- Comment on Recommendations for data backup solutions ? 5 days ago:
3-2-1 like others say. Frequency depends on how much you tinker with your hosts. If your host type has a built in backup use that. Otherwise use a deduped and compressed method to a local USB drive and a cheap cloud storage for Configs and host images like hertzner storage box or something.
Remember you aren’t just backing up the data but also backing up the hours of effort it takes to rebuild and get it how you want. If frequently backing up just the service OS you can store heaps for $2 on offerings like OVH cold archive.
Remove yourself from the backup you’ll forget or it will be inconvenient the week it blows up, so automate it, check the automation monthly.
- Comment on The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt 1 week ago:
I’m glad that worked for you. Everything changed in 2008. I would say the old cycles of the market and PE valuation rationality is gone in favour of meme stock style gambling. I think that anything written prior to 2008 on the subject is less useful and the yearly value taking cycle is only still maintained by the old school investors. Some who want some sort of comfort in their approach and want to believe they can make it work. Those people are just handing money to each other now while the billionaires just gamble large sums for bragging rights.

- Comment on What OS do you like for digital signage/kiosk/dashboard only? 1 month ago:
RPi Digital Signage is really good. Binaryemotions.com. it’s built thoughtfully for a bunch of different situations. The kiosk mode paired with some sort of start page would work.
- Comment on Server notifications on fedi 1 month ago:
If you have a Google account you can setup webhooks to a chat space. That’s the best way if it supports it. If you continue to have this problem with email only you could setup n8n to receive notifications via other methods and forward them to a webhook.
- Comment on Which would be better? 2 months ago:
The Ikea stuff works fine. When it comes to smart plugs, The IKEA switches make a louder solenoid “chonk” sound when they turn on. Xiaomi plugs are quieter and the smallest I’ve seen. Means you are more likely to fit something next to it. They are a little bit more expensive but I think worth it.
- Comment on Which would be better? 2 months ago:
Looks a little pricey but probably would work fine. I bought my first zstack based Texas for $25. Worked fine for a couple of years till I realized it had a limit on how many devices it could handle. so I upgraded it to the next model up for another $25. That’s when I found out if you change methods you have to re adopt everything. But if I kept it on the same method (zstack Texas zha) all I did was swap the dongle and everything kept rolling just with a higher limit of devices.
- Comment on Explaining your traumatic past IRL feels so underwhelming compared to when a character in a movie or tv scene revealing their traumatic childhood. 2 months ago:
You could always punch a semi detailed account of your experience into goblin.tools/Formalizer set to “more passionate” or even “more sarcastic” and see if that grips your audience more. Then find a cafe or store that plays music, wait for a sad song to come on and let it rip.
- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 2 months ago:
If you VPS it, remember to add a snapshot backup. Such as $5 vultr VPS always add the $2 snapshot backup option.
- Comment on Need help with printer recommendations 3 months ago:
I had an XYZ back then. It worked overall but was frustrating to use. I also got “back” into it and bought a second hand creality ender 3 V2 in a tent. It works effortlessly every time and I was pleased. Can’t do tpu because bodum can’t do tpu but it is reliable. Then my friend bought a Bambu and another friend bought an anycubic and I was mind blown about how far they’ve come. Speed and reliability and colour change reliability. Crazy. I think the modern machines are worth the extra money.

- Comment on Shower thoughts do seem to inspire! So why aren't we always hosting our zoom calls and high powered business meetings from the shower? 5 months ago:
Of course. Plus shampoo, toothpaste, razors and body wash would be claimable on tax. Haven’t figured out how to improve the shower coffee situation though.

Hey thanks, Steam is already an app, should we call it Ploom?
- Comment on Shower thoughts do seem to inspire! So why aren't we always hosting our zoom calls and high powered business meetings from the shower? 5 months ago:
We have plenty of distraction free brain freedom. It’s the formality of the meeting. If I’m fighting to see Karen through the steam and pausing to spit toothpaste I’m less concerned about the passive aggressive way she’s telling me I didn’t submit my code on time.

Half of what I say in a zoom call isn’t worth listening to anyway.

Entropy is a law of our universe. All data wants to be lost given a long enough timeline and without attention.
-
Divide your data into what you can’t do without and what you may not care about losing.
-
Take a backup out of your hands, make it as automatic as possible.
-
I sync to encrypted folders on Google drive then use msp360 cloud to automatically copy everything in that drive to another cheap cloud storage that is client side encrypted.
For the protection it gives me, it’s cheap.
