If you use zfs for docker, dbs and vms you don’t have to shut down anything. Just snapshot and send/recv to sync snapshots to another ZFS drive.

You can even mount and copy the latest snapshot to the cloud with rsync/rclone; probably also borg/restic/kopia. Each applications state will be internally consistent if the snapshot is performed for all data at the same time. If you’re paranoid you can stop everything for a few mins to perform the snapshot, but it’s not really necessary.

Agreed. I still browse old to see what the mainstream narratives are, but I will never log into an account ever again.

Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.

Eh. I don’t use bsky, and think most current ICE staff should be imprisoned for terrorism for the rest of their lives, but I don’t want any communications services to decide which entities should and shouldn’t be verified. That’s how you end up with power-tripping mods, propaganda bubbles, and censorship (exactly what fascists are doing with X, fb, tiktok, etc).

The goal should be an open protocol where users/orgs can sign messages cryptographically (like PGP) and every other user can decide which users, feeds, or algos they subscribe to without censorship. Like, if I subscribe to my friends and family (trusted sources), or friends of friends, I don’t want any form of moderation between them and me, but the freedom to sub to moderated topics is also necessary for public (untrusted sources) feeds/comms.

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

This is why I switched everything to single disk ZFS. The ability to snapshot everything with zero downtime, including data in case I ever misconfig something, as well as replicate all of it to other ZFS drives offsite in the most efficient way possible — including encrypted data without transferring the keys — was a no brainier.

It isn’t a full backup strategy, but it has enables features that no other backup software can do anywhere near as easily or efficiently.

At this point I just don’t click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.

Lol. The only thing this setting does is hide the information from the user. Google, or a thousand other data brokers (many probably created by Google for this purpose) still retain that data indefinitely.

Try the web app (PWA). I don’t remember it complaining about http localhost.

I’d also raise that as an issue with the developer. No self host-able app should enforce https. Only warn/notify. There are numerous situations where http is a perfectly fine, permanent solution (LAN/VPN).

FYI super productivity can sync via webdav, and nextcloud has a webdav server.

Noice

Is there any way to exclude US projects, or only pick projects that are non-profit or open-source?

I wouldn’t want to waste energy on something that the Christian Taliban will likely destroy, or benefit from; or go to patented corporate research.

You can map multiple paths to a docker container and under settings > media management > root folders in the arrs.

Review https://trash-guides.info/ and https://wiki.servarr.com/ to see if you can configure things better.

Why wish them the best of luck? I wish their sales to crash and burn.

You can also choose a mesh vpn like tailscale and then you don’t have to worry about ddns or port forwarding at all, ace you can still use a reverse proxy.

Last I heard it was way more than feasible for a normie. Something like 500TB.

The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn’t exist at all
