Thanks! This is great to know.

I mean I’m not sure! The way you worded accounts being deleted or repos made me think you meant in general

Edit Yeah you say worth preserving. So for me I will go back those up!

I think the biggest ones that would suck if lost would be Qbit, Jellyfin, and Trilium. Qbit because it download and share a lot with it. Jellyfin because of most of my family’s media consumption is via it. And trilium because most of my notes from the past year plus are there plus imported others. It’s essential.

Thanks!

Wonder if there’s a docker to backup and update repos

Got it, just concerned :) I love cats

What’s her issue? Will they visit daily? I would plan daily visits. I did when I left for a month.

I missed that your cat is sick. What sort of sick? Do you have a pet sitter? Do you have someone with a key? How far away are you going? Can you react if they’re in trouble?

If you can’t take care of them beyond looking at them via a camera this selfhosting question is pointless coping without solving the problem.

I recently left for a month with three cats. I have four amcrest cameras which I blocked in adguard and run them through frigate. Thinking of going back to agentdvr though. I do have one cloud camera, a xiaomi, that I only use on the days when I’m not home to have a backup. It’s not worth going selfhosted and FOSS then having an issue you can fix while away and worrying yourself to death.

What does this mean? You say trip over cat then say cancel.

Edit missed the cat was sick but your comment is still confusing you must mean <

Have you tried this vs libreoffice for writing?

It’s command line but super easy. You can add it to daily or every ten minute cronjobs. Easiest format is rsync -avz /from /to. If it is too another device rsync -avz /from user@ip:/to

More feature creep and things to break it?

File browser is easy for all of those minus syncing. You might also do rsync. Easiest solution!

Thanks for taking the time to write this! This is well written and you make some excellent points.

Hiding mod accounts names is a weird choice and not notifying bans if even odder. Wonder the intention?

You make a great point with feeds! I didn’t consider that.

I disagree. Especially on coms where one needs answers. But I want to support smaller instances.

The whole point of lemmy is decentralization. Not being run off by bad mods. I agree that a lot of big instances have rude admins and mods but this idea is for similar communities with similar modding. If the mods agree then what’s the issue? A lot of big instances communities have the exact same mods anyways.

An example for my use case is I want to support slrpnk and post on their selfhosting com but I don’t want only 1 answer. Federating my post to all three big selfhosting communities would allow more interaction while still being decentralized in the sense of not instance dependent.

Exciting! I’ll try to get my piefed running again then

This is great but I still don’t think it fixed the issue that both softwares have, what do you do about wanting to share the same content between multiple same named communities without spamming?

I still really like the idea that communities can choose to federate with each other. You post to privacy at ML and LW and it shows as one post in both communities.

Send it to your parents and work is what I do :)
