33·1 year agoI don’t bother.
A fire (or flood or theft or…?) threat might take out both of my local copies. To offset that risk, I put a lot of effort into making sure the offsite copy is always functional, up-to-date, and healthy (S.M.A.R.T and otherwise).
I’ve been considering keeping a fourth copy of extra extremely crucial data encrypted on Backblaze B2, but honestly…if I lose my whole 3-2-1 stack, it’s probably time to go live as a goat.

I am so unbelievably fed up with Ui changes for no reason.
3·2 years agoI have had quite a battle with/trying to avoid Remarkable’s cloud service with both my RM1 and RM2. It is very deeply linked, and their privacy policy isn’t the best.
This might not be applicable if you’re only going to use it as an ereader, but I want to keep sensitive documents on mine and it has not been easy. I currently use this script, but it’s a clunky experience.
Unbelievably good piece of hardware though!
I have a current gen Outback, and I have all the issues!
Admittedly, it very reliably goes down the road when I’m towing it with my truck.
I think a Niche Zero and a Profitec GO would be an outstanding bang-for-buck combo!
5·3 years ago100% do this.

I fought this battle at every price point and the nanobeams are absolutely the way to go. Extremely easy and reliable.
I wish I’d started with them!
9·3 years agoI feel like enabling FIDO2 2FA on mobile apps would be a much better use of resources at the moment.
1·3 years agoI don’t see a way to sign up without email, and the vote for it on the Agora still looks like it’s in progress. I’ve searched @TheDude@sh.itjust.works and @SavvyWolf@sh.itjust.works’s posts/comments for anything about this, and haven’t found it…
…did it pass? Did I miss something?
I had a new one this morning!
- Dog bumps into server cabinet, pushing it against the wall, kinking the fiber optic cable that the DNS server uses.
It was a combination of factors, really:
- Not often, but often enough…I had some significant problems with version upgrades and would end up having to configure the whole system again from scratch;
- My hardware was getting pretty old. While pricing out an upgrade for it, I was surprised to find a more capable Synology for less (DS1821+);
- Remote backups. I have had a bazillion different solutions for off-site backups, and none of them have stood the test of time. The last one before Synology was a separate machine running Duplicati, pulling data from TrueNAS, and sending it off to an ODROID-HC2 running Minio. It worked sometimes. Hyper Backup on Synology is an entirely different world of ease and reliability–it has been flawless.
- I kind of got tired of TrueNAS as a hobby. I ran into and waited for resolution on bugs, had a bunch of customizations done from the command line that I’d forget about before the next time a version upgrade wouldn’t work and I’d have to start over, and just in general had to keep up my knowledge managing the thing (cruising the forum and subreddit). Synology isn’t as flexible, but I never have to deal with it…and that has been pretty nice.
Dude I’ve gone full circle on this one, and I currently am on the Synology train and life is easy.
It feels like I’ve had a bit of everything at some point. Clarkconnect, Windows Home Server, straight Ubuntu, Unraid, FreeNAS, some garbage on my router…
… Synology stuff is super well designed, easy to use, and widely supported. I spent some time chasing privacy options, but other than that it has been zero hassle and high reliability.
2·3 years agoHa! I thought that’s what it was.
17·3 years agoAnother vote here for Garmin. A few years ago, I sat down and read the major brands’ privacy policies cover to cover, and Garmin’s was the most reasonable. It was the right compromise for me between privacy and utility…but I do feel like I should have another privacy policy reading party sometime soon and make sure the equation hasn’t changed.
If you haven’t checked out Tailscale, you should!
1·3 years agoAh, sorry! I think you’re right about it being a propagation thing.
I think your link is wrong (that’s the one that causes Archive.org to try a new capture). I got it working with this:
