No, I also got the mail and it stated pretty clearly that they only increase the price of the previously free plesk license to 5€. If you don’t use plesk (aka don’t have a license as you described), the VPS will still cost 1€/mon.


I’ve read in another article that NG Lv 1 means that the drive is recoverable and NG Lv 2 that the drive is unrecoverable.


I’m thinking about just doing something outside kubernetes that just copies the data from the directory that NFS provides to another storage.
This is what I’m doing for the most part. A TrueNAS server provides the NFS shares and periodically backs them up with restic.
Some apps don’t like NFS very much, especially those that require SQLite. If you’re running Jellyfin over NFS you probably know what I mean. For those apps I use Ceph instead, which is highly available and a lot faster but also more complicated. Those PVCs I backup from within kubernetes to S3 storage with velero.


I use GitLab at work and Forgejo at home. GitLab is huge, Forgejo is lighter. GitLab Runner is very nice, Woodpecker was a pain to setup but it now does everything I need. GitLab supports subgroups, Forgejo does not. Forgejo is FOSS with a non-profit behind it, GitLab Inc. is for-profit.
At the end, I like to work with both. GitLab has lots of features, but for my own stuff Forgejo serves me very well and I like the openness of it.


Malicious design is putting it mildly. This is fraud with a bit of blackmail sprinkled in. They bricked perfectly functioning trains that their customers already had paid for, because another workshop was chosen for servicing them after the warranty period of the train ended. Then they charged over 20k € to unlock trains they deliberately locked before. The unlocking itself took them 10 minutes.
In a just world the Newag CEOs would go to jail for this, but sadly we all know this won’t happen.


No, it’s permanent. They call it “VPS XS”, here (in german). Sadly a initial one-time payment of 10€ required, I forgot about that.
On ionos.com the same VPS costs $2/month. No one-time payment though.
The unique selling point of this VPS for me was the low price combined with unlimited traffic. Sometimes my nebula lighthouse needs to proxy traffic for peers that can’t talk to each other directly. It’s nice not to worry about traffic then.


I’m not using Pangolin, but a 1€/month VPS from IONOS serves as my nebula lighthouse.


The question you’re asking is too broad. Every tool somehow differs from the others, but listing all differences requires in-depth knowledge of each tool and a lot of time.
At the end of the day, every tool somehow backs up your data. CLI interfaces, encryption algorithms, deduplication logic, supported backends, underlying programming languages and a lot more may differ. Identify what’s most important to you, test different solutions and then use the tool that works best for your use-case.

no way


My server rack is located in an uninsulated attic with two tiny windows. I haven’t measured the ambient temperature but I think it’s over 40°C. Yesterday one drive in my storage server reached 65°C - so for today I have shut it off until the rain comes. Fun times.


This reads like a headline from Plague Inc.


Security in software is about implementation, not different programming languages. Security as a whole is also not something you can achieve just by installing “secure” software - every software has bugs and vulnerabilities. Some of them are known, others are unknown and not every one of them automatically poses a security risk to you, this depends on the bug, your usage and environment. You can try to harden your system, but you need to do this in layers and the application code is just one of them.
For example, you could geoblock IP addresses so their requests never even reach your application. This does not mean that you’re automatically safe from attackers from e.g. Russia, but you make yourself a less easy target.
There are many other defense mechanisms like request limiting, dynamically blocking malicious requests with something like Fail2Ban, strong authentication, frequent patching, network segregation, virtualization, and so on. I hope you see where I’m going. Security is complex and depends a lot on your personal threat model.
That being said, if you need to know how secure the code of a given software is, you need to find something that has recently been audited or audit it yourself.


I have an offsite NAS where I run the Restic REST server as a docker container. I connect to it over Nebula but you could also use a traditional VPN, Tailscale, Headscale, Pangolin or whatever.
Works like a charm.


Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks!


Uhhh, I have always used Docker for Home Assistant with no issues? That being said, I’m no HA power user at all - so maybe you could elaborate about the limits you’ve encountered?


Are you even listening to yourself?! A genocide is never “correct and justified”, which is the whole point of this post. Your comment makes me sick.


jfc how detached from reality do you have to be to make far right salutes at Auschwitz? Scary.
Is this project vibe coded?
