@amerika "Five people died in the riot on Wednesday, including a Capitol hill police officer."

Kinda deceptive... Three of those five were medical emergencies, eg a heart attack, and a fall.

@benkaufman

@verretor @su @amerika quite literally I read an article the other day claiming that unlike March, covid patients were coming in with all kinds of crazy symptoms...

Yeah, the positive test was a coincidence...

@verretor @JTR21 Would be less work to deal with spam and what not.

@kalle two or more.to.be precise.

@kalle I'd check how big your incremental changes actually are. A 100GB blu-ray disc might last long enough to be worthwhile...

My idea with the RPI is if you have two of them, you can have a cron job completely shut off their network interfaces periodically. That'll make it rather difficult for a hacker to get it!

@kalle hmm, you mean the total size of the data is 1TB? Or is that the size of the incremental changes?

The easiest general purpose solution is probably to use a raspberry pi or similar and export a drive with NFS or something. Then use a cron job to just do a normal backup. Or alternatively, turn off the network and use two RPIs.

@kalle You trying to prevent the ransomware from deleting what's on the disk?

Have you considered burning to a dvd or blu-ray? Remember that multi-session burns are possible too, so you don't have to use the entire disk at once.

Limited in size though: blu-ray maxes out at 100GB (125GB if you can get the rather rare quad layer disks).

Here's how I'm running this self-hosted mastodon: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon

Almost point-n-click, which the one nuisance that you need to have DNS records setup before you ssh in or the installer craps out (specifically, Lets Encrypt fails, and then it crashes on the second try).

...though I also went to some extra steps w/ nginx redirects to be able to have https://mastodon.petertodd.org be the mastodon server, yet have @pete be my identity. But that's optional.

"DO NOT LET MASSAGES FOR A WORK
DIE YOURS"

@verretor Twitter doesn't even stand.

@nvk @mir_btc why I have my own mastodon server: I AM THE CENSOR NOW!

@Alexandra933 We can call it ____ Day.

@verretor @mir_btc what if Jack just wanted to retire early?

I mean, with that beard...
