  • How to send backups on multiple location?

    Jump

  • Whatever you end up with

    • test a restore
    • consider how to deal with the source data being corrupted / ransomed / etc, ie multiple versions

  • I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

    Jump

  • I replaced Nextcloud with syncthing (files) & radicale (calendar, contacts & todos)

    No-one used the calendar on NC, they just used their phones, Outlook, etc

    No-one used the photo gallery on NC - that's now Immich ... again, with syncthing.

    During the early days, just doing an update would break things.

    For a small home setup, NC is too big, too clunky and just not the right tool.

  • Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices

  • How do you handle absolutely critical alerts on your Android phone?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's all fine - when it works, it works well... But sometimes it just seems to get caught up in an error and can't seem to reset for a few minutes. But ok, looks like your setup's working ok, so must be just mine. I disabled a load of Google stuff and run trackercontrol (a local VPN on the phone that blocks stuff), so maybe I've broken something...

    Jump

  • Hmm... I'm using gotify with a Ras Pi to send the alerts and I sometimes get long delays...

    AFAICT it's the phone, not the Pi, but all I can see are lots of websocket errors in the gotify client the time.. are you not getting those then?

  • we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team

    Guess they're so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell

  • Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I'm continually trying to assess if what I'm reading is true or not

    Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

  • Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations (link to 2025 Priorities -> Focus on Reliabilty, Audi, Camera, etc)

  • Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?

    Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult...

  • Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows... my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands

  • World Backup Day

    Jump

  • Yep, hence my comment...

    You should see the fear on people's faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.

    My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.

    That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies... if needed.

  • World Backup Day

    Jump

  • Backups... fine

    When's the World "test you can restore" day?

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

    Jump

  • Ok, didn't think about "unlimited" actually being slower - thanks for the insight.

    I'm running a pfSense f/w at the edge, so split horizon DNS and haproxy are already sorted... I'll check out wireguard - should be straight forward

    Thanks

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

    Jump

  • I'm considering going this route - just to hide my (static) home IP.

    What's the rough sizing I'd need for a VPS? I'm guessing the smallest possible, but with the best / unlimited data usage?

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • Ok, so setup a DC (in a VM on your linux laptop), install Win11 joined to that domain, create a local user, then leave the domain & destroy the VM...?

    Or install Linux 👍🏻

  • Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line

    Jump

  • Dunno how long you've been online, but you should've seen searching before Google came along... it's still better now.

    But, there was not much tracking back then...

  • Depends... if you use an offline password manager ( like keepass), you can ask it to autotype your credentials into anything... if that's what you ask it to do (ie it's not a fault)

    Main point though: don't reuse the same credentials across different sites.

    They'll get 1 site, but not all the rest of them...

  • Vivaldi, now with added VPN

  • Was that the one with the vertical task bar that couldn't be changed??

    Or is it better now...?

    1. Agreed
    2. Well, if it's the free tier option, then I guess not a lot...?

    I'm all for revenue income to support these tools - as long as I'm not the product - I just won't be using this option.
