You can already do it. I have Signal create daily backups, sync it to my NAS using Syncthing with versioning enabled.

Reminds me of the movie Udaan. A great great film.

I'm usually visiting my parents during new year, so I just text a few friends. We usually meet up later in the day, though.

This is the only reason why I still use GUI for making Linux USBs. Can't trust my ADHD ass to write the correct drive name. Also, none of my USB drives have a light.

Popsicle is pretty nice, it doesn't let you choose the internal drives afaik.

How do you manage mega torrents? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] SexualPolytope 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes, it just does what cp does. Only difference is that it makes hardlinks instead of copies. Unless you're using a COW filesystem, this might be better for most situations.

[–] SexualPolytope 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I usually just let the files be where they are and cp -l to a directory where I can manage them however I want. This creates hardlinks, so you don't use up any extra space.

It does depend on gender, but also on race. Even many of the medical procedures are inherently racist, since they were developed mostly with white men in mind. Especially anything that calls for visual checks can be very biased.

Where can I submit a large list of spam emails? (self.privacy)

I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Here's the list.

Need suggestions for VPS (self.selfhosted)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by SexualPolytope to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.

Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers? (self.selfhosted)
 

I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.

Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.

My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.

I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.
