Backups are the most overlooked part of getting into self hosting. You’re basically a sysadmin now, you have to act like one. Get remote storage (cloud, friend / family house, hdd in a safety deposit box, etc…) and get your 3-2-1 on

Ask truth social, wrong audience here

Love this, i’m using the GladOS voice

Easy, reliable backups are key. I’ve used komodo with automatic updates for over a year and watchtower before that for a couple more. I’ve only had one issue when Nginx Proxy Manager had a release that deleted all of its own data. Didn’t take long to realize that the services were still up and what the problem was. Restored the missing data from Proxmox backups, pinned the Nginx version for a while, then turned auto update on again. I’ll stick to this until checking updates is less work than fixing the occasional problem

For the record, i literally said “if the math works out” 😁

I kinda compare it to semi truck weigh stations. I found out some time ago that if the math works out that a truck got from one weigh station to another too fast the driver can get a speeding ticket since its assumed they broke the law getting there. Apply that to money. If a person accumulates too much money, it should just be assumed that person broke laws getting it and they should be severly fined (like, most of it).

What year is it? Hasn’t this been general geek knowledge for over a decade?

My entire setup uses less than 100W at idle. That includes:

• Pi 4b (1 USB HDD)
• HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini
• Custom ITX N150 NAS (4 HDD)
• Wireless router
• Switch
• Modem
