@movq@www.uninformativ.de My workflow is as follows.

I hit “reply” hotkey and my editor comes up.

With or without writing something I close my editor without saving the content.

Of course I close it by C-x C-c, not by :q! ;-)

Jenny finds the temp file unchanged, e.g. it’s content is the same as it was when my editor was started. I would like that jenny discards the reply then.

Autosaving is no problem either. Real editors do this to a temporary (kind of backup) file. Only in case of a crash that file is consulted and the user is asked if she would like to continue with that stored content.

My home and code server now has 2 TB of SSD storage and 16 GB of RAM. While I’ll be using the storage for backups, etc., I’m not quite sure what I can use the 16 GB of RAM for yet. What else can I run besides Home Assistant, AdGuard Home, Drone and Tailscale? I still have my VPS running my websites, Miniflux, Bitwarden, Firefox Sync Server, RSS-Bridge, Firefly III, Nitter and Gitea. 🤔 ⌘ Read more

Getting started with Restic for my backup needs. It’s really neat and fast.

@lucididiot@tilde.town thank you for the backup! i agree that wiki is in dire need of some maintenance but that hardly seems like a reason to just up and delete it…

I get slightly nervous when my backup program does full uploads of FLAC files that shouldn’t have changed at all and should only be a checksum match

Soooo. My whole public_html folder is gone. twtxt as well. Hope I can find a backup somewhere

Somehow, http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/2016-09-01_A-Qualified-Defense-of-Jargon—Other-In-Group-Signifiers-2fe2cd37b66b.html is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was pretty even-handed. Do people dislike it because I said culture fit should only matter when it impacts effectiveness, or that it’s useful at all?

In case anybody cares, I’ve fixed up my mirror of all my medium posts. (Useful if you are a cheapskate!) As always, I prefer people with a medium account to actually go there & clap so I get a dime. http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I switched from this option to giving my remote user root privileges only for the backup operation with sudo. Then you can just copy the files without thinking about the option to restore right ownership.

Old school liches store their souls in crypts, modern ones encrypt their minds and make backups. The rules stay the same: don’t touch that.

Backing up and restoring GPG keys
If you use GPG to occasionally encrypt and/or sign your email, or to encrypt your files before placing them on the cloud, you will understand how important it is to have a backup of your GPG keys. Similarly important will be to know how to restore them as well.

To back your private, and public keys, as well as your trust database, you will do1:

iCloud mess
Having lost many photos of certain sentimental value a few years ago has made me paranoid. Ever since I lost my child’s first four years of photographic memory I have kept copies of our family photos and videos in two different places.

Cloud backup
I have a NAS at home, a Synology DS411J, which we use for backups, and to keep our family photos and videos. It works great, no complains here, but I am looking to keep an outside backup. A backup in the cloud, to be precise.

The choices are:

• Amazon Drive
  
• Amazon AWS S3
  
• Google Drive
  
• [Apple iCloud](https://w … ⌘ Read more
