Video Game Preservation Has Become an Industry Urgency
  • Not really... anything pre-internet has been pretty preservable.

  • RIP my photos from 2017 and contacts from 2005
  • Sometimes you're hands are tied by the tools already on the server - but I'll try to remember to check to see if that's available next time.

  • RIP my photos from 2017 and contacts from 2005
  • My condolences :'(

    I once lost a bunch of data because I accidently left a / at the end of a path... rsync can be dangerous lol

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?
  • Unraid, mostly due to the flexible arrays.

  • Private and/or cheap places to register a domain
  • which also includes their free services

    Well... their free services remain free regardless of your registrar. Still, I don't really mind supporting them given how useful they have been even in just the free tier.

  • What's the point on hosting RSS reader's?
  • like Google

    Too soon. I mean, it was ages ago but...

  • Looks promising.
    How would you feel about setting up automated pushes to docker?

  • Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023)
  • 3 billion of them. So, over a third of the population of earth does (at least according to this graphic).

  • After I’m Gone Backup Solution
  • There's that as well. Point is, it really depends on the data.

  • After I’m Gone Backup Solution
  • I'm sure that really depends on the data.

    If we're talking about stuff like family photos, then having it retrievable feels pretty reasonable to me.

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • That's a very succinct rebuttal... I like it.

  • Arrs Feedback
  • It's in the Arch TOS.

  • domain name with your own name?
  • I'm using cloudflare as my DNS, and it's literally just:

    • Create an A record.
    • Set the name to *
    • Set the IP to the appropriate server
    • You may want to untick the proxy, depending on what you're hosting. If it's web stuff only it's fine, but if you're doing anything else as well it'll get in the way.

    On the letsencrypt side, it's pretty similar. Create a certificate with domain.name and *.domain.name (if you want them to share a cert) and you're off.

  • domain name with your own name?
  • I host some private stuff on mine, hidden behind an authentication service that is. But because I just use a wildcard no-one can really tell what I have hosted - the same login page occurs for every subdomain, regardless of whether it's actually wired up to something.

    That doesn't help with services you wish to make semi-public (like a lemmy instance) though.

  • Anyone knows a good lightweight self-hosted alternative to GitHub?
  • I'd definetly recommend GitLab too - but it's not lightweight.

  • What to use as offsite backup?
  • My mate's home server.

  • We all know what he did
  • So that's what happened to this guy...

  • Offsite Backups with Slow-ish Upload?
  • I've never really understood why, seemingly universally, symmetric (or at least non-anemic upload plans) are completely unaffordable compared to "normal" plans (assuming they're available at all).

    It truly sucks for stuff like this.

  • What I just learned about restoring BorgBackups
  • I missed that part in the docs - thanks. Now it's working way better. Thanks heaps - I'm going to trial this alongside my duplicati for a bit (as I've heard a few too many horror stories about duplicati...)
