foonex, to selfhosted in Server box just died, recommendations for a new one?

Are you going fangless?

I would definitely go fangless. I have been bitten enough times. A bite might also transfer viruses. Nowadays I defang all my computers.

foonex, to de_edv in Wie verkabelt ihr euer Netzwerk zu Hause?

Kann aus eigener Erfahrung berichten, dass dabei der Durchsatz leider oft auch nicht berauschend ist.

foonex, to linux in Who does flatpak/snap benefit?

But then why bother to package the game for the distro in the first place?

foonex, to foss in Looking for journaling apps

Sorry, but you are mistaken. Joplin definitely encrypts data at rest if you enable end-to-end encryption: joplinapp.org/e2ee/

foonex, to privacy in Meeting new roommates for college and I suggested Signal and this was someone's response. I hate Gen Z.

Discord is not very privacy-oriented. We‘re in a privacy-oriented community here, so Discord should raise an eyebrow, not Signal, which is famously privacy-oriented.

foonex, to de_edv in Word is a bitch!

Deswegen habe ich die Hoffnung, dass sich Typst mittelfristig zu einer echten Alternative entwickelt. TeX merkt man seiner Alter leider an. Vieles würde man heute anders machen. Da Typst ein komplett neu entwickeltes Textsatzsystem ist, können sie alte Zöpfe abschneiden und müssen nicht den Ballast eines halben Jahrhunderts mitschleppen. Es ist beeindruckend, was das Projekt schon erreicht hat.

foonex, to deutschland in Wegen Sonntagsöffnung: Selbstbedienungsläden sorgen für Streit

Ich habe Freunde, die im Einzelhandel arbeiten. Ich gönne denen sehr, dass sie wenigstens einen festen Tag in der Woche auf jeden Fall planbar und regelmäßig frei haben.

Wer es nicht schafft seine Einkäufe von Montag bis Samstag zu erledigen, hat die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren.

foonex, to linux in I just started using Linux... any great tips?

There‘s no reason not to use both. For some things a GUI file manager is more convenient.

foonex, (edited ) to games in Translators for Baldurs Gate 3 worked for 3 years translating more than 1 million words and Altagram Group only credited their execs and leads

If in fact being listed in credits is that important, why wasn’t it in their contract?

Maybe because of the usual power imbalance between employer and employee? If there are enough other applicants, employers can dictate the terms. It‘s a bit like saying to a coal miner: “Oh, if not dying from black lung disease is sooo important to you, why wasn‘t that in your contract?”

“I see a lot of white knighting”

I hate this term. If you call people who care about injustices “white knights”, what do you call the people who go out of their way to defend injustices and take the side of the more powerful parties?

foonex, to technology in Can anyone recommend me a setup to virtualize Linux under Windows that runs smoothly?

32 GB should be plenty of RAM for this scenario.

foonex, (edited ) to opensource in BorgBackup – Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption

tl;dr Duplicity does full or incremental backups, BorgBackup only does full backups but with deduplication.

After the first backup with Duplicity, you can choose to do an incremental backup which will only store the data that has changed since the last backup. This saves time and disk space but you have to do slow full backups regularly. See question 3 of the FAQ.

BorgBackup alway does a full backup. But it divides all data into chunks or blocks (don’t know what they call it exactly at the moment). It then hashes those chunks and stores them in a content-addressed storage layer. So it basically works like Git under the hood (plus encryption). If a chunk doesn’t change between backups it‘s already there and does not have to be stored again. A backup is always a full index of the data.

With today‘s fast processors and hashing algorithms, a backup with Borg should be just as fast as an incremental backup with Duplicity. If you ask me deduplicated backups are just plain superior.

Another tool that works like BorgBackup is Restic, which I prefer. Both are good choices that I would trust with my data.

foonex, to linux in help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up

Do you know what takes up the space? Something like gdu or ncdu will help you analyze the problem.

foonex, to selfhosted in Considerations for a homeserver thats open to the internet? (Jellyfin / Nextcloud)

Great, I accidentally deleted my original comment because the Lemmy web interface doesn’t ask for confirmation when you click the delete button. And the buttons are so small on mobile that it‘s really easy to click the wrong button.

If you want to use these features for security, access them manually. But, OP said they are kind of a noob. Telling them to just use containers is dangerous and leads to false assumptions.

You are absolutely correct. I should have stated explicitly that I didn’t mean docker and/or using pre-built container images. I was talking about something like systemd-nspawn. And you are right that I should not have brought this up in this context. I will edit my original comment.

So, putting a process in its own network, file-system, user etc. namespace does not increase security in your opinion?
