I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist....

Is this new or has it actually existed for a long time? Stumbled upon it when I was typing this in a whatsapp conversation: “Should I call him?”, then this graphic popped up:...

Anybody know a guide or reading material on learning how to encrypt hard drives ?

For the first time ever, when i screenshotted it said “Wait! Don’t screenshot! this post looks better when you share it.” I’ve screenshotted plenty before and never seen this. Are they really that desperate for interaction?

Title is a bit vague because I don’t know the correct terms to phrase it properly....

With the collapse of hqcollect I’m not really sure where to get the kind of content one would find on manyvids, patreon, or onlyfans. This stuff seems to not really show up in indexers on Usenet (dog, geek, etc) or my preferred private tracker (ipt). I’ve even gone as far as digging into spotweb for this stuff. Am I just in...

Sometimes I hate it when I’m right… I saw that Twitter has replaced the blue bird with an “X”. On a lark, I typed in “x.com” into my web browser just to see…...

I’m in the process of divorcing google so YT is a HARD no for me. Google had demonetized my friend’s viral video (close to a decade ago) of his 5 1/4" floppy drives playing toccata & fugue in d minor over MIDI and it left a FOWL taste in my mouth. Most of my videos are 45-90 minutes in length. Night time videos are 2.5gb. My...

My father just died in his sleep. He had passed by the time the paramedics arrived....

Not your normal kind of piracy, I know, but thought some would be interested....

I am picky about the features I look for in a smartphone. Hopefully this post can be a good resource for myself and others who have similar preferences. For reference, I am using a Oneplus 7 Pro with a non-functional camera and flashlight....

Lemmy appears to be very similiar to Mastodon, with decentralised servers to prevent musky spezulence....

As the titles states was wondering I was wondering if anyone has a way to download audio off of VK. I usually am able to pull audio files from websites that stream audiobooks or embeeded audio with IDM. When that doesnt work I sometimes pull up the the developer tools in firefox and can pull an address for the audio files and...

Hey y’all! First time trying to self-host something, I started with a local Nextcloud instance for me and my family to use. I just wanted to make sure that no outsiders can enter the instance (access it or its files) through a browser on another connection....
