  You don’t really need Cloudflare to have your own domain, you can do everything directly with GitHub.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tup - open source self-hosted tunnel proxy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is not about leading anything but about having the code in a repository so that it is easy to read/consult/audit/etc.

  You can upload the code to any service (it doesn’t have to be GitHub, it can be GitLab, sourcehut, etc…) and disable issues and comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's wrong with Nextcloud, and why is it slow/clunky?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Synching is currently the fastest and lightest you will find, but the concept is different from Seafile or Nextcloud. With Synching there is no central server, you have resources (folders) shared between nodes on a peer-to-peer basis. This has several advantages, the most obvious one is that if a node goes down the rest continues working, but also that if a file is available in two or more nodes when a new node enters it will download that file from all the nodes in which it is available. As a disadvantage we could say that there is no web server where to see the shared files, so you will not be able to enter a URL with username and password and browse the files and upload or download. You will not be able to share files with third parties through a URL either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  restic without any doubt. I use it with S3 backend and SSH copy and it has an excellent performance (with copies of years).

  Borg I was using it for a while (to compare) and I do not recommend it, it is not a bad product, but it has a lousy performance compared to restic.

  Kopia I didn’t know it, but from what I have read about it it seems to be very similar to restic but with some additions to make it pretty (like having ui).

  Some people say that Kopia is faster in sending data to the repository (and other people say it’s restic), I think that, unless you need ui, I would use restic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how much backing up would you do of a media server?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you live in Europe you have 1TB by € 3.81 / month with Hetzner. It works fantastic with Restic (I’m using it too for my backups).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point on hosting RSS reader's?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was an Inoreader user too, but I discovered Miniflux and cannot be happier 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Review of LessPass⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LessPass has the possibility to connect to a database (via its API) to store the configurations made for each site. This API can be used from any of the clients (either the browser extension, the mobile application, etc.).

  You set up the DB server wherever you want. If you want something light you can use this implementation. And if you are interested, there is also a command line client.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Review of LessPass⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my view, both a password file (vault/database) and LessPass are potentially attackable via brute force. I don’t see that one is safer than the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about backup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Before using borg I would recommend you to take a look at restic. In my opinion it is better in everything than borg.

  As for how to backup the database, my advice is to export the database to a SQL file and backup that file. That will always be easier than having to deal with agents that connect to the database.

  As for the number of repositories, if you use restic, a single repository is enough. Besides, as restic does deduplication, if you have the same files between your machines, they will only occupy the space of one. ;-)

  I hope I have helped you with some of my ideas.

  Best regards.
