  I mean, Mexico has never been a beacon of privacy or regulations (just for super specific technologies that were implemented first, mostly banking ones), but the government has also been pushing weird changes to how they handle surveillance and personal identifications, giving more power to the authorities while they’re exempt for most of the transparency laws (everything they do, even public infrastructure is managed as some kind of ‘state secret’).

  I am scared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker Backup Stratagy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, those stories scare me a lot because I can’t afford backups right now, so I rely on mirroring via Syncthing what I can and using an USB for my server (fortunately I don’t have a lot of personal things). All the family memories are in multiple locations and devices so I don’t have the time (nor storage) to backup those lol

  Because of my situation, it takes me some time to save even for second hand things (I just bought a CPU and a new voltage regulator). I’m planning on buying some used HDDs as secondary storage and one as an external. Slowly but surely D:

  Well, OP didn’t say what was their situation. I’m behind a CG-NAT so I’d need a VPS or something similar for which I’d have to pay, and I don’t have the budget right now. I understand the concern, but OP is looking to reduce the time needed to setup things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plan for my first homeserver⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to have almost everything under control and already planned. For the VPN I’d suggest Tailscale since it’s the easiest VPN to set up (if you don’t have a public IP). You can do a lot of things with it, but if you only want the basics, then there’s not much reading to do. Some people recommend ZeroTier, but I havent tried it, tbh.

  BTW, I would keep in mind that Tailscale is planning to go IPO (if you care about that):

  Same. I mean, I was already looking to rent a VPS, but at least there’s some time so I can save money until things get weird.

  I’m glad there’s a printer service close to where I live, I can go there and print every page for cents. There’s also one on my faculty, more expensive, but still affordable. I only use my HP printer) scanner to scan documents, ink is expensive as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven’t been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using podlet, I have to edit some things manually.

  I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I’m still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u
