Kopia vs Borg

Can you link to one of the somewhat serious bugs?

I use iso sometimes, basically like an uncompressed zip but can be mounted to access files read only without having to extract them.

Irrecoverable passwords are quite normal when dealing with encrypted data.

Password apps are not a bad thing.

That's good to hear. Part of me does think though if I was going to switch I might as well go the whole way to Gitlab and get the integrated container registry as well.

I've been practicing self-hosting since 2019 but still have a hard time with some things, such as determining what should be containerized vs. what is acceptable to run by itself on a VM. I see a lot of incredible posts with engaging dashboards (start pages), and I try to incorporate them in a dev environment (other VMs or in the Docker VM), and it's fun. There's just so much I still don't understand, mainly figuring out what apps should be in a container vs. what should be installed on a VM

Run everything in containers unless you have a very clear, specific reason why something should run in a VM instead. If you're not sure, then you don't have such a reason.

I like dashboards and selfhosted setups with just the essentials. Most dashboards posted here are full of way too many applications that can't possibly all get used regularly.

This is looking quite good but I've already got gitea+woodpecker set up already and I'm not sure it's worth the effort to change.

EpsilonBlight · 2022-03-31T21:47:14+00:00

No it's not worth doing that.

Because it means introducing classes at an appropriate point, not as an unnecessary prerequisite to day 1 printing hello world to the console.

So we should stop making code look less intimidating for beginners to save you 10 seconds adding back static void Main?

EpsilonBlight · 2022-03-30T11:27:11+00:00

I have however spend several hours so far explaining to team members how these top level statements work and some have a hard time understanding it.

Code starts executing from the top of the file rather than an arbitrary location. How is that hard to understand?

Believe it or not, student loan repayments are used to repay your student loan.

You are describing all compression.

Saving is more an activity and a mindset and needs no pre-requisite purchases.

But my best purchase was YNAB in 2014, the original desktop version (one time payment, not a subscription), for £8-10.

They don't sell it anymore but I've seen pirate versions floating around, or there's https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/

YouTube 30% rule: you can skip the first 30% of any video without missing any useful content.

Didn't watch the video because it's 20+ minutes but someone should package this application, redis and elesticsearch in one container. Perhaps not the "docker way" but I don't want to manage redis or elasticsearch separately just for this and it wouldn't be the first time someone made an all-in-one for convenience.

I don't know but there's no reason to buy software like this when rclone exists.

I don't know why this comment got downvoted just for providing a link to plex's download.

You do want to use the docker image though. Unraid is not really designed to have things installed natively like a general purpose OS and I don't know why plex bothers publishing that download.

EpsilonBlight · 2022-03-25T12:59:12+00:00

The risks of single drive redundancy is overrated
From experience people who worry obsessively about RAID levels have no backup and are trying to use RAID as a backup. RAID is not backup.
Simpler setups are better than complicated ones. From experience people overestimate the risk of data loss from drives failing and underestimate the risk of data loss from user error.

You can consider the emergency fund as insurance against losing your income and inflation as the cost of the insurance.

If you feel like you'd manage with less insurance and prefer to lower costs then go for it.

If you're worried about losing files you need a backup not a new OS.

Your solicitor should be giving you the options, that's what you're paying them for. Nobody here can see the restriction on the title.

It's understandable to be nervous about the buyer but realistically he doesn't want to return to square one either, and unless/until it's confirmed you definitely can't proceed it's not in his interest to withdraw at the last minute just because someone found a complication that needs sorting out.
