Because that serve different purposes. rsync is for moving data around, synchronization of such. It has no concept of point in time restoration, or snapshots (etc) that really define a backup solution. I use restic because its the proper tool for the job.

Clonezilla has its place, but not as a main backup and restoration tool. I personally don't see it as a backup tool, especially that it operates at partition level for such. What you want is you base install system and file level backups for your data (/home/) etc. For the file level backups, use something like restic. Backup what you need to go from a fresh install to a system with your data back on it. Packages can be reinstalled.

Restic is my primary backup for all my devices. If I need something more than fresh iso -> my data system, I use packer.

I don't understand how this part is actually legal. My Reddit user received a PM from official reddit account with the following:

I laugh about the language used in that, but also little bit infuriated. How is this, a special program that lets redditors purchase stock considered a good thing for me the end user, in any universe?

 

Congrats on all you've done to help us get to here You 'reward' is, you get to spend more @$%@!# MONEY, on us here at Reddit to help Spezzie retire early.

What the, tone deaf, and I can't stress this enough FUCK.

users should be able to visit the post to determine whether it was a sensible moderation move.

Lemmy does not offer that capability in the slightest. Their codebase is open source, please feel free to contribute to the improvements you'd like to see.

        Difference between hidden and removed and even deleted.

  

Does Lemmy give those three different actions?

Not in its native form no.

Why would an off topic post be removed and not hidden?

Say this again to yourself and thunk about it.

Does that mean a site-wide rule was broken?

Not going to play rules lawyer with you.

a civil conversation that was started in the wrong community.

Thus the item was removed from that community. What is the problem here?

don’t be shy about joining the discussion.

I think you're arguing in bad faith. We aren't powerless when it comes to Beehaw, but certainly when it comes to Lemmy software overall. That is in fact, part of the problem. We aren't shy, we collectively have identified, fixed, contributed to and organized a ton of Lemmy shortcomings and bugs. Yet other bugs/requests and solutions go ignored or 'closed' due to the Lemmy devs not agreeing that certain things are a problem, or inline with what we need for community standards or administrative controls.

It gets very very tiring trying to improve a product you use constantly, just to be told to GTFO "We don't see it as a problem"

Go look at the PRs and issues we've raised for Lemmy. In addition, observe the attempts at solving the identified problems, not just complaining about them.

My friend, lack of transparency is not something that Beehaw has ever been accused of before. In terms of evaluating mods, neither mods or admins are on users payroll. There's not really a concept of users evaluating mods or mod decisions for Beehaw. However, you may be interested in the modlog which is public.

Can you explain a bit more about how or what is causing this lack of transparency?

the UI is broken enough to render a dysfunctional reply mechanism.

100% Agreed, a lot of dysfunctional with regards to the UI and BE interoperability. I'll add your specific issue into my list of Lemmy annoyances to try and fix for Beehaw.

Removed threads should still be reachable and interactive

Personal opinion; Nope. Utterly no. Defeats the point of removing a topic from discussion. Difference between hidden and removed and even deleted. You want the first. Admin or mods removing a thread, should not be accessible to anyone else. Maybe a certain subset of admins for review/restoration as needed. But certainly not the public facing internet, where even if it's hidden on a timeline, a direct link still gives access to it. That should not be the case.

What’s the point in blocking a discussion that’s no longer visible from the timeline?

The point is in removing said 'discussion' from the platform. This is not censorship, this is how we keep the purpose of Beehaw inline with the ethos.

pong

Lots of identified issue with ranking for stories and comments with current Lemmy. That is one of them as well as the negative votes/comment count when an item is removed. Hoping that the 0.19.x branch of Lemmy will solve some of those things.

Does bring up other questions too though:

• why is a removed comment/post still visible to standard users?
• why do certain places still show the content of the removed item?
• why aren't those removed items at the bottom of the list to begin with, if shown?

Etc. No answer for you specifically right now but Ill put it on 'the list' to track down and try to have a Beehaw solution for.

Not sure if that's a good thing.

It's not. Power hungry individuals only want more power, not the responsibility the signed up for.

Gaaaaaaaaaayayyyyyyyyy _/s

Thanks for catching that mixup.

Damn good question. No answer for you, but good question.

Exactly. Windows already has this functionality with runas and this implantation doesn't improve on it at all.

Can't decide if this response is Absence of Evidence or Black Swan fallacy. Either way, just because you haven't experienced something, doesn't mean its false.

Certainly! Check out some of his other covers. Large selection of good sounds.

Don't you mean, share my GNU mug with you ? The extra 'New' is redundant :P Definitely a smug mug.

Damn. Sad news.

Thanks for noticing and the kudos. I still owe @Phrey@lemmy.sdf.org and @TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id a write up on a few things Beehaw. The main differences between the Reddit influx and today, are the user numbers are lower now, and a lot of optimizations for the various moving pieces.

Right now Beehaw is on one beefy VPS, same server for frontend, backend and database. Load balancing the front end was happening for a while, but really didn't have any improvements over a single one due to the DB handling anyway. I'm exploring a few different methods to get Beehaw load balanced and especially a more resilient database structure, but don't want to increase the cost 10 fold. That's another 4 posts worth of info though.

We are aware of that issue, though it appears to be a long standing issue with Lemmy software; not specific to Beehaw. What version of Lemmy software is your other instance running?
