This is sort of correct. Doing file level backups with restic to B2 for needed data files. The system can always bee reinstalled as needed, its the data on it that we need to save; not the whole thing. So 1 snapshot this month for last month of the whole system, a 'known-working-good'. Then did a bunch of updates, configurations, and restorations. Didn't need to roll back, so removed the snapshot.
Backups are still working just not doing it on DigitalOcean side.
In addition, the costs will be lower next month for DO as well. They charge you for the time a VPS is on. This month, the beefy expensive server was on for a 'few weeks' even though it wasn't serving 'beehaw.org'. Just needed to sync some things and files between that one and the new, smaller tier DO. Still charged for the time that expensive one was on. Next month (This one? Sep) won't have that beefy server on it at all. So; should see lower cost.
unrealistic expectations on GItHub project: 1) "high performance
For sure. That seems to be the go to phrase for anything developed in Rust. By itself, Rust isn't any safer or faster than another similar language; it takes a good developer to make it work well.
Just because it's written in Rust doesn't make your app safe, or performant. Just like because your app is written in C, doesn't mean it's buggy and insecure.
I love this channel! Seeing how different structures could be made like the wattle hut and roof tiles are really cool. Makes me want to get out there and do some of the same; but I don't have anywhere near his talent at that sort of thing. Impressive stuff.
I have it on a terminal multiplier (Tmux) and it highlights the window name when I receive what would be a notification. It does not send any other notifications cross terminal sessions though. Also does support notify-send for notifications for desktop environments, so if that's how you use it you should get GUI notifications.
Thanks. That size is above the limit of 4MB for image uploads to Beehaw. The error is not nicely presented to the UI and I'll work on fixing that. Please use a smaller image.
I use huginn. Takes some work to get it setup and do what you want. But its completely selfhosted and really powerful and simpler than writing your own one off ad-hoc scripts. Ask me how I know that...
Nicely laid out thanks Alyaza!
