Daily toward all my three locations:

  • local on the server
  • in-house but on a different device
  • offsite

But not all three destinations backup the same amount of data due to storage limitations.

1 backup on a local, Independence disk. 1 backup on a HDD connected to an OpenWRT router at the other end of the house 1 backup on my remote vps.

Restic+backrest

Sftp for remote endpoint

I use and love nginx.

Maybe a bit more old fashioned than more modern solutions, but steady solid and versatile. I use it as reverse proxy ad well as proxy for php stuff and more.

Laws serve the purpose of protecting ownership and owners, that defines what is lawful or not.

So, it is working as intended.

Legally speaking you lose the license to all the games because you don't own the games only a license to use those games.

And the game owners have only licensed the games to the gaming platform (steam, etc) with the license to re-license those to you. Ceasing to exist the middleman, also your end of the license is invalidated.

You would need to negotiate a license to use each game again with somebody else or you are effectively pirating the game.

This doesn't matter if there are DRM or no DRM. This not a technical aspect. Pirating means using without being legally allowed to, circumventing DRM or not is just the difference between breaking into your home or finding a non locked door to enter without damaging the house. Its still stealing.

Don't get mad, I do not condone DRM and I don't think piracy is stealing, it was just an example from a legal point of view

IANAL, but had to study the field for work related stuff.

Running a business works better if you have a steady flow of income. I don't blame them for trying.

But I vote with my wallet.

I stick to open source apps more and more, and not only for the lack of subscriptions.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 21 points 1 week ago

I stay away from any subscription like that. It works like credit cart debt: you pile it and in no time you bleed money like no tomorrow.

I understand the need of the Dev for a reasonably guaranteed flow of money, specially for online services, but also keep a software house going cost money.

But I am free to choose where not to put my money.

Its like running a marathon: you do it for the journey, not for the medal at the end.

(Disclaimer: you do it for the medal. But you would do it anyway, even if there is no medal, because its the journey that makes it worthwhile)

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 2 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. After living 10 years with a person like you, leaving her was the best of my life and I should have done that sooner.

I have to add more, to be honest with you.

The reasons why she was bad for me where deeper than just the rage issue alone. That was probably the lesser issue, so don't be afraid.

But I strongly suggest that you start a serious and sincere path with a good phycologist as that has the potential to help you control and understand the issue.

Yourself, and the people who care about you, will thank you for that.

Don't over think and go for it.

Working on testing stalwart... And will need to organize and document properly my various nft rules and routing tables, because its slightly getting out of hand...

Thanks for the fun read! You made my day.

And in a lifetime on linux I never noticed the Ctrl+y stuff.
