You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

You know, violence is absolutely not acceptable until the point where society safety is determined by a dictatorship and the arguments aren’t on level of ideas anymore.

…

I suspect the US is beyond that point by now.

liberal

You are the 3rd person to use this word on this page. Each one with a completely different meaning. From “heavily Conservative (US style conservative)” to “lightly socialist”.

And yet, nobody used it with a “person that don’t want to stop other people doing things that don’t impact them” meaning.

Makes me wonder if the pinterest numbers are from queries with “-pinterest”.

Many people on lemmy has some ideology that either consider others insufferable, or is considered insufferable by most people.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t organize something on social media, you just need one with freedom of expression (so, no overseeing algorithm), and a clique of people capable of organizing themselves. It may even be possible to get that here.

I always though it was amusing that many communities would only let new users post if they already had enough upvoted posts…

If you do it sitewise, you end up with the modern Stack Overflow!

Hum… Did they change the name of the North-America’s South-West like the Mexico president requested too?

They have clear rules for contested areas… that they follow in an as clear way as their user support rules.

Hum… Well, what are you doing?

He’s wondering about set theory, rings, and algebra and wants you to define what those abstract symbols mean.

You are mathing wrong. The GP is correct, except for the fact that it applies to the Y axis.

(… it’s a much smaller change on the X axis anyway, something with 10 zeros before the first non-zero digit…)

You claimed…

Dude, you are replying to my first post on the conversation.

Anyway, that one study is about a very widely known cause. People don’t change their minds about those easily, neither for supporting nor for opposing it. Also, beware of social studies that find tiny effects.

A bit of a long shot, isn’t it:

Unfortunately, the same poll showed that the protest did not have any measurable effect on feelings about the radical group, or climate policy

So, people didn’t change the way they see the protesters, didn’t support their cause any bit more, but were more sympathetic to people that protested in a less disruptive way (without actually agreeing with them).

If you want to call this a win, ok, but it’s a really tiny one.

Enough to make a RAID 6. As few as possible.

Good thing that you got a worldwide unambiguous concept here!

Spreading it to whom if everybody there is a bot?

Oh, that’s right. Yes, the graph is only bad and not wrong.

The tax is never negative. Instead, it plots a progressive tax rate, and calls it “negative”.

The second graph is just confusing and detracts from the explanation instead of adding to it.

What a bad set of graphs! The first one is just wrong.
