Yes. That’s not mutually exclusive with Backblaze having access to your backups.

They only needed about 500GB.

And personal is for desktop systems. You have to use Backblazes macOS/Windows desktop application, and the setup is not zero-knowledge on Backblazes part. They literally advertise being able to ship you your files on a physical device if need be.

Which some people are ok with, but not what most of us would want.

Recently helped someone get set up with backblaze B2 using Kopia, which turned out fairly affordable. It compresses and de-duplicates leading to very little storage use, and it encrypts so that Backblaze can’t read the data.

Kopia connects to it directly. To restore, you just install Kopia again and enter the same connection credentials to access the backup repository.

My personal solution is a second NAS off-site, which periodically wakes up and connects to mine via VPN, during that window Kopia is set to update my backups.

Kopia figures out what parts of the filesystem has changed very quickly, and only those changes are transferred over during each update.

Yes please.

I’d love libreoffice in a browser, but the way collabora achieves it is abysmal.

It’s non-starter for technical, too.

You have to ship client updates to all your users.

So, you think she should live in physical and mental agony, so dad doesn’t have to be sad?

If it went like that, if her dad ever emotionally matures enough to feel the guilt of forcing her to do that, the mental hit he’d take would be a million times worse.

At that point, not only would the daughter be in pain, it would be his fault.

None of this involves self-diagnosis. You can’t just ask for assisted suicide. Like others are commenting, in countries that allow it, the pricess is rigorous.

Kopia is my recommendation. I’d be happy to help get it working.

The featureset and performance in comparison to Borg/Restic make it the best choice for a lot of cases.

Borg is excellent, but it does require management access at both ends, and is more complex to use.

Kopia is quite simple, once you have it set up. Including its restore options.

Self hosting Stoat is a nightmare at the moment.

Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.

At least the desktop app now supports connecting to custom instances, but it’s by launch option, not the GUI.

All that said, my understanding was that you give the code to your friends, and they have to enter it during signup.

Enabling invite-only doesn’t remove the signup functionality, it adds authentification, so only people with the invite code can pass.

Oh, what’s the speedtest server?

I’ve not run into that yet myself, but I’d love to have one of those.

Yup.

It makes you think about not just where you point it, but everything it might “slice” as you handle it.

Or even how you set it down, or move around one sitting on a table.

Yes.

Essentially always pretend there’s a deadly and infinite laser coming from the muzzle.

He was gonna teach her gun safety, with a loaded gun while not respecting trigger discipline or the laser rule?

I’d say that’s “a likely story” but the man’s a Trumper so it’s exactly the kind of stupid I’d expect.

Virtualtabletop can be selfhosted.

We use it to play Blokus, Rummikub and more with family all over the country. All a player needs, is a device with a browser, and a link to join a given table. Grandma uses an android tablet to play Rummikub with us.

The games already implemented are many, and you can contribute your own.

If you have access to another device, you can log into icloud.com and remotely log out of the phone.

Files “deleted” from icloud can also be restored on icloud.com/recovery for up to 30 days after deletion.

Absolutely.

But this shit is falling apart a lot sooner than the nazi party did.

The Nazis were true zealots, while Trump is just a grifter, wrapped in so many lies there are no longer words he might spew that are capable of making sense to anyone paying attention. Additionally, a lot of people around him are in it for personal gain, not some sense of ideals.

You know, I’m grateful.

Hitler lost his grip on reality, after he started the second world war.

Nazi germany had a terrifying amount of terrible, and competent, people on its side.

Trump’s administration might be terrible… But competent?

Makes sense. He is one.

Too true.

Gowron?

Sorry, I must’ve misremembered about systemd. It’s how my installs start up, and the unit file is not in the usual location for systemd units I’ve created myself, so my assumption was it came with Kopia. There is no systemd timer though, and one isn’t needed.

Edit: Just confirmed no systemd file came with kopia on my system either, my mistake.

in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.

Was Kopia running during that time?

If you run Kopia commands, then it will perform the instructed task, and then exit. It will obviously not do anything after completing whatever command was given, as the process will have exited, leaving no kopia process running on the system. This is for when you use it in cron or your own scripts.

The other way of doing things is to run it in server mode kopia server start, which will set it running as a background daemon. When running, it allows you to log into the web interface or configure it via cli to do whatever you like. And as long as the process starts along with the host system, that’s all there is to it.

How the daemon is set up to start, doesn’t really matter.
