  • So I recently quitted Google Drive

    Congrats, great life choice

    downloaded all my data and hoping to keep it on Hard drives myself, They are external plug in types

    You have multiple external drives. Are they USB? How many?

    So when I plug it in

    Are they not usually plugged in? Is there a requirement to keep them air gapped between syncs?

    it copies/syncs the things on my computer, anyone knows somethign like that?

    Like others have said, a shell script that calls rsync is maybe the way to go and with some more information on number of drives, drive interface type, and air gap requirements it may change


  • So I used to used both Reddit and Lemmy and now I have completely switched over to Lemmy, which has turned out to be a much better experience anyway. (Less trolls, less intentionally divisive content, etc)

    Here’s what I did:

    1. Got a permanent ban from Reddit (easy to do, plenty of guides online)
    2. Started a lemmy community ([email protected])
    3. Engage with others on lemmy
    4. Post content to c/westchesterny and other communities I am interested in (typically NYC metro area communities)

    What it was for me is Lemmy has a lot of tech and political discussions, but I don’t really care about that so I started a community and contribute to communities that are regional to me because engaged hyper local and regional communities are a huge gap in the lemmy federation right now.



  • I operate SSH, nginx, and uvicorn like this:

    SSH

    • pubkey auth only
    • not on default port
    • AllowUsers var in sshd.conf is set

    nginx

    • runs as its own user
    • serves static files or forwards to uvicorn
    • rate limits are set
    • returns 444 on requests that aren’t in sitemap.xml (nonsense and probing)

    uvicorn

    • runs as its own user

    and a firewall runs on top of everything in a hardened kernel. I’m self taught, so I could be missing something obvious and this setup has been reliable for me for a few years.

    Yeah, I made a comment in the past about the Italian government using chemicals to mutilate people. I said that was cowardly, IMO government sanctioned violence should not hide its brutality, and that they ought to use a knife. That was first first ban.

    Then came these ones, now I’m on Lemmy : )
