There's a plugin called "Remotely Save". I use it to sync to nextcloud (webdav), but there's also another plugin for syncing to a git repo. And worst case, you can use any 3rd party file syncing tool like nextcloud, dro

Out of everything in this thread, this was the most interesting to me. I didn't know you could pipe a list of files to mv. It makes sense, I guess I just never tried it because anything I would have used it for, I would have used fi

The last time I looked for it, the salary calculator was removed. I don't think they're as open about compensation anymore as they used to be.

Are you running git outside of the encrypted container? Or are you running it inside (versioning decrypted files)? If you are doing the former, I used to use git-annex[1] for a similar purpose and liked it to keep track of where the encryp

Thanks for mentioning hurl. I just started looking into it and Insomnia (with the cli) as potential replacements for ci testing tools. hurl looks pretty simple to use, and way easier to get started with than what we're using at work c

I agree, I started looking at setting up a mastodon instance and didn't get very far before looking at alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really want to run another Wordpress, but Gnu Social looks promising.

Interesting, I didn't realize either option were so expensive now! As an alternative, maybe something like Dreamhost's $10/yr plan and one-click wordpress installer? DigitalOcean also has one-click installers/images av

I saw that mastodon.technology is shutting down soon. Would this microblog.pub be a good alternative to hosting my own mastodon? I don't have any other users, so it'd just be for me to maybe interact with people on other mastod

It's easier than ever to set up a blog. If you aren't interested in figuring out how to host your own, there are paid solutions like Ghost and Wordpress. You can always use one of those and migrate to a self-hosted one in the fu

Anecdotal but I haven't noticed web apps to be faster than native apps. However, I have noticed apps claiming to be "native" when in reality they are web browsers in disguise wrapped around some sort of web app.

Do you expose things like photos/videos/pdfs through a public web server? I thought about using Yacy for something similar, but wasn't sure about wanting to just leave everything available unauthenticated on the local networ

You could probably spend an extra $100/mo on RobotCare+ so that you could pay your $1200 deductible and get a brand new replacement robot.

I could see it happening as an intermediate step, before everywhere has automated delivery. Similar to how there are smaller stores that don't accept credit cards yet, most shops probably won't support any sort of delivery either.

Thanks for this recommendation! Do you only index things with a depth of 0? I just set Yacy up a couple days after seeing this post, and didn't realize what that meant at first. Now I have 10s of 1000s of pages indexed after importi

Just curious, what part of the world do you live in? I've lived in cities where we experience anything between below zero to 120F throughout the year. I couldn't imagine not having AC/Heating in those areas even with more ef

Hmm, maybe it has changed or I'm remembering wrong. It's been years since I tried borg, but I remember it taking something like 10 hours to scan for changes, and then another 4 hours or so to actually backup the data. With restic

My backup script runs a 'restic diff' command after every snapshot it takes and puts it in a log file. It's basically a list of every file added, removed, or modified in that snapshot. Since I have a directory full of these

by johntash 5y ago
Just a heads up in case you aren't already aware, 'restic forget' does not automatically prune data. You also need to pass --prune or run 'restic prune' later. Other wise, your snapshots are dropped from the index

My main dataset that I back up with restic is around 11 million files or so, and fluctuates between 8-15TB of source data. I think I've run into similar issues testing out various backup tools too, but have settled on restic for now

Borg sequentially scans your filesystem for changes and only then starts backing up changed data. (tbf: a lot of backup tools seem to do this) Restic scans your filesystem for changes, and then also starts backing up the changes it finds i

I don't know the answer to your question, but take a look at git-annex [0] if you haven't already. One of the examples it gives is storing a music collection. If I understand correctly, I don't think it automatically compres

Generally BRTFS seems to be fine until it breaks, and then it's just painful and difficult to recover from (if at all possible). I'm sure it'll get more stable in the future, but right now I wouldn't trust it with any pr

Does Nebula use Wireguard? I briefly looked at the readme, but did not see it mentioned.
