Never let a crisis of centralized internet outages go to waste. Let me tell you about this thing called self hosting :) View quoted note →

58k gang? I'm excited.

Giving AlmaLinux server a try. There's still something about Fedora that's just got me hooked though. Well see what happens I guess.

Cloud storage is cheap... Until you go to use it.

Nostr: where devs get to tell everyone how they reinvented the wheel completely unchallenged.

Doing a little more maintenance than usual today for @GitCitadel and our .eu services. There might be some brief interruptions with #alexandria and our #lightning wallet. All other services such as relays will be untouched :)

If you're like me and whined for the past 15 years that file backup and archival systems suck. You definitely should consider restic (backrest is the web gui). Major wins for me are robustness. Sometimes you have to migrate storage, you lose a drive, move servers, or switch cloud storage. Restic has handled all of that well for me and has built-in tools to ensure said robustness. Compression and de-duplication are insane, right now I have multiple 50gb+ repos that take up less than 2gb on disk. Need to move a repo? Just mv or cp or rsync, no biggie. It also has over 10 storage backends, big ones for me are local disk, smb, nfs, S3 and sftp/ssh. client-side encryption is default btw, pbkh + aes256cbc I believe is the only support alg, which is fine. @Ingwie Phoenix (aka. birb) has the credit for show me backrest which has worked amazing for over a year now for me across multiple repositories, backups and servers.
