Often the hotkeys on laptops for screen brightness, mute, etc will either not work or be wonky, on my HP Elitebook on Debian distros the brightness keys both mute the speakers instead, they work fine on Fedora though.

Nextcloud client/app compatible WebDAV server with a lightweight file browser webUI, and multi-user support.

Should be the closest thing to Google Drive without actually running Nextcloud.

The only issue is it looks like the Nextcloud iOS clients don’t work.

It’s pretty easy, you can browse files in an LXC backup and restore specific parts. For VMs you can just restore the whole VM and copy out what you need.

I back up all the directories and docker-compose files using Restic (via Backrest) stored on Backblaze B2, and also the whole Docker LXC via Proxmox’s backup function to a local HDD.

There’s a chance some databases could be backed up in an unusable state, but I keep like 30-50 snapshots going back months, so I figure if the latest one has a bad DB backup, I could go back another day and try that one.

I also don’t really have irreplaceable data stored in DBs, stuff like Immich has data in a DB that would be annoying to lose, but the photos themselves are just on the filesystem.

For testing Restic I pull a backup and just go through and check some of the important files.

Proxmox backup is really easy to test, as it just restores the whole LXC with a new ID and IP that I can check.

NP! That’s how I do it on proxmox, I’ll start the VM every so often and update it. Only takes a few seconds to clone so it’s nice and quick to do.

Simple method is just keep a ready to go VM and clone it.

I just don’t see how smaller social groups like forums or fedi stuff can survive if they need to potentially fight legal battles too.

What’s the difference vs using a governer with scaling like ondemand?

Yeah it makes sense that they’re good at finding similar things.

Not super reliable, one road near me is 25mph and google says it’s 65mph.

It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because it’s easy and because it’s the OS a computer comes with (with the tiny exception of some systems where you can choose linux).

I doubt it, Nord VPN IP ranges are very well known.

Higher quality VPN won’t really help, basically any VPN service is easy for reddit to detect.

You can either:

A) Use a different port, just set up the new service to run on a port that’s not used by the other service.

B) If it’s a TCP service use a reverse proxy and a subdomain.

30 years of data and no backup system, sheesh.

It’s just a YAML thing, if you do FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:"/config/config.yaml" instead it might work with quotes.

It’s interesting because you’re not the first person to complain about getting ISOs in Proxmox, but on my instance if I click on my local storage it has an upload ISO button, and a download ISO from URL button right there, so it’s really simple.

It can also mount network storage with existing ISOs and just pull from that.

I don’t use ISOs very often though, either a Debian 12 container template, or a custom Debian 12 cloud-init VM I made and backed up, so I can just hit restore and it gives me a fresh VM with new networking config and everything through cloud-init automatically.

Is it all automated with versioning intervals and stuff? Or is restic required as a third party step and maintaining a duplicate of data on the server for it to grab?

Overall it sounds like a decent VM manager but is meant for enterprise stuff where they’ll be building their own backup systems.

Yeah I mean even if it was trained specifically for that, they often will still be incorrect because they don’t actually understand the concepts they’re presenting.

Yeah, running a 240V 50A outlet in a garage in most homes would be fairly cheap, since it’s usually not going very far from the main panel. So might as well do it if you’re already spending a huge chunk of change on an electric car.

The last time we hired an electrician to run about 30 feet from a panel to a new 50A sub-panel across the shop for a project was around $800 IIRC.

The one that comes with your DE is generally just fine, unless you’re a serious terminal user.

One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such

I think that’s a quick way to nuke your install, LLMs are generally wrong about what commands to run and don’t understand enough to know when something is dangerous. All it takes is changing one wrong file and everything breaks.
