I have found the docs the best place to start with anything, but have found that some don’t know how to write good documentation.

Also man pages and the tools own help -? Or -h

If you run something that has pants docs, you could always see if there is a way to help update it

Man can be searched as well, if you use less or grep a lot the same keys work.

Use / to search

FYI

Use / to search the man page, it’s basically less. Been doing that for years, as some man pages are the length of the great wall of China.

get the gen3

I would recommend Shelly plugs, they have been rock solid

I use NFS for docker nodes, works a treat and rock solid.

That very much depends on your backup of choice, that’s also the point. How do you recover your backup?

Start with a manual recover a backup and unpack it, check import files open. Write down all the steps you did, how do you automate them.

Untill you test a backup it’s not complete, how you test it is up to you.

If you upload to a remote location, pull it down and unpack it. Check that you can open import files, if you can’t open it then the backup is not worth the dick space

There’s some really good options in this thread, just remember that whatever you pick. Unless you test your backups, they are as good as not existing.

I have been using https://newreleases.io/ to keep track of updates, it will send you messages when things get an update. you can change how often

Look for the new if, then if on turn on light. Else turn the light off.

welp, I use Vivaldi without any user-agent switching and it works fine

I migrated from KeePass2 as the the DB would get out of sync and need to be merged back together. Thats why I moved to Vaultwarden, I like having my data on my own stuff

I second Vaultwarden, have been running it for a few years and even had a catastrophic host failure that I recovered from. was able to use the clients on both phone and laptop while building new host

There is a backup image you can run to take backups of the SQLite DB, used that a few times as the DB got tangled.

Also anything you host should have a good 3-2-1 backup strategy

if it helps, I run Lemmy and dont stop the database at all.

I mount a back directory to the container and then run the bellow to do the backup.

dockerID=$(docker ps | grep lemmy_postgres | awk '{print $1}')
docker exec ${dockerID} /usr/local/bin/pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy | gzip > /mnt/backups/lemmy/lemmy_dump_`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`.sql.gz

replace the lemmy_postgres with your funkwhale name.

If you have a Google workspace, use that for IDP.

Sage might have a connector for that, then when looking for anything to run or saas. Check if they have any IDP connectors, openID or SAML.

Also, why not start scanning all your stuff into your Google workspace, make shared drives for teams/groups of users.

The morale of the store is, read the release notes to see what’s changing.

I don’t blinly update everything, but I do try to be on the more up to date end of things.

Case in point is nextcloud, that’s now on 31.0.0. I don’t ever jump to the latest untill the first point release is out, as nextcloud 31.0.1 is now out Wednesday night is nextcloud update time
