Mostly not being dependent from a specific vendor, that’s all.

I prefer to use a VPS of my choice that I can replace when I want or need to.

As far as its backed by wireguard its safe enough I guess.

Stop spreading FUD. Syncthing for Android is very well supported and, while the official client will not have updates, there are other clients that are actively developed.

Sorry third post. Trying to summarize.

1. Get external access. Either via port-forward (you lucky American) or via VPS+ssh-tunnel or VPS+wireguard. Stay away from an hard dependency like tailscale and cloudflare (my personal opinion).

2. Setup a reverse proxy with SSL certs via let’s Encrypt (don’t go wildcard, no need to, just add complexity)

That’s the concept, implementation requires clearly extra steps…

See my wiki (https://wiki.gardiol.org/). O describe both the simple and the complex solution. But to be honest, the complex solution is not fully described yet.

If you need also external access, because you are behind a CGNAT or in general have no public IP at all, get a VPS and setup some tunneling.

I don’t like tailscale/cloudflare dependency so I have a different solution.

I have documented it all here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/

Slap a good reverse proxy in front of it (nginx I what I use) and set it up with HTTPS using let’s Encrypt. For added layer of security setup also some SSO like Authelia.

Or just go the VPN way but then, that will not be access from internet, only via VPN, only you will be accessing it.

Thanks, good to know alternatives to Lemmy.world!

Nothing against .world, but variety and alternatives are the gist of lemmy.

Thanks for the podman restart suggestion!

healthchecks.io seems not free or at least, very not open?

Nice tool! Simple to setup and pretty lightweight. It seems it cannot restart services tough, not monitor them specifically…

First copy on offline USB disk on my server itself. Disk is turned on, backup done, disk goes off. Once a day.

Second copy on a USB drive connected to an OpenWRT router of my home, the furthest away from the server (in case of fire, I could be able to grab either of the two).

Third copy offsite on a VPS.

I use restic & backrest with great satisfaction.

Given your comment, I think you just got what you deserved. Come on.

Amazing, thanks, will try it out!

Thanks, will try reigns!

Slay the spire seems landscape only, no go for me (yeah I am picky).

Is it?

Nobody AFAIK. I would like to start something tough. Doesn’t need to share name or resources, just the feeling, the space theme, the PvP and specially coop pve approach…

Never found anything like that. What an idiot Dev.

Any names of rogue/-lites? I need them on Android as its the only platform I can reliably play today…

As for board games, we are into those too, or at least we where. But the love for ultra complicated board games by my wife took us to a blind spot where we are always too tired to start a game LOL…

I till love and we still play Ticket To Ride occasionally tough.

I also made at least one good friend on that game. We keep in touch years later.

Was amusing the idea to try recreate the original game as open source, with due differences like a true rich tech tree and less grind (no need to monetize an open source game after all), and most of all, self hostable server.

But RL is a bitch and free time is hard to come by these days, so.

Yeah the game was pretty addictive and I took the DN fiasco as a good reason to finally quit. I got to RS10. But seeing how rs10 was so much less fun in red stars was also a turn down as well.

I had friends playing rs10 regularly tough, so those where doable and kinda fun too it seems.

Rs9 where real fun tough… Specially done in private corps with three more able and willing partners.

White stars too, I really enjoyed them, maybe I was in a lucky corporation.

10 years? Boy you are joung :)

I have encrypted files from w 20 years ago, and unencrypted files from 30 years ago.

And digitized stuff from analogic of 40 and 50 years ago.

That is true for lots of things.

Moreover I use one easy “default” password for all basic stuff, and its always the same known to my spouse and written down on paper.

At least my offsite backups are protected from prying eyes. Maybe uneeded for local backups, but doesn’t hurt to have.

Why would you want password less backups?

I understand if the reason is ‘just because’, but seriously, why? I just write down the password in a text file for restic --password and I am done.
