  • Most of the time the VPS provider offers some backup solution. It’s not only about your configuration files which can easily be recreated, but about all the user data like pictures databases, etc. Which once lost can’t be recovered.

    Best practice is a 3-2-1 backup: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

    But you could back up your stuff on your laptop if you want, it’s not such a bad idea actually. For that you trigger the backup script from your laptop, you can do it automatically there too. This makes sure that the laptop is on while you’re doing the backup.

    The easiest way is a crown job and a bash file which runs a couple of rsync commands to get specific files and directories from the server via ssh.

    A more involved way would be a backup system like restic, which does a lot of things for you but is a bit more involved to set up.









  • I don’t know what it is, I went to the repo on github to read the readme, I still have no idea what it is. There is not a single sentence which explains what this is.

    At the top it says it’s something for Lemmy, at least I know what Lemmy is, but most people don’t. So it might be a plugin, a theme, a frontend, an app, who knows.

    Later it mentions apk, so perhaps it’s a android app, for phone or some car or other embedded devices?
