kbin: The OG content aggregation service that was popular during the Reddit exodus and the foundation for mbin

Weirdly worded I think, Lemmy has been going for years before kbin. I’ve been hosting kbin for a short while, I didn’t really get into it admittedly.

I do YMD in file names/logs and DMY everywhere else. Context is important, especially since the day is often the most important part when talking about upcoming stuff.

Any thoughts on the low effort rule? I think it’s neither necessary nor been enforced anyways.

Thanks for commenting before I clicked the link

What

Your link forwards me to https which works fine. screenshot from a mobile browser, showing the URL with a little"secure" lock

Thanks! :)

Machine B is not publicly reachable though.

Seems like Borg Backup Pull Mode does what I need, using sshfs:

borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/…/pull-backup.html

That should work! I’ll have to make sure it only syncs one direction but that’s doable of course

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

One machine is a cloud VM with LVM I think, the other is my NAS with zfs. I think with zfs to zfs it would easily work!

This seems promising

tar streaming

I do have a someserver, but it’s a fediverse instance with around 60 monthly active users, and the server provider is more reliable than my ISP at home, so any downtime has a bit more impact. There’s also another admin who needs access. Not saying never, but at the moment I’m just looking for a different backup solution, moving the whole thing has some more aspects to consider.

The data would only be copied once a day. I have to check the limits though, good point.

It’s a VPS and I don’t want to increase the monthly cost - in fact I want to decrease it by disabling the backups the hoster offers. Machine B is my NAS at home.

Of course, incremental would be preferable, but I’m not sure how that would work in that constellation.

I wonder if I can compress to B directly. Maybe I could mount a volume from B into A via wireguard and nfs, now that I think about it.

I don’t know if it has side effects when there’s issues with mounting or the like.

It would also interfere if you want to unmount it and forget to disable the cronjob.

You can run mount -a to mount all fstab entries. You could put that in a cronjob I guess

Decorative, put some smol neat thing in there

Ky (the author) is using they/them pronouns btw.

There’s differences in workplaces of course, but many people, while working for money primarily, also draw some satisfaction from their job and want to do fine. This is often abused by the bosses by not paying them properly but trying to convince the workers that they are one big family etc.

Absolutely with you in terms of unionizing tho. The lack of care is a symptom.

Yeah I like it a lot. Didn’t use anything else so I don’t have a comparison, but I found most things very straightforward.

It’s getting messy when you have to do non-standard tasks like removing some entries from the database

I just wanna say that Lemmy isn’t exactly light on resources. 4GB of RAM are barely enough, even on a single user instance. I don’t think free tiers will offer more

KOReader is great, basically swiss army knife, you can configure everything. Not the most intuitive UI though.

Cool! Note that the nameservers for your domain don’t have to be from your registrar. I use Hetzner for DNS despite having my domains elsewhere. And I use a similar thing as you, a cronjob that compares my public IP to the DNS records and adjusts them via Hetzner API when necessary.

Sounds good! Are you on SSD or HDD?

If you want to go all in, get some plug that measures the energy! Also let’s you directly see the effects of turning stuff on/off. My last server went up 3W when I started using the second network interface! Let drives go to sleep, play with C-States, etc

Blergh, how did you pinpoint it?

Yeah that would be a bit convoluted :D
