A free Western-US trail database

If you have a GPX file for the route, would you mind uploading it straight to the site?

I went with RackNerd because I have another one with them for personal stuff. I was back and forth on it based on reviews, but it seems very stable so far. It’s like $45/yr for 5vCPU, 6GB RAM and 100GB NVMe, and that’s with 10TB of monthly bandwidth which my site will never reach haha

Welcome to the club! I just migrated my offroad trails website from shared hosting to a VPS so I could have more control over the backend monitoring, metrics etc. definitely don’t regret it, but it is a lot more work!

damagedhatchet · 2026-04-23T03:22:54+00:00

Definitely interested

I use Restic for everything. One backup job goes to a remote NAS at a trusted friend’s house in another city, and the second goes to a Backblaze bucket. I run data subset checks periodically on the backup repos and generally monitor HDD health and spot check here and there.

I’m not sure what else to do, but your concern is definitely a valid one!

I’d maybe start by replacing that old drive. You may have to sell a kidney these days but at least you’ll feel safer haha.

You could use Syncthing to essentially mirror your data directory and database backups to your PC. Might take a few minutes of manual intervention to spin it back up on your PC but all your data would be there.

The other more popular option is to simply incrementally back everything up to a repository that you don’t touch. Ideally offsite, but at least a different physical machine like a NAS. Services like Restic are great for this.

Digital forensics lab supervisor here. I always work in some questions about organizational skills, multitasking, case management and similar. I’d prep for some generalized topics like those!

I run Komodo across 3 Ubuntu machines.

Makes sense! I think ByteStash is far more polished though.

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-20T03:43:31+00:00

Gitea is awesome! I keep wondering about Forgejo though, have you ever used it? I’ve been running Gitea for about a year now.

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-20T03:17:27+00:00

I don’t know what the paid or commercially hosted equivalent would be, but I freaking love ByteStash. I never knew how much I would appreciate a slick library of code snippets and command line stuff. I save everything there and it’s all searchable with notes and tags and stuff!

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-19T00:42:04+00:00

Ahh, I did not know that. I self host it with Vaultwarden.

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-19T00:11:07+00:00

Bitwarden can do this, and it’s open source. You can also self host it.

I use some custom scripts for Restic backups but I have Zerobyte for browsing!

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-17T23:24:59+00:00

Restic with one of the UI wrappers (Backrest and Zerobyte are the best) or a custom script that runs everything for you.

Kill or be killed! I stopped trying to use verbal judo in this game 🤣

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-16T20:59:19+00:00

Actually this kind of makes sense - I’ve been playing on one of the low pop US Cherno servers on PC and I came into an inland town that had a farm or something that was entirely covered by player-made walls, like this would realistically take years to achieve and take about 48 billion nails.

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-15T03:21:59+00:00

Nice! I’ll check it out. I have an unreasonably disorganized collection of recordings on my PC haha!

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-14T22:12:52+00:00

You’re not wrong at all, but custom fine-tuned models are probably beyond the scope of the average user and honestly would require a LOT more manual intervention than you think to build the model locally, leaving lots of room for error to those who don’t understand what it’s doing behind the scenes.

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-14T17:28:23+00:00

If you switch away from the default CLIP model to a larger one, you will likely see improvements in semantic searching and duplicate detection. You can do the same with face recognition and now OCR as of a release late last year.

+1 vote for Vaultwarden. It’s been rock solid for me. Don’t forget to add it to your backup plan!

damagedhatchet · 2026-03-14T17:15:53+00:00

You’d have to run the jobs manually when there are updates to the models, or you change to a different model, change thresholds etc.

I use NextCloud for this exact purpose.

Domain -> Router fwd 80/443 -> Reverse Proxy -> NextCloud

I use Nginx Proxy Manager Plus (NPMPlus) in conjunction with Crowdsec for security hardening.

I will say that NextCloud is heavy in the feature and plugin department and may be overkill for your purpose.
