KDE neon on both laptop and desktop can be buggy. Discover does not open reliably, dolphin crashes randomly (in certain directories) and the display manager crashes and restarts sometimes. Idk why, super annoying and could not find a solution yet.
I feel like they improved that, I had a few of those runs at the beginning as well. Idk how long it has been since you touched it, but I suggest trying again :) and use the map to see other caves nearby
I disagree but like the discourse
I feel like there is a lot lore right wing propaganda or from Russia and China to destabilize the west. The reason I feel like is that the crazy rich people did not have moral or a back bone in the first place which is the reason why they accumulated the power and wealth in the first place to influence others. Like i said, watch the video of benn Jordan about that.
Also, you might feel or be resistant to propaganda, but I bet your and my parents or great parents are not and they still make the minority of voters
Number 1 argument for me is, your data can be used to manipulate you, postly politically. You might not be a big target because you use Lemmy and linux and a vpn or whatever but other people that are not interested in tech are
Even if its not political manipulation, maybe its optimizing ads so you buy more. Which then can be used to manipulate you politically as you lack the funds to stand up for your morals. And even if you personally do, because you might have a privileged background, others might not and for them its absolutely worth fighting for.
Benn Jordan has a great video about it
Haha i get that. I feel like proxmox backup server is really great together with proxmox though. And idk but I feel like there is not too much to do wrong? Correct me if you think differently, but we use a mirrored hdd zfs pool on pbs and pve, so we have 4 copies plus snapshots ob the backup server. So harddrive failure is not really a problem. And deleting or corrupting files or databases manually on accident can happen, but they can be revived sometimes or restored from last nights backup And yes, the backup server could die, but the drives should be fine still. And yes, it can burn down but then you have a mirrored drive on the home lab. I think its rather difficult to delete stuff on the bps on accident. I would just not delete anything manually. If its too full, either increase the pruning job for old snapshots or just put in a mother pair of drives.
Maybe I am cheap but its also fun I think. Also I feel like my data is actually mine now?
To throw in yet another opinion that does not help you right now: My friend has a backup server at his place and I have our home lab at my place.
Just a rough calculation: 2 8tb drives for a mirror is 150€ each (during a normal market, and when we bought it), so 300 combined. That is 60€per year if we assume they die quickly after 5years.
With a very light old desktop pc that is power efficient we can reach 25w
That is: 25w/1000 (for kW) * 24h * 365d * 0.35€/kW = 78€ per year of energy.
That is combined 138€/year.
The hetzner storage box is 24€/Month @ 10tb
So that is 288€/year.
So I would argue that its even cheaper to pay a friend to put a small old pc at their place and paying them 40ct /kwh is still cheaper than the clouds? Assuming you can find hdds at a reasonable price. But I could find cheap used offers with a runtime of 3y for 100€.
If you only need 1tb, its not worth it to run your own storage, as the power stays roughly the same:
Hetzner: 3,8€/1tb * 12m = 46.6€ So allone the power of running the backup server is not worth it financially.
For the 5tb plan: 12€*12m=144€ so that is the break even point I assume, as drives don’t scale too mich with price?
So my setup rigjt now:
My long term goal is to move to pangolin as a reverse proxy on the vps and tailscale alternative and remove tailscale, as i find its very battery inefficient on Android (no subnet Router etc).
So i just give people access to the VPN and send them an authentik invite and thats it. With pangolin i dont even have to give them a VPN access anymore, it can be done via authentik i think.
A vps is 3-6€ and the tailscale standard is 10€ so its even cheaper, but a bit more setup to maintain. But it allows a ton of users :) so i guess this would be the smallest change with the highest impact
Authentik is nice to have but a pain to set up as the oicd stuff can be tricky. Immich was super ez, nextcloud was OK, docspell was a pain and ocis does not work with authentik becsuse they use different architectures for sso. (Ocis and authentik are a bit dumb here)
