I'm planning on setting up a nas/home server (primarily storage with some jellyfin and nextcloud and such mixed in) and since it is primarily for data storage I'd like to follow the data preservation rules of 3-2-1 backups. 3 copies on 2 mediums with 1 offsite - well actually I'm more trying to go for a 2-1 with 2 copies and one offsite, but that's besides the point. Now I'm wondering how to do the offsite backup properly.

My main goal would be to have an automatic system that does full system backups at a reasonable rate (I assume daily would be a bit much considering it's gonna be a few TB worth of HDDs which aren't exactly fast, but maybe weekly?) and then have 2-3 of those backups offsite at once as a sort of version control, if possible.

This has two components, the local upload system and the offsite storage provider. First the local system:

What is good software to encrypt the data before/while it's uploaded?

While I'd preferably upload the data to a provider I trust, accidents happen, and since they don't need to access the data, I'd prefer them not being able to, maliciously or not, so what is a good way to encrypt the data before it leaves my system?

What is a good way to upload the data?

After it has been encrypted, it needs to be sent. Is there any good software that can upload backups automatically on regular intervals? Maybe something that also handles the encryption part on the way?

Then there's the offsite storage provider. Personally I'd appreciate as many suggestions as possible, as there is of course no one size fits all, so if you've got good experiences with any, please do send their names. I'm basically just looking for network attached drives. I send my data to them, I leave it there and trust it stays there, and in case too many drives in my system fail for RAID-Z to handle, so 2, I'd like to be able to get the data off there after I've replaced my drives. That's all I really need from them.

For reference, this is gonna be my first NAS/Server/Anything of this sort. I realize it's mostly a regular computer and am familiar enough with Linux, so I can handle that basic stuff, but for the things you wouldn't do with a normal computer I am quite unfamiliar, so if any questions here seem dumb, I apologize. Thank you in advance for any information!

Meiner Erfahrung nach machen die eher Probleme mit Wayland. X11 funktioniert super mit meiner Nvidia GPU, Wayland eher weniger.

In terms of 40K recipes, corpse starch is pretty easy. De-bone a (generally human, but others can work in a pinch) corpse, grind up the rest, add salt, and pack it in a can.

 

AltA tumblr post by valeofftherails saying "Reblog if this would work on you" with an attached screenshot of three text messages that have been sent to the person taking the screenshot. They say "Sup u look mentally ill", "I think i want to take care of u", and "I have a cat btw".

 

AltThe image contains three panels, all screenshots of what appears to be a talk show, containing subtitles. The host asks "Do you think Margaret Thatcher had girl power"?. The guest responds "Yes, of course.". The host follows up with "Do you think she effectively utilized girl power by funneling money into illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?".

 

AltA thumbnail of a YouTube video showing an old white man in a suit next to the words "The left wants to take away your penis". Below it is a cropped 4chan post with a sad anime girl on the left side. The right side simply says "please".

 

AltA post by cureltyserpent containing an excerpt from a book. The excerpt reads "Magnetic Dog Sisters were on the door that night, and I didn't relish trying to get out past them if things didn't work out. They were two meters tall and thin as greyhounds. One was black and the other white, but aside from that they were as nearly identical as cosmetic surgery could make them. They'd been lovers for years and were bad news in a tussle. I was never quite sure which one had originally been male.". The poster comments "Can't beleive [sic] the first characters described in classic cyberpunk fiction are lesbian (one trans) puppygirls with a sister kink".

In a literal translation it would be, but considering it's not a big bang, but the big bang, it'd be "Urknall" which I'm not sure how best to literally translate to English, but it's something along the lines of "bang of origin" or "original bang".

That doesn't make the tweet any less wrong though, this is just semantics.

 

(How do you do those little boxes that you can open for alt text?) Alt Text: A post by @leonard_ritter, showing an image of a roughly humanoid figure with a lot of red dots near the arms and legs, with another image presumably from a video game in which a female looking humanoid is shown, wearing armor that covers arms and legs, but only a bikini-like area near the torso region. The post says "our dwarven engineers came up with a new armor design protecting against the typical injuries sustained by warriors returning from battles in the netherworld".

Proton is based on Wine, when people say Wine in a gaming context, there's a decent chance they just mean Proton. Also there's absolutely no need for gaming distros in this situation, gaming works out of the box on any (semi-normal) distro, the most you'll have to do is flick a switch in Steam.

Edit: Or in this case with the Sims install Lutris I guess, since it's an EA game, but that also isn't much more difficult

I'd encourage use of StreetComplete, you can walk around your local area and get lots of points to survey with data on street widths or businesses' opening times. Imagine if all the people who were busy with Pokemon Go used that, OpenStreetMap would be nigh perfect in terms of data.

 
 

Image alt text: An image of Steam's top 10 best-selling games at the time of posting, three of which are marked as "prepurchase"

I checked the Steam stats and noticed that in the top 10 best selling games by revenue, there's three games that aren't even out yet. If we ignore the Steam Deck and f2p games, it's three out of four games. They have also been in the top 100 for 4, 6, and 8 weeks respectively, so people just keep on buying them. I would love to know why people keep doing this, as the idea of pre-ordering is that there is a physical copy of a game available for you on release, but this is not a concern with digital items. So after so many games lately being utterly broken on release, why do people not wait until launch reviews to buy the game? If you touch a hot stove and get burned multiple times, when does one learn?

If you read the actual article, there are two things that stand out:

The changes apply to employees at non-union locations.

and

Other benefits for non-union workers include an additional week of vacation after 30 years of employment and vacation for new employees during their first year.

So from my understanding you may very well be correct, instead of trying to block unions through negative reinforcement, they try to block them by rewarding you for not joining one.

That's a simple enough message to even get it from Warhammer 40k - Gender? Skin colour? Disabilities? Doesn't matter, pick up a Lasrifle and start shooting xenos

In my experience not just sometimes, but rather commonly. It often feels like the native Linux version, if it is even available, gets far fewer bug fixes - not like I can blame them, considering the far lower amount of Linux players, but sometimes I wonder why they even bother with it in the first place if they don't want to bother with focusing on it, with how good Proton is.

Note that it doesn't mean metadata is encrypted. They may not know what you sent, but they may very well know you message your mum twice a day and who your close friends are that you message often, that kinda stuff. There's a good bit you can do with metadata about messages combined with the data they gather through other services.

The question is, what are you doing to make a difference there? Are you going out and protesting, are you actively seeking out local politicians?

You're obviously passionate about the innocent people being hurt and killed, so I bet you are, but you could keep doing that while voting for the "lesser evil". You could have cast your vote for Harris and then on the same day gotten right back to protesting against her policy on the war.

You have two parties that are bad, but one is obviously worse. Why not try to avoid the worst option, so your personal efforts are more effective?

It's like trying to run a marathon and by abstaining to vote you get both your legs cut off instead of only one, because you fundamentally disagree with people getting their legs cut off. That's a totally sensible stance, but getting to keep a leg still makes it easier to keep running and there is no secret third option where you get to keep both.

Hey, there are far worse options than Rin for doing so ;3

I bet Nintendo has a lot of patent violations to choose from. They have a patent on such bangers as, rephrased from legal speech to human speech: "An air mount automatically turning into a ground mount upon landing" Source

According to Nintendo, if I understand this correctly, they have the sole legal right to make a bird mount that can also sprint on the ground if needed, because that sure was a special idea.
