I had a Raspberry Pi once and wanted to move file from the current folder to some other folder. I typed
mv /* /path/to/folder/and move everything in the root directory and down to this other folder.^Correct would have been dot slash: mv ./* /path/to/folder/ a^

Which software do you use for backups?
- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 1 week ago:
Install Virtualbox (or some software to handle virtual machines).
Install Debian (or some other OS of your choice, I won’t judge if you prefer Windows).
Update your OS (apt update && apt upgrade -yon Debian).
Take a snapshot of your VM’s current state after updating. Saves a lot of time if you mess up or want a clean slate.Now you decide on what you want. Do you want to install n8n or Node-RED for automation? Do you want to use Immich for pictures? Paperless to save papers in a digital format? Audiobookshelf to listen on your books or podcasts? Jellyfin to stream your media? Set up a Minecraft or Factorio server?
Once you have decided on what you want to do, try to do it in your virtual machine.
Once you understand how to set it up and configure it to your liking, decide on how you want to host it. I took an office computer, added a few HDDs and replaced the case with a bigger one and it’s now my home server, but any old laptop will do. Just make sure to take backups.I used to have a Dell R710 and a virtual machine for each service I hosted, but I have moved to docker because it as simple as taking the often provided compose file, tweaking it a bit (where to store data etc) and running it with
docker compose up -d. - Comment on scheming hot banana cookies 1 week ago:

maybe I’m in the echo chamber
I always try to have that in mind when I talk to my SO. I usually say “I’ve read X and lemmy but lemmy is VERY left bla bla”. Not to invalidate what I read here, but to be mindful of my sources.

Thanks! I was hoping to contribute when I have more free time in a few years.

The Nazis brutally oppressed the working class
Can you please elaborate on this? I thought the Nazi party was great for the German economy, taking the country out of a great recession. Nothing I learned hinted at the german population having it bad, the “only” problem was killing on an industrial scale.

From what I remember, the idea was that since a lot of people already use Java for work, they wouldn’t have to relearn a language to contribute.

I second LG. Probably even if I don’t connect it to the internet. OLED + webOS + magic remote. If it was super important to not require internet etc, still LG but JB it.

Same here. I remember playing minecraft and wanted to install some mod on my server. There were instructions and I followed them. Problems? Search the web.

You are welcome.

- Figure out what you want to host.
- Read up on what is required to host that.
- Understand what is required to host that.
- Skip step 3, wing it and search the internet as you go.

Since multiple people will be using the same IP when using a VPN. If one person is a bad actor and causes the IP to be blacklisted, it will affect you too.

From their README. Have you looked at their forum?
We cannot provide direct technical support. Get help running this software in your own environment in our unofficial community forum.
This thread has a link to someone’s Dockerfile for their development.

Here is two enteries from my
Caddyfile:ip.domain.tld:80 { respond "{client_ip}" 200 } git.domain.tld { reverse_proxy forgejo:3000 }
This is all I need and Caddy will handle the rest. I have created a network with podman/docker that I add to any container that I need to reverse proxy to.

- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 2 months ago:
I meant more figuratively. Finally managed to move my compose files to nix files thanks to compose2nix. One thing that throw me for a loop was that podman (or perhaps nix) creates a service named <backend>-<service>. Compose2nix handles this accordingly but I had a few hours of head scratching until I figured that out.

I mean keep using port 22 on the server and redirect whatever port you want in your firewall (your router unless you have a dedicted fw) to port 22. Don’t change the ssh port on the server at all.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Why change the SSH port of a home server, which most likely is not reachable from the outside anyway?
And if it is, why change it on the server and not in the fw?

I installed a new server at home and went with NixOS. It looks super cool but it takes so much time to learn everything. The only thing keeping me from going back to Debian is how easy it was to permanently mount drives (and save a configuration for any future install or mishaps).
(I.e. mount,
nixos-generate-config,nixos-rebuild switchand done!) - Comment on Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp 2 months ago:

I can’t say I agree or disagree because I don’t have any data to prove your right nor wrong. I can say that I understand some shit people give Java but your argument was a first for me. I was intrigued.

That’s the first time I ever hear someone call Java a legacy language.
