- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 4 days ago:
RClone to a cloud storage (hetzner in my case). Rclone is easy to configure and offers full encryption, even for the file names.
As the data is only uploaded once, a daily backup uploads only the added or changed files.
Just as a side note: make sure you can retrieve your data even in case your main system fails. Make sure you have all the passwords/crypto keys available.

“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).

It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 week ago:
Usage requires less computer knowledge than answered
Oh no!!
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 4 weeks ago:
I think meaningful commenting only works in trees, for example the old mailing lists.
With classic linear forums, I quickly loose track of different discussions. Good luck finding replys to a comment on page #3 when the post has 300 comments.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 5 weeks ago:
Nice list of suggestions, but implementing all of them feels a little over-the-top.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really get the love for fail2ban. Sure, it helps keep your logs clean, but with a solid SSH setup (root disabled, SSH keys enforced), I’m not bothered by the login attempts.
- Comment on Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim. 5 weeks ago:
The current tariff approach by the republican administration does not include the tariffs on US exports. They are not included in the formula.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 month ago:
Teams randomly selects the wrong microphone, so either people can’t hear me or they can hear everyone around me too (laptop mic).
How hard can it be to store my microphone preference?
- Comment on Authelia 4.39 has been released with massive changes 1 month ago:
I’m currently comparing Authentik and Authelia. For me, Authentik was extremely easy to get into. Authelia with its text-based configuration is clearly not as easy for beginners.

I’m missing the rpi1 in that list. Please fix ASAP.
- Comment on The best instance to host a big community in Finnish? 2 months ago:
It is probably wise to have the server admins speak the language of your community.
(And feddit.org works fine for me, it’s one of the instances with the highest uptime).
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’e seen that some want it to host their own LLM. It’s far cheaper to buy DDR5 memory than somehow getting 100+ GB of VRAM. Whether or not this is a good idea is another question
- Comment on HP Mini 1000: The Windows XP Netbook 16 Years Later 2 months ago:
I had one of the early EEE PCs that came with XP. However, I replaced the OS with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which was really great.

Under rare circumstances, the update from last night could lead to death. Luckily, it only affected 3.14% of our users, causing only a minor dent in our revenues.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
But how would you expect that a city can achieve “using 100% clean power” without earmarking? Should they run their own, independent power grid?
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
Even if it would be 30% oil & gas, thats still a massive improvement.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
City officials plan to cover the remaining 30 percent through the purchase of renewable energy credits.
Provably powered by water and wind at night.

Thanks for checking. I didn’t find any other recent news on this topic and the original article is from yesterday.
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 5 months ago:
Why shouldn’t they be able to pay apple and mozilla to select google as their default search engine? Will this also be prohibited?
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 5 months ago:
Is this case decided yet? If I understood the news correctly, they plan to force Google to sell its web browser.

- Comment on VPN bypassing Firewalls (Wireguard DPI) 5 months ago:
Maybe try some TLS-based VPN? This should work almost anywhere, because it looks like a standard HTTPS connection.
Wireguard - even on port 443 - is special as it uses UDP protocol and not the more widely used TCP protocol.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release 5 months ago:
I don’t think these two games can be reasonably compared. HL2 is currently free, while concord was a paid game.

No USB power plug operates at 5 V when providing 65 Watts. That would be 13 Amps. Both power plugs most likey use 15 or 20 volts internally. 19 volts is not allowed over USB.
