"I have a very particular set of skills..."

xia ,

TrueNAS scale helps a lot, as it makes many popular apps just a few clicks away. Or for more power-users, stuff like the linux cockpit also really helps.

To directly answer your questions...

  • In the event of DB corruption (which hasn't happened to me yet) I would probably rollback that app to the previous snapshot. I suspect that TrueNAS having ZFS as an underlayment may help in this regard, as it actually detects bitrot and bitflips, which may be the underlying cause of such corruption.
  • In the case where a device breaks... if it's a hard drive that broke, I just pop in a new one and add it to the degraded mirror set. If it's "something else" that broke, my plan is to pop one of the mirror shards into a spare PoS computer (as truenas scale runs on common x86 hardware) and deal with the ugly-factor until I repair or replace the bigger issue.
  • The only way to defend against a cloud provider is replication, so plan accordingly if that is a concern.
  • If by "sync'd confidentially" you mean encrypted in transit, I'm pretty sure that TrueNAS has built in replication over SSH. If you meant TNO, then you probably want to build your setup over a cryfs filesystem so no cleartext bits hit the cloud, although on second thought... it's not really meant for multi-master synchronization... my case just happens to fit it (only one device writes)... so there is probably a better choice for this.
  • Setup is a hassle? Yes... just be sure that you invest that hassle into something permanent, if not something like a TrueNAS configuration (where the config gets carried along for the ride with the data) then maybe something like ansible scripts (which is machine-readable documentation). Depending on your organization skills, even hand-written notes or making your own "meta" software packages (with only dependencies & install scripts) might work. What you don't want to do is manually tweak a linux install, and then forget what is "special" about that server or what is relying on it.
  • How safe is my setup? Depends... I still need to start rotating a mirror shard as an offsite backup, so not very robust against a site disaster; Security-wise... I've got a lot of private bits, and it works for my needs... as far as I know :)
  • Still enthusiastic? I try to see everything as both temporary and a work-in-progress. This can be good in ways because nothing has to be perfect, but can be bad in ways that my setup at any given time is an ugly amalgamation of different experimental ideas that may or may not survive the next "iteration". For example, I still have centos 7 & python 2 stuff that needs to be migrated or obsoleted.

Doctor: You must be allergic, what did you eat?

Me: It's proprietary.

Ace of spades, baby! Oh, wait...

That took me a minute...

Can we get a lemmy community for whatever this is? I want to subscribe!

I'm convinced that Linux' mere presence has already stymied the development of the worst possible technocractic nightmare. I shudder to think of the thick tech-chains that would bind us if there was not an anchor/reference point... or if there was not even the small contingent that knows what it is like to use a liberating platform.

When you stare into the AI, the AI stares back at you.

Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.

xia , (edited )

True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion... even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one's digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.

It's just Diablo... the new fully-immersive experience.

Would if i could, o darling pixels of mine...

xia OP ,

I thought systemd read fstab to dynamically create the mount units? First i've heard of someone bespoke mount units... but sounds neat!

xia ,

Limp at his side.

xia ,

Libertarian driver's ed?

xia ,

The same object lesson could apply to technofascism, data-silos, police seizures, ...

xia ,

Yeah! Just like water's "wetness" problem. It's kinda fundamental to how the tech operates.

xia ,

It's all coming together...

xia ,

At this rate we'll soon need a BS in nerdology to get these in-jokes... i love it.

xia OP ,

If it's any indication... the last time I ordered checks their website was littered with nuisance upsell popups that significantly hindered that task (felt kinda like Indiana Jones navigating booby traps), so I think the "check industry" (if that is a thing?) is getting desperate.

xia OP ,

The fewer places print checks, the more each one is busy. Also probably still very common for businesses.

xia ,

One can hope...

The texture is intriguing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw7PUrgU3N0

Just wait till all the browser tabs sit down, and need to swap to the floor.

I think it'd say something about no Makefile present.

Oddly specific...

xia ,

This seems to be a pattern. Govts flex over tech companies, techs blackout a country instead of complying, repeat.

xia ,

You might be obligated to call it a "hell-hound", though...

xia ,

Same!

xia OP ,

It's not really a joke, per se. Just feeling a bit nostalgic... recalling ancient linux-on-a-floppy distros on old hardware, juxtaposed to the huge linux distros I use now on faster hardware, etc.

xia OP ,

In hindsight, that may have been a better post title.

xia ,

Doesn't even mention the narrative that humans (the child listeners) are harmful to the earth, part of the pollution problem, should have fewer humans, etc.

xia ,

I'm surprised how well this works. Well, erm... visually, anyway.

xia ,

Kinda makes one not want to become dependant on google products.

xia ,

Sometimes i just cant understand why a post gets downvotes... maybe some hate anime?

I avoid those stations i know have ads, and if surprised... i'm happy to know of the hidden mute button.

"Digital sovereignty": German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein ditches Microsoft for Linux and Open Source alternatives (blog.documentfoundation.org)

Schleswig-Holstein, the northern German federal state, will be a digital pioneer region and the first German state to introduce a digitally sovereign IT workplace in its state administration. With a cabinet decision to introduce the open-source software LibreOffice as the standard office solution across the board, the government...

xia ,

How can Germany be so cool and scary at the same time?

xia ,

Is this a unicorn? :)

xia OP ,

It certainly could. I've attached the original image I got from Dall-E (hopefully it comes through at full resolution: 1024 squared). As you can see, I have rotated it and added the text. It looks to me like it many aspect rations could work (maybe with different rotations though). Enjoy!

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Google/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Chrome plus Linux.

xia ,

Maybe it's cause there is no banana for scale, but that egg looks huge... like an ostrich egg.

xia ,

I can feel this image, and it hurts.
