Same. Database corruption hit me after ~1.5 years and I could never figure out what the cause was or how to fix it. Which is a shame, because Duplicati looks like a great open source project with a lot of dev time and effort invested into it. But when it comes to backup software, your core functionality better work reliably, and Duplicati just isn't there. I since switched to Duplicacy and couldn't be happier.

I'm not too familiar with Zen, but questions like these are often meant to be nonsense questions with no answer. They push you to think harder and harder until you realize the futility of doing so, at which point you've found the "real" answer.

Not OP, but Pop OS is a great Ubuntu derivative.

I'll dig it up for you. This is from Feb 2020, and is much more straightforward than what's on the site now. https://web.archive.org/web/20200229081345/https://www.digit...

This is why I host my own personal streaming service. I'll buy music, copy the files to my server, and use Airsonic to stream it to my laptop, phone, etc. It's a lot more work, but I'd rather have full control than use something like YouTube Music, where I can only hope that the songs I like don't get pulled or the service itself doesn't get shut down.

Personal anecdote: I've been using BTRFS on my laptop running Manjaro for the past year with no issues. Originally I had it running in an encrypted LUKS partition on a single Samsung NVMe, but for the past month I've been running two NVMe drives in RAID 0 with a LUKS volume on top of that and BTRFS inside of that. In both cases I've had no performance issues, no reliability issues or data loss (even when having to force shutdown the laptop due to unrelated freezes), and have been able to save and restore from snapshots with zero issues.

I wouldn't leave this up. Maybe create a retrospective post once the case is over if you want to help others, but don't share details (even minute details) publicly until you've talked to a lawyer first.

It's very similar for sure, but it's worth nothing how this is different. WASM is much more accessible as it doesn't require additional downloads or tooling. It also supports a wider range of languages. I can take my Qt desktop application written in C++, run it through emscripten, and have it running in Firefox or Chrome in just a few minutes. Instead of having to build and release binaries for Linux, Windows, Mac, and Android, I can make a single WASM build, host it on my website, and run it anywhere. It's honestly incredible

Running an intermediate/middle node is generally safe. You want to avoid running an exit node.

You can do the same by pressing and holding the power button on the lock screen to pull up a menu, then press Lockdown. I'm not sure if it's enabled by default, but it is a security option on at least Android 11+.

There's also Kind (Kubernetes in Docker) which accomplishes the same thing using upstream Kubernetes.

Agreed, Kind is perfect for running disposable, reproducible multi-node clusters that are essentially upstream K8s.

The way I see it, Vagrant does for VMs what Docker does for containers: provides a way to build, deploy, manage, and teardown VMs consistently and without much manual effort. For example, I used Vagrant when learning to use Kubernetes, because I could quickly spin up a 3 node cluster on my laptop and destroy it if I messed up.

If you can use containers for local dev, great, but not everyone can or wants to migrate to containers. Vagrant still solves a very important use case.

Facebook and other social networks (Google+ for example) played a huge role in this* by enforcing real name policies. It's more profitable to advertise to users when you know who they are, where they live, how they shop, what they eat, etc, and not just their screen name.
