Huh that’s interesting, thanks!

You could inject JS that waits for the JS to generate the form then manipulates its state.

I’ve had an R710 at the foot of my bed for the past 4 years and only decommissioned it a couple of months ago. I haven’t configured anything but I don’t really notice the noise. I can tell that it’s there but only when I listen for it. Different people are bothered by different sounds maybe?

Cloud is best for reliability, but a good option that sacrifices that reliability but keeps some security benefits is to put a reverse proxy on a VPS and connect just your servers by a VPN.

I have more experience with Restic so I’m more comfortable with it on servers, but the lock files don’t work properly on desktops that shutdown uncleanly.

If the host you’re connecting to is already in your known_hosts, a malicious network can’t do anything but break the connection. If it tries to mitm the ssh connection, you’ll get the alert that’s someone could be “doing something nasty”.

Information leakage: Anything between you and the ssh server will be able to see that you’re connecting to a ssh server and how much data you transfer, but not what the data actually is.

I use Restic for servers, Kopia for desktops. Restic tends to end up with problematic locks on systems that shutdown uncleanly sometimes.

I pay for my .dev, I’m concerned that .dev will now be abused for spam and will have its reputation destroyed, especially for sending emails.

I tend to make full images of the disk with dd then mount them with kpartx and mount. This results in terabytes of disk images but I use ZFS compression and have plenty of space. It preserves everything about every file since it saves the fs itself and any deleted files that could be recovered with photorec etc.

Prometheus+Grafana maybe?

I point my DNS at local IPs then use Let’s Encrypt with DNS validation.

The best resource imo for big home servers if you graduate using old PCs is the Homelab Discord server. They’re also at !homelab@lemmy.ml.

I run used disks with tens of thousands of power on hours. Yes the risk of each disk dying is higher but only marginally and the cost is dramatically lower. To avoid data loss when they die, I have functioning backups. This system is working really well for me.

Huh good to know, thanks!

Only ~400gb of it is absolutely critical at this point, but losing my 8.1tb of screen recordings would hurt. The screen recordings folder on its own grows on average 19gb per day. I prefer not to split it into smaller chunks because that increases maintenance workload in monitoring and keeping the backups working. My current backup strategy uses zfs send to copy incremental snapshots from the main host to the backup host, so maybe I could just get a secondary backup host and put it offsite?

What’s the best way to make an offsite backup for 42tb at this point with 20mbps of bandwidth? It would take over 6 months to upload while maxing out my connection.

Maybe I could sneakernet an initial backup then incrementally replicate?

If you have a secure password Vaultwarden’s encryption will keep you safe until it’s broken by faster computers in the future or whatever.

SSDs have a write lifespan. Once you write ~400TB or whatever it’s rated for on a consumer SSD it dies. HDDs can take a lot more writes before dying.

Have you looked at Porkbun?

Is ZFS snapshotting Immich’s data directory good enough? The file structure seems simple enough that I could recover all of the photos if Immich broke and deleted something it shouldn’t have.
