I'm interested in ways people are handling #signal backups in terms of getting them off your phone in case you #android phone breaks or you lose it.
I have been using daily scheduled #termux#rsync scripts to own server, which I also use for other purposes. For photos and videos, the benefit is not needing Big Tech cloud surveillance and also preserving original image quality by nothing having arbitrary space constraints.
But there is a slight problem of the Signal backups being 700MB each. not a huge problem in #Finland - the country with unlimited mobile data. The 700MB will not get any smaller though, so I wonder about really long term solution in case Signal itself does not implement more controls to how and what is backed up.
Do you run a mirror of the #OpenStreetMap data on planet.openstreetmap.org? We're changing how we serve planet files in a way that will impact you. Currently we have a medium amount of historic files available by HTTP and #rsync, but we're going to have all historic data available by HTTP with a redirect and limited data available by rsync. Rsync will eventually be shut down, but this is some time away.
Just sharing a quick tip for rsync, in order to copy only directories matching a specific pattern. I use it to extract all my darktable_exported directories from my full images storage, while keeping the directory structure
OK, note to self: when you rsync backups to your Synology NAS, make sure you either disable the recyclebin or schedule empty-recyclebin jobs... Just cleaned up 7TB... #synology#rsync#backup
Ok, so this seems like an obvious thing, but is there a better cp and mv command for #linux , I want something that shows progress and speed etc. I know I can use #rsync but that seems like overkill
Alright so I decided to format the memory stick, after copying the save data and plugins, and I'll just add the games, starting with PS1, 13 GB being copied via #rsync, good progress so far :P
Oletko rakentanut itsellesi varmuuskopiosysteemiä johonkin ulkoiseen palveluun? Onko suosituksia?
Itselläni on tällä hetkellä vain paikalliset backupit, jotka sijaitsevat erillisellä NAS:lla. Se on sijoitettu niin, että pystyn esimerkiksi tulipalon sattuessa ottamaan sen nopeasti matkaan ja viemään talosta ulos. Tästä on kuitenkin apua vain jos olen kotona ja moiseen temppuiluun on ylipäätään aikaa.
Itselleni mieluisin ratkaisu oli se, että saisin nykyisen NAS:in vietyä erilliseen rakennukseen ja olisin täysin riippumaton palveluista ja yrityksistä. Se ei vaan juuri nyt onnistu kovin helposti. Toiseksi paras vaihtoehto lienee siis tuo pilvitallennus.
Backblaze B2 on tullut monessa vastaan ja vaikuttaa varsin asialliselta ja yllättävän edulliselta. Saa jakaa kokemuksia jos sellaisia on. Myös vaihtoehdot ovat tervetulleita ☺️

🥥 I thought your toot was asking, "Is it #Linux time?" Dan.
I'm neither a #Scotsman, a coin-op, nor someone who knows what a "furry plumber" is.
What I AM is an extremely shy 74-year-old who's experiencing mild cognitive issues, has a Linux question, wants to test the theory that the #Fediverse is all-knowing, and uses the #OxfordComma.
I'm attempting to backup a drive to a directory on a larger drive using either #dd, #rsync, or some better solution. 🥥
