@ruari@velocipederider.com@… The Lightphone authenticator app has the worst possible UX in terms of data loss.
When you show a one time passcode, there are two options shown on screen:
• '<' = go back a screen
•'REMOVE' = delete this entry forever with no confirmation
I have clicked remove by mistake several times.
Now, I have secure backups of all my …

@wraithe@mastodon.socialPower went out about two hours ago, I was gonna post something about how I was impressed my various UPS systems* are doing fine, but realized battery backups are actually pretty common now, and that’s something that’s improved
Power just came back up 5m ago, but just dropped out again 😂

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ngI updated my tool to batch-delete Mastodon bookmarks to also store JSON backups of the deleted bookmarks. For each one it now writes a JSON file with the post ID, account ID, creation date and HTML content. If there's interest I might also update it to fetch & backup linked media.
The script can be configured to adjust the threshold date (only older bookmarks are removed). It also allows setting protected accounts and hashtags.
I'm bookmarking ferociously and running this scr…
@tabacha@norden.socialKleine Homelab-Optimierung 🌱
DB-Backups von gzip auf zstd --rsyncable umgestellt:
📦 vorher: ~919 MB
📦 nachher: ~529 MB
➡️ 42,5 % weniger Daten
Laufzeit praktisch gleich: 7:43 vs. 7:48 min.
Weniger speichern und übertragen bei gleicher Laufzeit – kleine Effizienzgewinne summieren sich.

@penguin42@mastodon.org.ukHmm one of the medical charities contacted me saying they were affected; I told them to remove all my details - I made a donation to them a couple of years back; I hate getting added to lists because of it.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialI am having a “recover from updates” day.
Updated my backup server FreeBSD v13->v14 and one of my 4 authoritative DNS servers 14->15.
It turns out that the default MTA is now dma. That’s probably a good idea, except that dma installed on a machine that has a working mail setup relying on features not in dma does stupid shit. Also, the ssh update forced a host key update so all the backups broke. AND: OpenSSL on 15 doesn’t like my antique CGP server: weak dh params.

@thomastraynor@social.linux.pizzaLearning day for me. Now that the Linux laptop is up and running it is time to add/remove software and tweak settings. Then see about doing restores from backups for some of my backgrounds, S/W sources and various BASH scripts.
Added
- Rust compiler
- COBOL compiler
- Mastodon client (Playing with Tokodon)
- NotepadQQ (we use Notepad at work so I want a similar tool)
It is an older (about 8 years) laptop and the battery isn't the greatest, but…

@davidlevner@social.linux.pizzaGoogle Can't Add?
I do nightly backups to Google Drive. Looking at my account today, I saw the image below (lightly edited).
Google is saying that I have used 1.57 GB. Adding a few of the visible files, I calculate 949.1 MB 343.2 MB 757.5 MB = 2.0498 GB. By the way, there is another couple of GB in the Trash folder.
I'm glad that, as of today, the mistake is in my favor. But what if Google says I'm over my quota and I'm not? I realize I'm getting a f…

I had a legit Photoshop v3 license, and I’m pretty sure I can find a copy of the app on ancient backups (yes, really) so maybe I should stand up a rig in a VM.
(no, I should NOT.)
@teledyn@mstdn.caHowever folks may rave about their fave extreme sport, nothing drives adrenaline and primal fear like doing surgery on a live terabyte production database with no backups.

@lornajane@indieweb.socialThe actual remedials will have to wait for the weekend, this is a personal blog and there's nothing else on that box so it'll just have to stay like that for now. I have backups and will just nuke the server and rebuild when I have a spare day.

En tanx to een VPN gaat dat zelfs lukken. Zo'n jachthaven weet dat eigenlijk aardig te beperken. 😇
