This is the most simple solution and probably a lot safer than the alternatives. Another good option would be to use OpenVPN.

If a program screws up and crashes while writing data to your drive, it can take out more than just the data it was dealing with. RAID will simply destroy data on both your drives at the same time, making any data recovery impossible.

Someone on lemmy here suggested Restic, a backup solution written in Go.

I back up to an internal 4TB HDD every 30 minutes. My most important files are stored in an encrypted file storage online in the cloud.

Restic is good stuff.

Interesting, unfortunate stuff.

The Linux to trans pipeline is real. I should know, I’m part of it.

Even trying to take over the biggest subs would be Herculean, especially considering they just laid off 5% of their staff.

Good luck doing that with 8000 other subs.

So we’re going to do a forever protest on June 30 right?

Someone else mentioned this and I fixed the link. I wonder if the edit isn’t spreading to other instances for some reason.

Why can’t it just be a vanity instance that you use for yourself and friends, with most of your posting being done on larger instances? There’s at least one I’ve seen like this which seems to be private.

Whoops, just realized that. Thanks.

Just make a Reddit account and access it from a computer, duh. At least that’s what Spez thinks will happen.

Look at how many companies such as Twitter and Tumblr have only had a one or two years where they were generating a profit. For every educated investor there’s 10 more willing to put money into “the next big thing”.

Yes but it shows the intent Reddit has and how far they’re willing to go to force people on their dumb app.

They are relying on technology illiterate investors not understanding what the issues are.

No way Reddit is going to be able to replace so many mods on so many subs that deal with so many millions of users. They can try, but that doesn’t mean it will work.

Just not kill 3rd party apps. Though at this point I want Reddit to destroy itself. I have been hoping for the fediverse to take over ever since I learned of Mastodon and Matrix.

We need to go back to how things were 20 years ago when services like email, IRC, XMPP, icecast, etc. were all decentralized.
