That very much depends on your backup of choice, that's also the point. How do you recover your backup?

Start with a manual recover a backup and unpack it, check import files open. Write down all the steps you did, how do you automate them.

Untill you test a backup it's not complete, how you test it is up to you.

If you upload to a remote location, pull it down and unpack it. Check that you can open import files, if you can't open it then the backup is not worth the dick space

There's some really good options in this thread, just remember that whatever you pick. Unless you test your backups, they are as good as not existing.

Look for the new if, then if on turn on light. Else turn the light off.

I would prefer, why 2fa everywhere is important. But not SMS!

If you have 2fa on accounts, your password is only 1 bit of the login. Passkeys or yubikeys will stop most login attempts dead, you can't send them to anyone.

But yes unique passwords also help, as that 1 service is the only thing with that password.

welp, I use Vivaldi without any user-agent switching and it works fine

I migrated from KeePass2 as the the DB would get out of sync and need to be merged back together. Thats why I moved to Vaultwarden, I like having my data on my own stuff

I second Vaultwarden, have been running it for a few years and even had a catastrophic host failure that I recovered from. was able to use the clients on both phone and laptop while building new host

There is a backup image you can run to take backups of the SQLite DB, used that a few times as the DB got tangled.

Also anything you host should have a good 3-2-1 backup strategy

if it helps, I run Lemmy and dont stop the database at all.

I mount a back directory to the container and then run the bellow to do the backup.

    
dockerID=$(docker ps | grep lemmy_postgres | awk '{print $1}')
docker exec ${dockerID} /usr/local/bin/pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy | gzip > /mnt/backups/lemmy/lemmy_dump_`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`.sql.gz

  

replace the lemmy_postgres with your funkwhale name.

If you have a Google workspace, use that for IDP.

Sage might have a connector for that, then when looking for anything to run or saas. Check if they have any IDP connectors, openID or SAML.

Also, why not start scanning all your stuff into your Google workspace, make shared drives for teams/groups of users.

The news app has got a lot of love in the past 6 months, I think it also does podcasts.

There is a mobile app that you can use to collect from nextcloud

I once had to use both remote and local forwarding to update a remote Linux server from my windows laptop, from a virtual machine on my laptop.

You could read the documentation that each link points to, you might need to have console or SSH access to the server

You could start a Lemmy community with the current book in the community info, then use theeads to discuss each book

Pushover here, they have critical alert I think.

Use it for my nagios alert, home assistant and other command line stuff.

Super cheap at $5 one off payment and then 10000 messages per application. I have about 5 applications, so 10k*5.

The way I have my file, is a load of default stuff. Like block windows ports and allow SSH.

With a for loop that adds stuff for a specific host, like allow http/s for the web server.

That's the point of the template, you change the bits the need change and the bits that are static get templated

I have used both, can tell you that a template file of /etc/iptables/rules.v4 with iptables-persistent is the easiest way.

if you go the full IaC route and have vars for the rules, remember to get iptables to save its state after you have applied your rules

All I can tell you from my decades of Linux use is, the memory management is very odd.

But yes more free memory should help keep things running shooth, if you have the memory leave it as is

That's how Linux manages it memory, it will use free memory as file cache till it needs it. Then free up memory for process use.

If your only half using the memory for actual services, you may want to reduce it.
