There just was a fire alarm.

Again.

I didn’t expect this to happen so often. My strategy for making backups of my data isn’t good enough. The risk of all this shit actually burning down is real.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I cannot recommend restic enough and a good TB or 2 External USB Disk 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I need to switch to something like restic or borg. And probably a big storage server at a hoster like Hetzner. 🤔

I do have several layers of backups already, even offsite ones, but it requires me carrying external HDDs around. That used to be acceptable for me (or maybe I was just being naive). But now I’m living in a 20-story building and there are SO MANY IDIOTS in close proximity who might fuck shit up … Fire is a real threat.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Honestly restic + Object Storage with whoever you like is “good enough”™. Backblaze B2’s Object Storage is still the most cost effective and competitive in the market.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh shit! A false alarm or was something actually on fire?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org There was an actual fire: The building was evacuated and I saw a burnt-down trash container. Sounds harmless, but these containers are inside of our building. (Because …) So this was an actual, real danger. Not as bad as some appartment being on fire, of course, but still. When I left my appartment, I could smell it and I just thought: “Yep. This is it.” 😐

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, restic it is. 👍 Looks like the best option.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good man 👍
