After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

I left when they fucked over 3rd party apps.

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

When you run ipconfig in the windows terminal, it will give you a bunch of info. I can’t remember the exact name it will be, but it’s almost certainly going to be 192.168.something.something. The only other line that will look similar will be the ‘default gateway’, which will probably end with .1.

Go into the settings of that smb thingie on your iPhone, and change the address (192.168.etc) to match what the Windows machine says.

As for setting the static IP, I can help more if you tell me the make and model of your router.

Yes, you need to change the address on your iPhone. Beyond that, you should look at setting your router to give a static IP address to your Windows computer, so that it doesn’t ever change.

Take a look again. The 255.etc is probably the subnet mask. The actual IPv4 is probably 192.168.etc. Whatever that IP address is needs to match what you have set in your iPhone files location.

I’ve got a little NUC-type computer (Beelink or something) that runs Linux Mint. I like the desktop interface for switching between browser, YouTube apps and Jellyfin. We use a full size wireless keyboard with a trackpad.

You can manipulate that by spamming new posts.

I know an old geologist who has a peculiar hobby to amuse himself. He takes big rocks from somewhere they naturally occur, and transports them to remote areas where they have no business being. His idea is 100% to confuse future geologists.

OpenSSL?

Check out Yunohost. In my experience it is way easier to setup and manage than docker. I’ve been using it for years and it continues to improve and add more supported software.

My problem is I’m always rocking an old thinkpad, and I don’t want to “waste” any good stickers on something that could break at any moment. Better leave the stickers in a drawer.

Drop it on a cop from a high window.

Gross. Fuck FUTO.

Whoa dude. Deep.

Who is the legitimate governing body in Gaza, if not Hamas, bro?

I’ve never heard about Hamas torturing Israeli prisoners. There are videos from the last 2 days showing the differences between prisoners from both sides being released. The ones released by Hamas et al look happy and healthy, while the ones released by Israel look traumatized and half dead.

Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.

It’s fine for other people, but I wouldn’t want it for myself.
