Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?
  • Fair enough. Every service I run depends on encrypted data, so starting the machine without decrypting isn't worthwhile in my case. I have to decrypt to get everything back up after power loss anyway.

    Main advantages I'm aware of for full disc encryption are encrypted swap and system config. Overkill for some use cases so YMMV, but wanting to point out that decrypting at boot can be done.

  • I may be missing something in your use case. As long as you have the port forwarded you can decrypt from anywhere. Use pub key auth and you're good to go

    [Solved] Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
  • Probably the only one I'll get. I've looked at enough white stripes albums to recognize the color scheme - that, the military-esque outfit, and the cigarette type object she's holding give it away. Also looks a bit like Meg White

    Spotify quietly moves lyrics behind a paywall.
  • I've paid for Spotify for years and it is, without a doubt, getting shittier. They removed the integrated google maps car mode without a real replacement. They push podcasts, which most users do not care about, heavily now, despite having poor support for them UX-wise. They keep moving UI elements around without purpose. I've read they also have an exploitative revenue model for musicians on the service, but haven't confirmed that bit myself.

    Firefox Partners with Qwant for a Better Web(?)
  • DDG is abysmal for technical subjects such as programming. When searching for anything mildly specific in that arena, I nearly always need to re-search on a different engine to find anything useful
