I recently decided to replace the SD card in my Raspberry Pi and reinstall the system. Without any special backups in place, I turned to rsync to duplicate /var/lib/docker with all my containers, including Nextcloud....
Well... their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don't really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.
This is a honest question. I have two RSS services hosted on my server, and I don’t see the point. RSS is by nature distributed, and subscribing to my own server just makes the source of all news being the same. What is the advantage? What do people use it for?
Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple....
A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…)....
One of the features of pihole that has been handy is the ability to temporarily disable the block lists for a few minutes if necessary (such as for sites which load resources that are required from blocked domains, or unsubscribing from things often can be blocked).
So I got hold of a domain that shows my exact full name. I thought it would be useful for showing up as “professional” when working in IT and sending resumes....
I host some private stuff on mine, hidden behind an authentication service that is. But because I just use a wildcard no-one can really tell what I have hosted - the same login page occurs for every subdomain, regardless of whether it's actually wired up to something.
That doesn't help with services you wish to make semi-public (like a lemmy instance) though.
I'm using cloudflare as my DNS, and it's literally just:
Create an A record.
Set the name to *
Set the IP to the appropriate server
You may want to untick the proxy, depending on what you're hosting. If it's web stuff only it's fine, but if you're doing anything else as well it'll get in the way.
On the letsencrypt side, it's pretty similar. Create a certificate with domain.name and *.domain.name (if you want them to share a cert) and you're off.
I have about 8TB of storage that is currently only replicated through a raid array. I occasionally sync that to another USB drive and leave that in a fireproof safe (same location)....
I've never really understood why, seemingly universally, symmetric (or at least non-anemic upload plans) are completely unaffordable compared to "normal" plans (assuming they're available at all).
Is it normal for borg to nag for my password so many times?

Context: I have 2 config files, as I would prefer to have each app I want backed up in a separate config if reasonable. I don't have a remote setup yet - it's just using a local repository.
I missed that part in the docs - thanks. Now it's working way better. Thanks heaps - I'm going to trial this alongside my duplicati for a bit (as I've heard a few too many horror stories about duplicati...)
