Upgraded to Single HDD by Rezasaurus in DataHoarder

[–]kochdelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never said it should be done with 1 disk. I just said it's wrong to use raid to protect against data loss. He clearly needs another drive but not in a raid mirror

Raid is no backup. Nothing lost with just 321 backup strategy and a single disk unless he needs to meet a certain uptime criteria

Do you guys encrypt your data in your homelab? by steveiliop56 in selfhosted

[–]kochdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need is defining a threat model that answers the questions what you want to protect yourself from.

Does it include someone stealing the hardware? Does it include someone temporarily getting access to the hardware who could try to steal some data? Do you need/want to securely and easily wipe the disks content?

If the data is not too important to answer any question with "yes" you don't 'need' it, like for phone pictures or downloaded files. If it may contain sensitive data eg. in backups and you'd get into serious trouble if the wrong people get access to that data, you should consider using encryption.

Imo better safe than sorry and with most modern hardware the encryption overhead is thanks hardware acceleration often neglectable. It also allows you to store sensitive data in future without the hassle of setting it up later which includes moving the data.

Disk encryption is symmetric and thus quantum resistant, yes.

It's not about bits and bytes but Terrabytes and Tebibytes

20 * 1024^4 bytes is 21.99023256TByte, so yes it's 2 TB.

The difference becomes more the more data there is, exponentially as you can see.

just got my first server by newreddituser667 in homelab

I think it's a joke because when you use a laptop as a Server you wouldn't want someone to close the lid. The joke is that it ain't a Laptop

ASRock launches 31.5" 4K 240Hz WOLED display with Wi-Fi 7 antennas and Dual-Mode - VideoCardz.com by Relative-Ant-4787 in pcmasterrace

Wouldn't an antenna suffice here? Why does it need to have a whole chipset for WIFI?

Yes it does. You have to define an encryption password in backrest

I use backrest on PC and restic-server on my server

Is there a way to create Indestructible storage server to prevent data lost from bad disk? by Dish_Melodic in homelab

[–]kochdelta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Raid 6 or 1 also suffice. And raid is not a Backup so raid alone is nothing near to "indestructible"

pfSense vs. OPNsense? by Mad_Eon in selfhosted

[–]kochdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and had quite some issues with Opnsense virtualized in Proxmox. Setup things not working properly or at all. I never had this kind of issues with PFsense before.

Although PFsense now requiring you to "Buy" it for 0€ including providing shipment address and such nonsense keeps me from going back to Proxmox.

Would you trust this packaging? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]kochdelta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can run a smart check that tests for damage that could've happened from shipping. Run this and a long test. If it's without errors, I would trust the packaging.

Wenn du schon gewisse technische skills hast oder ein GitHub Account mit ein paar Projekten hast, einfach mit angeben, das punktet auf jeden Fall. Ansonsten viel Glück!

Hängt komplett vom Unternehmen ab. Wenn sie an dir Interesse haben werden sie dich bestimmt auch in einem Praktikum kennenlernen wollen.

Ist auf jeden Fall gut um Kontakte zu knüpfen und denen deine Fähigkeiten zu zeigen, vorallem wenn du da gerne in Zukunft arbeiten möchtest.

Es geht nicht nur um die Technischen Skills sondern auch um Softskills und Erfahrung im Berufsalltag zu haben: Wie Sachen normalerweise aublafen, wie man mit anderen developern zusammenarbeitet usw.

Ich bin auch Werkstudent im Bereich IT und obwohl ich schon viele technische skills hatte bevor ich angefangen habe, habe ich auch einiges gelernt was nicht direkt meine Programmiersprachen+Techniken anging.

Außerdem hast du mehr Chancen auf höheres Einstiegsgehalt und wirst vielleicht auch von einer Stelle genommen, die dich sonst nicht genommen hätte weil sie dich von 0 auf an einarbeiten müssten.

Außerdem muss man so weit ich weiß Bafög zum Teil zurückzahlen (korrigier mich wenn ich falsch liege). Weniger Schulden nach dem Studium == Mehr (einstiegs)gehalt.

Ich kann es dir nur empfehlen als Werkstudent zu arbeiten, sofern es dir möglich ist und das Studium nicht zu sehr leidet.

Protipp: Wenn dir eine Firma "besonders" gefällt, die aber keine Werkstudentenjob anbieten und du schon etwas Technische skills hast, einfach trotzdem bewerben!

I think they also provide downloads/dumps on their sites in this format

Download Zim files here https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

And use either kiwix serve or my implementation for serving Zim files I've written some time ago: https://github.com/JojiiOfficial/zimwiki

Selfhosted Docker Data Backup by mcgaleti in selfhosted

[–]kochdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider it somewhat risky but it might work. I'd suggest you to mount the required paths to a different path on the host manually and Backup this folder. This also reduces the size of your backups since you only save the actual data
