Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Borgbackup vs rsync for offsite & DR backupEnglish
1·2 天前You are probably technically right about rsync, and I had used rdiff-backup for many years actually instead. But I do think there is a different use case for each, depending on what you are backing up.
E.g. if it is files that change a lot, like documents or other text files. Rdiff-backup will be better, keeping old versions of them automatically ready for restoring.
But if it concerns backing up music, videos and also images (unless you edit them but then you’d probably save a new file as well), there doesn’t seem to be much difference to rsync anymore. Those files do not change, so an incremental backup won’t really add any value.

Opensource@programming.dev•Your Google Android device is about to stop being yoursEnglish
2·2 天前Exactly, that is the one thing I hardly ever see mentioned in such threads and legitimately the one I worry about the most. There will always be a way to install apps other than the playstore, but the harder it will be, the less people will bother and the more developers will be forced to go via the appstore anyway.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin / Paperless-ngx on Raspberry Pi 4?English
1·4 天前I have a Pi 4B with 8 GB RAM and run Jellyfin plus some other stuff on it. Works great.
Had it first installed via repo but transcoding did not work at all. After switching to the Docker setup though, transcoding worked ok out of the box. Definitely takes a few seconds before the stream starts when having to transcode but no hiccups afterwards. Unless you jump around of course, and also I never had more than one stream trandcoding.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malwareEnglish

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hostable projects that are just for fun?English
4·5 天前I think I read recently about some emulator portal you can selfhost, would that be silly enough? Requires you to acquire ROMs though.
It won’t hurt asking but if you think just because their profits are up they’ll be fine replacing that RAM when the alternative is to simply have the customer buy new, now expensive RAM (because what else would they do?), then I am not sure what to say.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malwareEnglish
6·6 天前I am not sure how Emudeck downloads Cemu though. I only found instructions on downgrading Cemu for Emudeck that you should download directly from Github and delete the Cemu file in the Emudeck folders.
Which might mean that Emudeck is setup to download directly from Github, not using Flathub. That would then result in a user receiving the malware if they had updated via Emudeck during this time.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Dead Space writer loves Disco Elysium for its “really high literature writing", saying “that’s not happening” in any other gamesEnglish
121·6 天前It is pretty decent, but if you don’t like reading/listening to lots of text, you won’t have a good time.


Nuke the entire house from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
