  • Git without a forge

    Jump

  • Personally:

    I am used to git. When I don't need the webUI, I would stick with git because it is already familiar to me.

  • Git without a forge

    Jump

  • Let me make it clear to you then.

    Why use Git at all then?

    For it's VCS features.

    I thought the one reason why everyone wants to use Git these days are the forges.

    You thought wrong. Git is not wanted exclusively for the forges, but also for it's VCS capabilities.

  • How to send backups on multiple location?

    Jump

  • I'd do it like this:

    • borg backup
    • (optional) borgmatic for easier use, but a diy shell script might suffice
    • (optional) https://github.com/Ravinou/borgwarehouse for easier gui based "serverside" setup on each location
    • (if you have no way to reach the servers from the internet yet) set up dyndns for each location so you can reach them by domain
    • might need to setup portforwarding rules in the router of each location

  • Git without a forge

    Jump

  • distributed, asynchronous collaboration and versioning.

    Or do you wanna send zipped up sourcefiles "project_dev_0.9.6.2_developername_featureID.zip" per email to a dozen colleagues who then have to manually merge it into their current WIP?

  • Need help with SearXNG installation

    Jump

  • You can do that with caddy as well.

  • The Hippocratic License 3.0: An Ethical License for Open Source.

    Jump

  • Ban data collection agencies, cause they stalk/harass all users.

  • The Hippocratic License 3.0: An Ethical License for Open Source.

    Jump

  • I sent your comment (with the licence) to all AI companies, that I know of and they will use it for training data.

    Just to illustrate how wrong you are. Might set up a bot later.

  • Self-Hosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last.

    Jump

  • tldr:

    • life, work, family reasons for one of the guys. Nothing negative, he just has no time for the podcast anymore but will show up in their linux podcast from time to time in the future.

  • What even is "EU OS"?

    Jump

  • Just becaused you aked so nicely in your post title, let me answer it for you (/s):

    It's a proof of concept distro meant for the public sector of the EU but is based on a US corpo distro, so nobody cares. Stop doing pushy marketing for it. It is not funded by the EU and is not official.

    We have plenty of properly EU based Linux distros for the public sector in the EU. tbh this is an exaggeration there are 2-3 and they are mostly not general purpose, but they or something like openSUSE would be a much better starting point.

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

    Jump

  • But the joke doesn't work if you are pedantic.

  • A public alpha of the 'semi-immutable' Manjaro Summit Linux is now available

    Jump

  • Contrary to the 'semi-mutable' distributions of yesteryears... /s

  • Anubis works (anti ai crawler software)

    Jump

  • Altcha is free if you selfhost it.

    On their website they have 2 pricing tiers: "Pro" (9€ per month) and "Open Source" (Free)

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

    Jump

  • The one we are currently in I assume.

    Proxima Centauri is pretty weird with it's three gravitationally bound suns (Alpha Centauri A and B), who would set up alerrs for that?

    /s

  • Anubis works (anti ai crawler software)

    Jump

  • And yet, only €376.3/month on patreon.

    Also, I keep wondering why Anubis got so popular while other proof of work captchas have been around for much longer. Is there any fundamental difference to mCaptcha or altcha?

    (except for maybe that altcha is trying to make a business by serving customers that don't want to selfhost it).

    Any technical reason for prefering anubis?

  • Programming book recommendations?

    Jump
    1. Software Architects Handbook - Joseph Ingeno
    2. Game Programming Patterns - Robert Nystrom
    3. Tidy First - Kent Beck

    First one I found the most useful.

    Second one gave me a new perspective, even though I am not programming games, I could apply this new perspective to my regular code.

    Third one is the nicest book on that topic. I hated "the classics" but I enjoyed this one a lot.

    Bonus round:

    1. Etudes for Programmers - Charles Wetherell

    It's how I learned to code.

  • Backing up IaC

    Jump

  • What I did is set up a NAS at my parents house, which I can log into as well for near zero cost offsite backups.

    And at home I have a couple of local drives with borgbackups.

  • Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg

    Jump

  • This keeps backups efficient since you can ask the filesystem to only send the changes instead of going over all the files and figuring out what has changed, so it’s probably a lot faster.

    Aaaah!

  • Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg

    Jump

  • I use borg with borgmatic. I just back up / (which includes home) and exclude some folders I don't want (like /mnt or /tmp).

    It does the same as you just said.

    I have 20 borg snapshots of my nearly full 1tb drive which takes about 400gb of space on my NAS.

    I do it at the file structure level, not at the block device level as the article suggests. Why would I want to back it up at the block device level instead?

  • Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg

    Jump

  • You misunderstood my question, because what you said is true either way with borg.

    The question is, what is the advantage of backing up the whole subvolume "block device" vs just / file structure.
