Machine B is not publicly reachable though.

I don't think they have handles, like books, they're more like posts so you need the URL. I think, in activitypub, handles are for actors.

Cool list! I'll check it out

You can search for solarpunk, the results have a list tab. (OP is not the creator of the list)

Seems like Borg Backup Pull Mode does what I need, using sshfs:

That should work! I'll have to make sure it only syncs one direction but that's doable of course

[-] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 2 points 19 hours ago

Thanks, I'll have a look!

One machine is a cloud VM with LVM I think, the other is my NAS with zfs. I think with zfs to zfs it would easily work!

I do have a someserver, but it's a fediverse instance with around 60 monthly active users, and the server provider is more reliable than my ISP at home, so any downtime has a bit more impact. There's also another admin who needs access. Not saying never, but at the moment I'm just looking for a different backup solution, moving the whole thing has some more aspects to consider.

The data would only be copied once a day. I have to check the limits though, good point.

It's a VPS and I don't want to increase the monthly cost - in fact I want to decrease it by disabling the backups the hoster offers. Machine B is my NAS at home.

Of course, incremental would be preferable, but I'm not sure how that would work in that constellation.

I wonder if I can compress to B directly. Maybe I could mount a volume from B into A via wireguard and nfs, now that I think about it.

I run some services on machine A. I want to backup the data to machine B. It's around 40 gigabytes in thousands of small files. I would prefer to compress the data, but there's not enough space on machine A to keep the data twice (original + tar archive). I would like to avoid copying that many files via scp/rsync since it's taking forever and a bit fragile.

Any solutions on how to solve this? Is it possible to compress live on machine A and stream into the archive on machine B without the need to keep the big archive file on A?

Eventually, it's supposed to be automated and B has like the last 3 dailys, 1 weekly, 1 montly.

B can ssh into A.

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

Posting this here as I feel like similar things are happening in open source projects we like to host.

I wonder if the above is possible. I support some people on steady and get some exclusive posts for that. I get them per Email and can read them on the steady website.

Steady has subscription-specific RSS feeds, but only for podcasts as it seems (which also are the only results in my web searches).

Is anyone doing what I'm looking for? Some proxy that reads the emails and offers an RSS feed? (I'd rather not expose my imap credentials to a tool just to read some posts at a different place). Something that scrapes steady?

What's going on on your servers?

I had to bite the bullet and buy new drives after the old ones filled up. I went for used enterprise SSDs on eBay and eventually found some that had an okay price, even though it's been much more than last time I got some. Combined with Hetzner's hefty price increase some month ago, my hobby has become a bit more expensive again thanks to the ever growing appetite of companies building more data centers to churn more energy.

Anyways, the drives are in, my Ansible playbook to properly encrypt them and make them available in Proxmox worked, so that was smooth (ignoring the part where I disassembled the Lenovo tiny from the rack, open it, SSD out, SSD in, close it and put it back in only to realize I put in the old ssd again).

Any changes in your hardware setups? Did the price increase make you reconsider some design decisions? Let us know!
