In general you backup everything that cannot be recreated through external services. So that would be the configuration files and all volumes you added. Maybe logfiles as well.
If databases are involved they usually offer some method of dumping all data to some kind of text file. Usually relying on their binary data is not recommended.
Borg is a great tool to manage backups. It only backs up changed data and you can instruct it to only keep weekly, monthly, yearly data, so you can go back later.
Of course, just flat out backing up everything is good to be able to quickly get back to a working system without any thought. And it guarantees that you don’t forget anything.

0·1 day agoI wouldn’t know how to figure it out either and I’ve been on Linux for decades. I’d just google “linux brightness cli” and click on the Arch wiki link. That’s mostly because my brightness keys have always worked out of the box.
Try to see it the other way around. If you didn’t even know that a device manager existed on Windows (which is feasible nowadays since it’s been buried deeper and deeper with every new Windows version) you would search and read and search some more and probably eventually end up at the device manager. Do it enough times with other issues and you start to see patterns.
Nuts are pretty healthy. I usually have a bag of various nuts nearby. If you like it put in some raisins or cranberries or other dried fruit.
And of course fresh fruits are king. A banana takes almost zero effort.

Cybersecurity - Memes@lemmy.world•What do you guys think? Would this greatly decrease your chances of being hacked?
0·1 day agoThat’s all fine and dandy until your app decides to default to ISO-8859-1.
Happened at work. Customers could log in via web or use an email client. On the website we used UTF-8. But depending on operating system settings the email client would use UTF-8 or windows-1252 or iso-8859-15 or for our international customers some even more obscure (to us) ones.

0·5 days agoThat they already do. If there’s a DOS game not on GOG it’s usually because they didn’t get the rights.
Would be cool if they could start selling ROMs for other emulators. I bet at least Sega would be up for that. But good luck with Nintendo and Sony.
Stupid government, subsidising food supply.
Have the courage of this pudu.

I’d really love to travel back in time and first amaze an alchemist that their future colleagues will be able to turn lead into gold. Only to crush them again by explaining that the process is too expensive.





















I switched to rspamd. Its bayesian filter is a little weird. It only started working ok after I found the right amount of mails to feed to it. For some reason it forgot everything if I gave it too many mails. I think it’s a Redis thing. No idea. I don’t have the brain power to figure it out or write a proper bug report. But I think my Debian version is outdated anyways, so this might be fixed by now.
For my server learning from mails from the last 50 days was the sweet spot. Since then I got no false positives and only the occasional false negative. Exactly how I want my spam filter to be.
