How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

Reply in thread

In my case, for Linux ISOs, is only needed to login in my usual private trackers and re-download my leeched torrents. For more niche content, like old school TV shows in local language, I would rely in the community. For even more niche content, like tankoubons only available at the time on DD services, I have a specific job but also relying in the same back up provider that I'm using for personal data.

Also, as it's important to remind to everyone, you must encrypt your backup no matter where you store it.

Privacy-focused code editors for beginners

Probably I'm going to be downvoted as f*ck, but if it's for HTML, CSS and JavaScript the most privacy respecting option could be vim or, with a pinch of salt, Notepad++ if you are on Windows. If you are learning grab a good reference book or website (I used w3school like 20 years ago) and break things. On a personal level, I never liked the "training wheels" that some editors force into you. But, could be that this isn't a quite popular opinion 😅

Edit: some fat-finger typos

Can you please ELI5 tmux?

Probably somebody can provide a better answer, but for me tmux is useful due that it has session manager (really useful if your remote connection drops) and the ability to split the screen in multiple screens (usually I split vertical, but you can create easily 4x4 screen).

The only trick is the learning curve of the actions (usually ctrl + b and the key required). For example to split the window vertical, you must do ctrl + b and then %.

But as I said, probably you will get better and more technical answers ^_^U

EDIT: some grammar mistakes.

What host names do you use?

I think a similar post came few time ago, but no ashamed in my case. I use late pet names, for me as a tribute to their memory. Also, I try to put some logic in the name, like the squirrel name for a lightweight VM with not much services / workload or dog name for the reverse proxy (guardian function).

Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available

Reply in thread

Came here to say the same. The integration with Collabora is wonderful. I used FileRun and FileBrowser with OnlyOffice in the past, and the experience was totally different (a part that OnlyOffice messes with Excel/Spreadsheets pivot tables, or at least one year ago, making it impossible for people to work with them). I understand the hate, but currently, at least for me, is the closest experience to O365 .

Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?

I have been in Nextcloud wagon for quite sometime, but latest versions or new features are not really in my use case. I just want a place to store my files and work with others (mostly family), nothing about AI assistants or the like.

With that said, I have a testing instance of Sync-in. So far is good, files are stored on my server and the structure makes it easy to backup (one of the reasons I dropped OpenCloud), collaboraCODE integration works really well, sharing spaces with family works OK.

The only missing feature is an Android client, like nextcloud, to store some files locally (something that you could need to be available and not be concerned about connectivity). As a workaround, I'm using syncthing (I'm aware of the android-app related drama, and that's why I would love to have an Android native client for Sync-in).
