GammaScorpii , to selfhosted in How do you guys back up your server?

TrueNAS zfs snapshots, and then a weekly Cron rsync to a servarica VPS with unlimited expanding storage.

If you use a VPS as a backup target, you can also format it with ZFS and use replication. Sending snapshots is faster than using file-level backup tool, especially with a lot of small files.

GammaScorpii ,

Interesting, I have noticed it’s very slow with initial backups. So snapshot replication sends one large file? What if you want to recover individual files?

ThetaDev ,
@ThetaDev@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

You can access ZFS snapshots from the hidden .zfs folder at the root dir of your volume. From there you can restore individual files.

There is also a command line tool (httm) that lists all snapshotted versions of a files and allows you to restore them.

If the snapshot you want to restore from is on a remote machine, you can either send it over or scp/rsync the files from the .zfs directory.

Bucket_of_Truth , to nostupidquestions in Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?

If you're on the same network I would just use Filezilla ftp client. Download it on both devices and you can transfer whatever between them.

Are you planning on keeping the old laptop? If it's not a proprietary drive type you could probably just take it out and pop it into your new computer. Most newer laptops can support two
SSD. If they're both M.2 drives you wouldn't even need a new cable, just a screwdriver.

gkpy , to selfhosted in Any recommendations for a web IDE/code editor?

the ssh client breaks the format

could you elaborate what you were doing here? like vim on the server via ssh tunnel?

pe1uca OP ,

The SSH clients I’ve tried do weird things with the pasted code most of the times removing new lines, so I need to copy line by line, and even then it sometimes inserts line breaks where there aren’t.

Most probable what I’ll end up doing is use a regular mobile text editor and sync with git or via FTP to just copy paste the files.

gkpy ,

I sometimes use termux to very rarely edit stuff on a remote box via ssh and I haven’t had that kind of issue

for the most part just the fact that SSH as a protocol is not super reliable on a (sometimes) spotty wifi/mobile connection (this could be solved with something like mosh)

the other big thing is using vim with the android keyboard. which is just a major pain haha

I think you could use jmp.chat for that, it’s based on the foss xmpp protocol as well, which is a plus in my book. Unfortunately the service is only available in the US and canada at the moment…

EuphoricPenguin22 OP , to selfhosted in VPS Hosting Lemmy Started Spiking in Usage Today
@EuphoricPenguin22@normalcity.life avatar

Oh, and for completeness:

  • We’ve deleted the vast majority of the spam bots that spammed our instance, are currently on closed registration with applications, and have had no anomalous activity since.
  • Our server is essentially always at 50% memory (1GB/2GB), 10% CPU (2 vCPUs), and 30% disk (15-20GB/60GB) until a spike. Disk utilization does not change during a spike.
  • Our instance is relatively quiet, and we probably have no more than ten truly active users at this point. We have a potential uptick in membership, but this is still relatively slow and negligible.
  • This issue has happened before, but I assumed it was fixed when I changed the PostgreSQL configuration to utilize less RAM. This is still the longest lead-up time before the spikes started.
  • When the spike resolves itself, the instance works as expected. The issues with service interruptions seems to stem from a drastic increase in resource utilization, which could be caused by some software component that I’m not aware of. I used the Ansible install for Lemmy, and have only modified certain configuration files as required. For the most part, I’ve only added a higher max_client_body_size in the nginx configs for larger images, and have added settings for an SMTP relay to the main config.hjson file. The spikes occured before these changes, which leads me to believe that they are caused by something I have not yet explored.
  • These issues occured on both 0.17.4 and 0.18.0, which seems to indicate it’s not a new issue stemming from a recent source code change.

@SapienSRC@lemmy.world avatar

I can throw in a vote for Debian stable as well. I’ve recently installed Debian 12 and I’ve been blown away by how great it’s been compared to my recent Fedora 38 experience out of box.

@katie@lemmy.tillicumnet.com avatar

What kind of hardware are you running it on? I’ve started using Debian for servers, but I’m still using Fedora for laptops, currently. I am always curious about different options.

SapienSRC ,
@SapienSRC@lemmy.world avatar

This is my daily driver tower.

  • i9 10850k
  • ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

I don’t use wifi however it did work out of the box. The only thing that required additional setup was the Nvidia card but the driver was available in the repos.

If you do end up testing it out on a laptop let me know how it goes. I have a Windows laptop lying around here somewhere that could use some love.

habaneroanalbeads , to gaming in Kingdom Hearts III killed my love for the saga

Honestly, KH3 and FF15 were major disappointments for me. Even tho Nomura stepped away from 15 and the story, I still blame Nomura for those dumpster fires.

The main point of disgust with KH3 was thinking I was halfway done with the story and ready for the 2nd visits of each of the game worlds, only to find we were at the fucking end???

Also that games’ 1k heartless battle with the that god awful heartless background with the ass framerate? At that point I had given up on the series.

Then, some time later, I like watching youtube while doing the dishes, so I gave the story to Union X and Dark Road a try, and hot damn did they just pull me back in.

Hamano OP ,

Meh, I didn’t really like the mobile games, but I might give the story of them a try.
