I’m not backing up any databases that are so intensively used that I can’t live-copy them. Most of my databases (SQLite) sit idle until I explicitly do something to them. SQLite doesn’t really care about it unless it’s actively writing to the database.

There’s a balance to pick between ease of use, ease of recovery, and security. You have to define exactly what you want, and then look at what solutions are available to do that.

I wrote my own bash script for rsync that simply pulls copies of the vital folders and files over SSH from the machines I want backups from. Then it pushes a copy of all of that to an offsite (in-city friends house) location. There is no encryption at rest, because I choose easy of recovery over security. I also trust my friend, and there really isn’t anything that would compromise me totally, if that harddrive became available on the internet. There also aren’t multiple versions of old files, and if a file is deleted, then it is gone, because I don’t need that feature from my backup system.

Define your needs, then shop around. No one solution does everything easily.

I have 750 bots stuck in HTTP tarpits right now, and another 13 stuck in an SSH tarpit.

You can fight back! If we all fight back just a little bit, then mass-scanning and scraping becomes too expensive to do.

Content ID is a major part of how copyright currently works.

It’s literally not a part of how Copyright currently works. It’s how Google automated copyright claims on their platforms.

None of my creative works are in Content ID. People are not being sued through Content ID. Content ID flags stuff and at worst removes it. It is up to the copyright holder to decide what they want to do.

No it doesn’t. It would work like Copyright currently works.

I don’t need my works to be in any database for them to be protected by copyright. I simply have to declare their license or have the license be assumed by not declaring it. That’s how it already works. You, the owner of the copyrighted works, has to sue the infringer. It’s not an automated process. Your ‘likeness’ doesn’t need to be in any database if you can prove they used your likeness. Content ID was an attempt by Google to automate the removal process on their platforms so they could wash their hands of the problem.

Is Google your government?

Do you also think all of your creative works are in a government database somewhere?

I’m going to post it again.

For anyone else looking for a reason to stay away from plebbit- uh, look at their X account https://x.com/getplebbit It’s 4chan crypto hashwash

the problem with federated social media is that each federated instance is just a regular centralized sites. They can censor each other,

Also, this is a feature. This is intentional.

Any of those can host a relay, the question is what you expect the throughput to be. I don’t expect the Zero W to survive 5 sustained Mbps, but the 4B and the ThinkPad should easily eat 20 sustained Mbps.

I am hosting a high speed relay right now, and have been for 4+ years, on my home address. I am not getting attacked beyond the usual drivebys that I’d get hit with regardless because I host other outward-facing things.

You do look suspicious to large social media sites, but besides those: I’ve never been blocked from somewhere due to my relay.

It was a parked car, there was no one in or around it.

I think life is easier if you stop managing metadata and instead deal in folder structure. My music has never had consistent metadata and tagging, yet it’s never been a problem. I use Gonic and just browse my music by folder structure.

That’s awesome; I knew I’d seen it around!

I wonder if Denmark ditching Microsoft is directly related to Schleswig-Holstein doing it. Specially given they’re neighbours.

It’s not, but our direct neighbors announcing it first surely helped the people lobbying to get it considered. It’s also not the entire Government, just a small portion of it. Some municipalities have already been using Linux on user-facing computers like in libraries and I’m sure on the inside, as well.

The discussion is up because of the current American administration, and would continue to be up regardless of if Schleswig-Holstein or anyone else announcing their intentions to do the same.

what is that little pixel cat at the top? It also appears on https://katia.ripe.net/ is it referencing something?

It says (updated) but what is the update?

You have a strangely visceral reaction to seeing a hashtag, man. I can’t solve that for you.
For the record, you can block entire instances from your user account.
Basically every tool you’ve asked for so far has been available for at least a year now.
