I do when I forget to run the git branch comment before. But I find it still hard to understand exactly which commit to reset to in the reflog.

Tangential but reading on mobile, the font size in the code snippets are all over the place. I actually have the same issue on my blog. Anyone knows why?

Keep the good work! I am betting also on making a product that respects its users.

When the server can’t be accessed, you can’t create a secret, right? This has been quite annoying in my experience. I’d still recommend Bitwarden clients with self-hosted Vaultwarden.

More than the price, the privacy concerns and previous outrages justify using Jellyfin IMO.

Of course, I wouldn’t use their client anymore. Actually, I would have never used it from the start as it’s not open source. I think for backups there’s no better guarantee than that. I don’t mean because you could look at the source code, I mean because in my experience open source products tend to care more about their users than not. At least for such foundational tools.

Why not just use backblaze as cold storage and use restic or another tool with a GUI to backup to it?

> The challenges we face are neither technical nor legal. The only solution is to educate our children about life with digital abundance. Throwing them into the deep end when they’re 16 or 18 is too late. It’s a wonderful and weird world. Yes, there are dark corners. There always will be. We have to teach our children what to do when they encounter them and we have to trust them.

This resonates so much with me. I don’t want to control my kids. I will never be able to protect them from everything. I hope I won’t be able because I want to die before them. I want them to be able to navigate in the world and have all the cognitive tools necessary to avoid being fooled. I want to rest in peace knowing they can in turn educate their own children. I want to trust them and be relieved that I can focus on some tasks of my own without needing to constantly worry about them.

Oh I particularly loved that you made the prompts themselves interchangeable. Very well done!

The first AFAIK customer owned self-hosting as a service company. You own the hardware, the software and your data without the hassle of needing to configure or maintain any of it. https://skarabox.com/

The technology is using my open source project https://github.com/ibizaman/selfhostblocks

I target small businesses and possibly individuals that are already aware of the issues and are okay to pay a small premium for this solution.

Also I am currently only targeting locals so I can physically go to their place and configure their server.

I don’t mind growing slowly here btw. It’s my side business and I plan to keep my current job for the time being.

I fully understand. That’s my goal too and what I want to provide here. No technical knowledge is required.

Awesome to hear that! Feel free to hang out in the matrix channel to get some updates and hopefully excitement around the project. :)

This is the reason I adore NixOS. The documentation is the code. Seriously.

You might be interested in checking out my project SelfHostBlocks which allows you to declaratively setup quite a few services with declarative LDAP and SSO integration with LLDAP and Authelia. Even if you don’t end up using it, it might inspire you. Also, all integrations are tested with NixOS VM tests using playwright to ensure no breakage.

I’m working on introducing this kind of protocol in NixOS. I called it contracts. https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/189

The idea is a contract is defined saying which options exist and what they mean. For backups, you’d get the Unix user doing the backup, what folders to backup and what patterns to exclude. But also what script can be run to create a backup and restore from a backup.

Then you’d get a contract consumer, the application to be backup, which declares what folders to backup either which users.

On the other side you have a contract provider, like Restic or Borgbackup which understand this contract and know thanks to it how to backup the application.

As the user, your role is just to plug-in a contract provider with a consumer. To choose which application backs up which application.

This can be applied to LDAP, SSO, secrets and more!
