A kind of “extended” 3-2-1, more a 4-3-2. As nearly everything I host runs on Docker, I usually pause the stack, .tar.bz everything and back that up on several devices (NAS, off-site machine, external HDD).
The neat thing about keeping every database in its own container is the resulting backup “package”, which can easily be restored as a whole without having to mess with db dumps, permissions, etc.
I back up everything to my home server… then I run out of money and cross my fingers that it doesn’t fail.
Honestly though my important data is backed up on a couple of places, including a cloud service. 90% of my data is replaceable, so the 10% is easy to keep safe.
I’m paying Google for their enterprise gSuite which is still “unlimited”, and using rclone’s encrypted drive target to back up everything. Have a couple of scripts that make tarballs of each service’s files, and do a full backup daily.
It’s probably excessive, but nobody was ever mad about the fact they had too many backups if they needed them, so whatever.
I run my own Mailserver on a vps with mailcow dockerized. Was a real pain to set up, even through it mostly works right now.
DNS stuff isn’t just some A or AAAA records, also txt stuff reverse DNS and much more. As the others said, that’s completely impossible with a regular ISP.
I’m on some dumb blacklist because my IP is obviously in the IP range of my hosting provider, and some lists generally block all vps ranges.
Now imagine the following: your bank wants to contact you and your primary mail is selfhosted, for some reason they block your IP (yes outgoing blocks, those idiots) and you don’t get some real important mail. Or your server is down for maintenance, certificate issues, so on.
The best solution is most probably letting a professional email holster take care of your domain, for email at least. Protonmail offers that but the problem I have with them is that they don’t allow a regular login through thunderbird, restricted to their own software.
I want to do a setup where i use mailcow at home for receiving emails but Amazon ses SMTP for sending, it’s possible? Looks like it is, but i didn’t investigate it
The community, particularly Beehaw, is fantastic! I love it.
Lemmy itself needs a lot of work. It’s incredibly far behind, but my expectations are staying measured and I’m excited to see how it develops. Right now it’s not a case of me enjoying the platform itself, but more so ‘putting up’ with the limitations of the platform to access the nice community.
Jerboa is the mobile client I’m using currently, and it’s off to a good start but needs a lot of fixes to be fully usable. Such as sorting comments and searching. The ability to easily click a button to jump to the next comment thread is my most missed feature as well from clients such as Boost for Reddit.
Additionally, I still have issues signing into the mobile website. I can sign in through Jerboa or the Beehaw website on desktop, but not on mobile (or at least not always). So I’m often navigating content on the mobile website, then using Jerboa to comment on it. Most won’t deal with these issues, but I’m still holding out to see what comes from it all.
A couple of last side notes, it’s really annoying to need to click on the title, and not being able to click on the text of a post to navigate (mobile site) - and visually it needs some improvements to draw more people in. That last part seems minor, and for a large part of the existing community, myself included, it truly is minor - but for widespread adoption it needs a big revamp.
I have it running on my microk8s single node cluster. It’s a dual xeon (40 cores total) with unfortunately only 64gb ram. The motherboard’s max. I got a das with 72tb storage, currently in btrfs mirrored. Hoping btrfs raid-like configs become more usable in the future. I was using zfs but I always ran into issues.
Fallout: NV and Skyrim. People kept recommending them to me but neither really clicked. I put about 20 hours into each before just kinda dropping them and not looking back. Even tried mods since everyone says they’re better modded, but just found I was spending more time modding the games than playing them. Maybe Bethesda games just aren’t my thing.
Just made the change to a Pixel 6a from my really old Samsung Galaxy.
My only requirement was about size. I wanted something “smaller”, first I thought about going with a newer Samsung from their mid-range ‘A’ category, but after seeing how big those things were, I decided to look outside the Samsung ecosystem.
I discovered GrapheneOS and as an open-source enthusiast, I really liked the idea. The professionalism of the dev team and the bloat free aspect of the OS made me get a Pixel.
The size is not that bad, but I wish it would be a bit smaller. So far I’m really liking it. I love the camera of this thing (even without GCam). The physical button placement was a bit weird for me at first, but I’ve gotten used to it.
I usually abuse my phones till they die, so I was looking for something that would last and I really think that I will be able to go for 5 years with this phone without an issue.
