mali’s northern border into its airspace when it was shot down. Mali refuted this claim, insisting that although the drone crashed in Algerian territory, it was in Malian airspace when shot.

The 1,374-km-long porous border between the two countries is located in the remote Sahara Desert. The region is a base for multiple terror groups whose attacks on Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have intensified after the three countries expelled French troops.

In mid-March 2025, Mali carried out a drone strike on what it said were Algeria-registered trucks carrying supplies to terror groups. Later that April, when its drone was downed by Algeria, Mali, along with fellow members of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) – Niger and Burkina Faso – withdrew their ambassadors from Algeria.

Algeria, in turn, accused Mali of violating its airspace twice in 2024 before this incident and recalled its ambassador.

A year later, in April 2026, a coalition, including an Al-Qaeda affiliate and a Tuareg separatist group, launched coordinated attacks on multiple cities across the country and captured Kidal.

Affirming Algeria’s support for the “territorial integrity of Mali, the unity of its people and its state institutions” in the aftermath of this attack, its foreign minister, Ahmed Attaf, reiterated, “We also reject terrorism in all its forms.” He went on to recall Algeria’s own “painful experience in the face of this scourge,” referring to the civil war its state fought against Islamist terror groups in the 1990s.

Just over two months later, on July 4, the coalition of Al Qaeda and the Tuareg separatists struck again across multiple cities of Mali.

Although all the attacks were repelled, fighting continues in Anéfis village commune in the Kidal region, where the Malian army defends its important base just over 100 km from Kidal city.

While retaining control is crucial for the army to eventually mount an offensive to recapture the city, displacing the army from here is crucial for the terror groups to secure their hold on Kidal. Should the terror groups secure control over this border region, it would also pose a threat to Algeria, given the porous border and historic animosity.

Against this backdrop, Algeria reopened its airspace to Mali’s civilian and military aircraft and reinstated its ambassador to Mali on July 10.

The decision reflects President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s “constant and resolute desire to restore Algerian-Malian relations to their natural historical trajectory, based on mutual respect … in the service of the interests of the two peoples and brotherly countries,” read a statement by Algeria’s foreign ministry on July 11.

In a separate statement the same day, Mali’s government also announced the same measures to revitalize “the relations of cooperation and friendship” between the two countries.

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

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?”
