@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh boi! 😆 Gotta take a screenshot of this in case Microsoft demand the article be taken down 🤣

@dfaria Also, I don’t really care whether you continue to use my pod or not frankly.

One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/

negative comments like this are completely unconstructive and have no basis in merit. If you have issues with the way I administer my pod, speak up, provide alternatives. If you have good technical suggestions for Twtxt/Yarn, we’re all ears. We are only trying (or attempt to try) to make things better for all, which as you can appreciate is a hard thing to do.

Next time, please leave your constructive criticisms at home. No-one forces you to use my pod (for free).

Oh never mind! 🤦‍♂️ That’s your other feed that you syndicate some stuff to? 🤔 Research?

@dfaria And btw, even if I block a feed or whole domain, it doesn’t stop you from following. it just removes it from the “Discover” view.

@bender +1

@dfaria And here I thought you never or we’re not capable (client?) of interacting with other users? 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Same 😢

@eapl.me@eapl.me We went out for nice breakfast and put the camper trailer away 😅

@mckinley Yeah pretry by hand at the moment.I only backup what I cannot reproduce.

@prologic@twtxt.net How do you manage multiple remotes? Do you just run restic backup for each one?

@mckinley I use Restic and backup to another machine on my network as well as Backblaze B2

I wish there was a good GUI for Restic so I could have non-technical people using the same thing I do.

QOTD: How do you back up your files?

I asked this one almost a year ago and I started using Restic shortly after that. When I started, I was only backing up my home folder to the repository over NFS. Now, I’m backing up the entire root filesystem to a repository using the REST backend so I can run Restic as root without breaking the permissions.

I’m working on automating it now and I’m trying to come up with something using pinentry but my proof-of-concept is getting pretty obtuse. It will be spread out in a shell script, of course, but still.

systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch restic --password-command='su -c "printf '"'"'GETPIN\n\'"'"' | WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 pinentry-qt5 | grep ^D | sed '"'"'s/^D //'"'"'" mckinley' --repository-file /root/restic-repo backup --exclude-file /root/restic-excludes --exclude-caches --one-file-system /

I’m curious to see how everyone’s backup solutions have changed since last year.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahaha! Accurate, 100%. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pfff, your code is “break-proof”! All looking good, so far. 😊

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’ve never had a use for Syncthing but I hope I get one at some point so I can see how it works. Do three-way merges work on Keepass database files?

I have been up, and ready to go for hours. Partner is still in bed. She takes such a long time to wake up on weekends! Past noon already, and we need to get food for the elders, and come back to tidy up things to get ready for the next weekly cycle.

Ugh! Where did the weekend go?!

@dfaria well, your “original twtxt” is an example of anything, but social. It is more like an echo chamber. If I am going to follow someone, I seek interaction. Language isn’t a barrier, lack of engagement is.

@prologic@twtxt.net Your position doesn’t make any sense: it’s closing down and arbitrarily limiting the use of the Twtxt protocol. One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Good points 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This ☝️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@mckinley Do you have an alternate proposal? What we want to avoid really (if possible) is the idea of “1-ay posting” or “posting to the void”. As an obvious example, the idea of syncing your Mastoon toots to Twtxt twts that you never see replies to is well umm just silly 🤣 and thus creates unwanted noise as it’s just like talking to a “brick wall” 😥

@rrraksamam You must live in the southern hemisphere? 🤔 It doesn’t ever snow here in Brisbane 🤣

I use KeePassXC because I really only use one device. I imagine it would be challenging to rsync the database around if I needed my passwords on more machines. It’s probably fine if you’re deliberate enough, but I don’t think it would take long before I’d lose a password by editing an outdated version of the repository and overwriting the main copy.

I like the simple architecture of Pass, and it would indeed lend itself well to a Git repository, but I don’t like that service names are visible on the filesystem. pass-tomb might mitigate this somewhat but it seems messy and I don’t know if it would work with Git without compromising the security of the tomb.

What’s so good about Bitwarden? Everyone seems to love it. I like that it can be self-hosted. I certainly wouldn’t want a third party in control of my password database.
