Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish
4·1 年前What @AtariDump@lemmy.world said is correct, if it’s critical data, 3-2-1 is necessary. I personally use BuyVM as my offsite as it’s got pretty cheap storage (~$5USD/1TB/month), but if you’ve got family or friends with a decent internet connection, it’s trivial to set up a remote sync job to any offsite Proxmox Backup Server, perhaps on a box stored at their house.
Now, just to throw it out there, my actual ‘critical data’ is way smaller than my total backed up data, including my media library, random ISOs, etc. - it can be worthwhile to determine if you really need to backup everything offsite or if you can sort out some less necessary data, and only upload some data to a remote server. Maybe the answer is yes, and you’ll need to account for that!
If you go into the entity settings, you should be able to set an alias.

Linux@programming.dev•Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27%
23·1 年前Ya know, I have three Linux machines that play games and a steam deck. I have not seen a survey in a very long time. I wonder why?

3·1 年前This is Lemmy, not the other place. Please be kinder. No need to abuse people trying to help, especially when OP did mention they wouldn’t mind learning if its easy enough.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted alternative to CalendlyEnglish
8·1 年前I’m self hosting this, and it works pretty well. It can be integrated with Google Calendar with some effort, and it works with CalDAV (which I’m using through NextCloud).

17·1 年前You′re walking in the woods
There’s no one around and your phone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them
(Written in Rust)
They’re following you, about 30 feet back
They get down on all fours and break into a sprint
They’re gaining on you
“Written in Rust!”
You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around
They’re almost upon you now
And you can see there’s blood on their face
My God, there′s blood everywhere!
Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)
They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)
Welcome to the Fediverse! Thanks for the post, I love your authorial tone!

Linux@programming.dev•Managing windows and focusing specific apps on Linux?English
3·2 年前I know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I’ve just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it’s name. There’s also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do people use for a shelf-stable backupEnglish
1·2 年前No, they don’t, I pulled it out of my butt. I rewrote my original draft and that slipped in. NVME wouldn’t make sense unless you were powering them up every few months for updates.

3·2 年前If you buy your LTO drive new, then yes they rip you a new one, for sure! Buy it used…but it still will cost you a few hundred. Like I said, if money is not a concern. If losing the encryption key is a concern, then USB is still your best bet. Make two, keep them simple and unencrypted, stick em in two different safes, update them regularly. And print the documentation with pictures!


That’s correct, I also pay for their cheapest VPS, which is about $3, pretty good overall for my purposes!
