  • First copy on offline USB disk on my server itself. Disk is turned on, backup done, disk goes off. Once a day.

    Second copy on a USB drive connected to an OpenWRT router of my home, the furthest away from the server (in case of fire, I could be able to grab either of the two).

    Third copy offsite on a VPS.

    I use restic & backrest with great satisfaction.



  • My house has two furnaces: one gas (methane, or city gas) which I only use for water heating (showers, etc) and one wood pellet. They both warm up water in the heaters circuit, and can be used at the same way.

    The gas one is more expensive to run (400€/month), but require zero maintenance, except some predictive maintenance like cleaning filters once a year in summertime.

    The wood pellet one is way cheaper to operate (1.5k€/year, for 9 months of operation) but require weekly cleaning and daily fuel loading. Also for this one once a year maintenance is mandatory, deep cleaning, replacing some perishable parts and so on.

    So, yes, every furnace require periodical maintenance to operate properly, and should work just fine for 10 or even 20 years if you are careful and do the proper maintenance.









  • What? I use Firefox and git to bworse, commend and post issues on open source tools hosted on github.

    Just tell me you dislike github (understandable) but not that “those hosted on github” are not open source tools… That depends on the license they are following, not the tools they are using.

    And by the way git is open source as well as the browser you need to access github.

    I think you are getting way too far.

    Said so, I host all my open source code on my private instance of forgejo, which is way more open source than github, but I don’t allow registration (its my private instance, after all) so where do you put me at?

    Just to remember that even the GPL v3 doesn’t say you must provide support or a ticketing system.





  • Any names of rogue/-lites? I need them on Android as its the only platform I can reliably play today…

    As for board games, we are into those too, or at least we where. But the love for ultra complicated board games by my wife took us to a blind spot where we are always too tired to start a game LOL…

    I till love and we still play Ticket To Ride occasionally tough.


  • I also made at least one good friend on that game. We keep in touch years later.

    Was amusing the idea to try recreate the original game as open source, with due differences like a true rich tech tree and less grind (no need to monetize an open source game after all), and most of all, self hostable server.

    But RL is a bitch and free time is hard to come by these days, so.

    Yeah the game was pretty addictive and I took the DN fiasco as a good reason to finally quit. I got to RS10. But seeing how rs10 was so much less fun in red stars was also a turn down as well.

    I had friends playing rs10 regularly tough, so those where doable and kinda fun too it seems.

    Rs9 where real fun tough… Specially done in private corps with three more able and willing partners.

    White stars too, I really enjoyed them, maybe I was in a lucky corporation.
