  • Nextcloud it just too heavy I totally agree, and everything feels slow and sluggish.

    For just files I use Syncthing and couldn’t be happier, it just works in the background without a central server just syncs the files between phones, PCs and laptops by itself. I set it up like 5 years ago when I had enough of Nextcloud and to be honest most of the time I forget that I have it, but I use it every day to sync my password database for KeePassXC, my music, my private and work documents between all my devices.










  • Most of the time the VPS provider offers some backup solution. It’s not only about your configuration files which can easily be recreated, but about all the user data like pictures databases, etc. Which once lost can’t be recovered.

    Best practice is a 3-2-1 backup: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

    But you could back up your stuff on your laptop if you want, it’s not such a bad idea actually. For that you trigger the backup script from your laptop, you can do it automatically there too. This makes sure that the laptop is on while you’re doing the backup.

    The easiest way is a crown job and a bash file which runs a couple of rsync commands to get specific files and directories from the server via ssh.

    A more involved way would be a backup system like restic, which does a lot of things for you but is a bit more involved to set up.

    There is no incarnation, this is the only life you have and it’s up to you to make is as good as you can. Externalizing and blaming others for everything does not get you far.

    There is no afterlife, no nirvana, no reincarnation, you just sense to exist. Until then make an impression on the universe.
