Backups all done and verified for another while 😅

Woohoo 🥳 Finally fixed the remaining bugs in my set of shell scripts for backing up Docker volumes:

https://git.mills.io/prologic/backup-docker-volumes

Has the behavior of:

• Given a Docker node;
  
• Find all active volumes.
  
• For each volume, find its running container or service,
  
• Stop the Container or scale down the Service.
  
• Run the backup on the volume
  
• Restart the Container or scale up the Service.

One of my main problems/blockers I think is that I use my Mac Studio as my primary backup target (from my NAS and Docker volumes), then I use Backblaze B2 as my secondary target from there. So my backup process is 2-step with two targets (a local target and a remote target). What I really need is another secondary smaller NAS that I can just host the tools on more permanently, hmmm.

I need to fully automate my backup/recovery process. I use restic as my primary backup/recovery tool and documented a process for Docker volume backup and restore with restic which I also use to backup Docker local volumes (unfortuantely requires small amounts of downtime per service) – There is also this nice tool called auto-restic which I haven’t gotten around to using yet, which I thinik will help with automating. Right now I still kick the process of by-hand, whenever I feel I should probably do another backup 🤦‍♂️

Of all the jobs under threat by AI/ML, IMO artistic/creative jobs need to be protected at all costs. Why? It’s what makes us human and makes things interesting. Without creativity I worry we’ll just end up worse off.

So in the wave of all things AI and this roller coaster we’re all on, apparently actors, writers and so on are all on strike. I don’t recall seeing anything in my feeds about this, so I had to ask a few folk in real life wtf was going on there…

Turns out they’re all on strike because they fear that AI/ML models will take over their jobs. There are numerous cases where “tech” has already replaced an actor, now it will just get much easier to do.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Store ‘em in large plastic boxes in my office 🤣 (in case I ever need to re-import)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @xuu@txt.sour.is and I have already experimented with doing something like this a while back, part of that experimentation helped actually build out what is Salty IM today. The original RFC for Encrypted Feeds and Signatures

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Oh boi. This just keeps getting worse and worse. I think we’re going to have to seriously considering going fully e2e encrypted Twtxt here 😅

Anyone got any cool shit™ to watch on Youtube? 🤔 One of the biggest downsides of all this streaming crap is that once you watch one thing, it fills your list with other similar things to that one thing. After awhile you get tired of the same shit™. Maybe it’s just me, but I cannot stand this algorithmic garbage content shoved in your face.

Someone please help me change this 🤣 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hah very cool what you can do with ascii art 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Haha good breakdown 😅

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Nice! 👌 You’re rich ‘n wealthy 😆

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net INteresting stuff, light-based networking. Isn’t that basically fibre but in open air?! 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Well I dunno about where you live, but here in Oz, IPv6 is still not available on most ISP consumer networks 🤣

Council evicts tiny home residents amid housing crisis | A Current Affair - YouTube – Honestly I swear to god, bureaucracy can go fuck themselves. Get off your high horse and let people solve their own problems, because you clearly can’t solve the very problem you’re created (insane inflation). #Politics #Sucks

RISC-V is certainly coming along 👌

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no INteresting 🤔

@threeoh6000@colean.cc I see

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Evoling how? Seems pretty much the same to me 😅

@jmjl@tilde.green Probably, but then you just spend your time tracking down abusive IP addresses or CIDR(s)and reporting them.

@threeoh6000@colean.cc Who do you report the IP addresses to? 🤔 I just don’t bother, because I don’t run anything they’re scanning for in the first place 🤣

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I agree 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best approach I’ve found over the years, (just need to continue the practise) is to; once a year, go purchase ~$100-200 worth of DVD(s), rip them and import them into Plex 👌 Fuck streaming media services!

Not to mention, actually implementing Activity Pub is just so hard to get right 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de For several reasons; I think the pull based model is honestly better in every regard, the deliberate slow nature of Twtxt/Yarn is actually beneficial and discovery/connections made through “people you know” is more genuine (rather then pushing crap to randos you don’t really know or have never known)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We stopped using most “streaming media” services some years ago, they just aren’t worth they money 🤦‍♂️ The only one we use/have is Amazon Prime, only because we also have Prime for deliveries, etc.

I’ve been thinking in the back of my mind for a while now, that the Yarn.social / twtxt + ActivityPub integration was a mistake and a. bad idea. I’m starting to consider it a complete failure.

@apex@twtxt.net Hey! 👋 Welcome to my pod 🤗 Also welcome @threeoh6000@colean.cc 🥳

@threeoh6000@colean.cc Hello! Welcome to Twtxt 🤗

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Sorry 😢 the protocol is kind of complicated and the code I wrote is probably not perfect 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Technically no, but last time I tried the process and tools werre slightly broken 😢

That reminds me, I need to rebuild the iOS version too.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Not in the production store. Never got that far. But you can grab the latest built APK from the repo

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci No different to any other document object model 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net I’m kind of serious 😆

@shreyan@twtxt.net True 👌

Turns out this already exists 🤔 and it’s called MSON

Markdown + Git as a database / object store? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no oh! very nice 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I’m increasingly not sure we can really trust anyone but ourselves with our own thoughts and conversations (not that I did before) 🤦‍♂️

Hmmm the Wasabi NAS Cloud Backup only supports Windows™ 😱 I don’t trust it or Wasabi now 🤣

So given’s Google™’s recent policy changes where they now outright and blatantly just admit they’ll crawl, index and feed your (yes your fuckind) writings, thoughts, conversations, etc into their AI models; Should we as a small niche community (still growing) think about perhaps finally building Yarn.social v2 where we have encrypted feeds? 😅

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I saw that 🤣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Didn’t know about this storage provider 🤔 How does it compare to Backblaze B2 (currently using for backups)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci That’s why I asked 🤣 @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I’m familiar with the spice of the same name 😅

@macrumors@feeds.twtxt.net Bahahahaha

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Not bad 👌 Going camping tomorrow (taking Friday off) with the family 👌 I hope we’ll all have fun 🤞 But it will be cold 🥶
