Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is an audio format, data is compressed with no loss of information or quality.

FLAC is a format option for archiving audio collections such as CDs.

Ripping a CD to FLAC allows an exact copy of an audio CD to be created if the original is lost or damaged.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

As the saying goes, "Real BOFH use tar and rsync!"

The blog article is an excellent treatment of using tar along with SSH to effect a reliable backup plan and schedule.

Another couple of great fav GoTo solutions of mine have always been Duplicity and Duply for those not comfortable rolling their own scripts w/SSH, tar, and/or rsync ​:batman:​

Thank you very much for sharing this @nixCraft !!!

I deleted enough images that I was able to create and download an archive. Woot. Worked at 180 MB on my instance.

My Masto account is now backed up!

Well, I've deleted a lot of my media storage. Mostly anything extraneous from the beginning of this year. I am attempting to get another archive, but I'm guessing it won't work because my media storage is 180 MB. It does not work, I will be deleting my images up until April and try again. I've been particularly ruthless with my live photos which become GIFs on this site and take up a lot of storage.

if you want to delete media without search.

  1. Tap media tab on your profile.
  2. Scroll through media thumbnails and click image.
  3. At bottom of displayed image find and tap an icon that looks like an expand button. In the tangerine skin, it looks like a box with an arrow to the upper right.
  4. Edit the post with the media, then delete it or whatev. OR...
  5. If media isn't shown, it may be further down in an associated thread. Scroll until you find it.

Happy time deleting images and video that prevent you from downloading an ActivityPub archive. Beats using has:media search term!

Have you done your backups recently?

Considering to change my #backup solution from #duplicity to #restic (Not sure yet, I like having #pgp keys for encryption, but it's not like a long password stored in #PasswordStore wouldn't cut it). Since restic supports Windows I might try moving a couple relatives onto it; Makes helping them easier if I know the software. For them however, a #GUI is likely a MUST, but what I've found so far is not too encouraging: restatic (dead), npbackup ("metrics" and other assorted niggles), resticguigx (Electron), backrest (browser-based, which makes my skin crawl for security tooling)... Does anyone know other options I missed? Or has some compelling arguments for those I mentioned?

It's nice when you write a #SQL #backup script and monitoring and inventory comes out of it. Also, nice when it works when you deploy it.

Now to build the monitor to monitor the monitor so we can alert when the monitor doesn't monitor the monitor... The rabbit hole of monitoring.

The 3-2-1 rule is a data backup strategy.

3 copies of the data.
2 different types of storage media.
1 copy located offsite.

Consider protecting each backup with encryption.
Consider "Harvest now, decrypt later" when selecting a storage location.

https://octospacc.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-19.pngPrima che scatti non solo un nuovo giorno ma addirittura il nuovo mese (!), mi sbrigo a scrivere prima che sia troppo tardi per postare il (sarebbe una tragedia)… momento 🅱️uona quindi.Quindi, ora che ho la vostra attenzione: un po’ curioso che avvenga in questa giornata, ma mi era venuta una mezza voglia di far risorgere il sito della , che per cause di forze maggiori ormai era bello che stagnante. No, in realtà c’è un motivo… collegato alla mia nuovissima micro-fissazione di usare anche per i giochi su mobile, quando possibile, per tutto quel discorso di non sputtanarmi il telefono pure stavolta. In sostanza:

  • Sarebbe buona cosa impostare sulle pagine del sito, oltre ai manifest (relativi sia a tutto il , che a singoli ospitati) che è un attimo implementare, anche il classico Service Worker di cache offline (ora che li ho compresi benissimo), così da rendere tutta l’operazione una roba ancora più godibile su . Possono essere anche fatti piccoli aggiustamenti, del tipo di: il gioco si apre già a tutto schermo quando installato come PWA (invece di far vedere tutte le cose solite della pagina web). 🤖️

  • Giravo un po’ su Appsco.pe per valutare giochini a casaccio, e mi sono accorta che si e no 1/5 di quelli che ho provato ad aprire erano link morti… ecco, per quanto il moderno come piattaforma di esecuzione software sia meraviglioso soprattutto per gli utenti, come di distribuzione è veramente fragilissima e, al contrario del classico giochino Windows o Android (o anche Flash…), che (di norma) sai che se ti scarichi il file ce l’hai per sempre, con gli applicativi è un attimo e questi possono sparire nel vuoto (la mia cache offline sul mio singolo telefonino relegata a soltanto il mio ovviamente non conta come ). Per qualche motivo (abitudine…) sono finita a caricare solo ROM di vecchie console sul sitarello, anche se il mio intento sarebbe stato quello di mettere potenzialmente qualsiasi cosa, inclusi i in HTML5; tutto quello che ho messo finora si trova già in millemila romset strapreservati e ben organizzati, quindi con quelli il valore del mio lavoro è giusto il fornirli su una galleria “senza attrito”, ma nulla di estremamente utile, mentre invece con questi altri… 😤️

Vabbé, secondo voi riprenderò in mano la Sala Museo o ricadrà tutto nell'oblio? (Sondaggio anonimo, aprite il link originale al post per votare se leggete da altrove plz)- Riprenderò da ora ma lasciando un buco di quei 2 mesi inattivi

  • Riprenderò recuperando anche i 2 mesi di giochi arretrati
  • L'oblio.

It is the "world #backup day", at least according to WorldBackupDay.com. I like the idea of having such a day, to serve as another nudge and a reminder to make and check backups, though WorldBackupDay.com is awkward, does not mention rsync in its software section. The "com" TLD looks suspicious, too, but it is better than nothing (except for potential private data leaks with online backup services).

I use primarily encrypted external HDDs (#ZFS or #LUKS with #ext4) and #rsync for personal backups, including rsync with "--dry-run --checksum" for scrubbing and checking before synchronization; quite happy that such tools are available, even though they are usually taken for granted, as are many other neat FLOSS tools we use regularly. Planning to add a USB stick to the list of storage devices, since it should be less fragile mechanically (even though less reliable otherwise).

This looks too good not to experiment with. You have interactive modes, can query for files and their restoration -- only thing that's missing for me a.t.m. is changing my Mac's APFS volume to ZFS 😞

Tried searching and reading docs, but not getting the simple answer I want. When I do a borgbackup in my @nextcloud AIO, does that include a database dump as well, or just the files? #nextcloud #selfhosted #backup

Today is a day where I have to test the #Restic #backup (or rather: restore).

Full restore of a users home directory. Takes about 6 hours, but so far it's going flawless.

I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.

There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.

What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.

Check to make sure your data backups are working as they should.

Got a bit turned around searching for off-server cloud backup options.

Where do people do this? To some kind of static/cdn type service like S3 or Spaces? To a second VPS? To cloud backup services like Dropbox/Drive/Etc?

Was hoping to use the client's existing DropBox account which has lots of storage.

Went down a rabbit hole but then found Rclone (cloud wrapper for Rsync) which looks like a good fit. Got a proof of concept working. 👍

Another day where a #backup saved my ass since I was moving infrastructure and somehow my database got corrupted while copying with rsync

Had a rock solid system for a few months now. However, today I started a #pika #backup and left the house. When I came back, the laptop seemed fine and Pika reported a complete backup. A few clicks later, however, the machine abruptly rebooted, reported several EXT4-fs errors with bad block bitmap remarks, and finally froze. I don't know, but sometimes #linux seems pretty fragile. ☹️
