The big thing is very easily mix and match different sizes of disks. ZFS as of recently can sort of do that, but its not as efficient.

I’ve never thought about instance drama or worried about any of that stuff, I just hang out and interact with the communities I like.

Maybe you’re overthinking things too much.

Sure as long as its able to be unlocked, it doesnt matter that you already switched.

Oh dang now I want to get a group together for that, I loved crysis multiplayer

For #3 every service will say something like that, even with paid accounts.

The main things that come to mind are you have to test/monitor 2 seperate actions instead of 1, and restores of single files could be more difficult since you need to login to the backup server, restore the file from a snapshot, then also copy that file back to your PC.

How does that get sent over rsync though? Wouldn’t you need snapshots on the remote destination server?

Why not just use a backup utility instead?

What happens if you accidentally overwrite something important in a document and save it though? If there’s no incremental versioning you can’t recover from that.

Yeah but then it’s not really a good backup!

Don’t log in to the container shell to edit files, just edit the file on your host directly.

Make sure the permissions allow the user searxng is running as access as well.

Nah there’s no debugging here, just edit the config file on the host where it’s stored exactly like you would on a native install.

Surely restic or borg would be better for backups?

Rsync can send files and not delete stuff, but there’s no versioning or retention settings.

Different tools for different use cases IMO.

But neither do backups.

Firefox (yep, the browser)

You can’t safely update anything even if it’s ‘stable’.

But I do auto update and just make sure my backups are working properly in case something breaks that I can’t fix.

Maybe for mDNS so the app can discover the appliance.

Or OpenVINO on an Intel CPU, works great and no extra hardware.

Potentially an overheating NVMe drive maybe? They can run quite hot without a heat sink on them.

Make sure you’re buying .com or another common standard TLD and not some weird TLD with super high prices.

And check the renewal price, if your registrar doesn’t make it very clear then go somewhere else.

Yeah in that case the app is just handy for searching or viewing photos by face.
