How do you handle email for prof and private uses? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I searched and searched about this and every response of theirs I found gave the same speech about IMAP not being as safe as their apps.

Recommendations for an inexpensive DIY backup? in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml
[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (12 children)

I only buy used drives. The money I save from buying and using them is more than enough to backup everything multiple times. I personally think a new drive but only one back up is not safe.

Other thought, if you want to be seriously safe about your backup you should put it at your parents house or work in case something happens to yours.

But the thing I keep coming to is the cold backup. How can you keep cold backups over several hard drives, without an entire second server to do the work?

You could just plug them into your server or computer and move them there. Also, a server doesn't need to be expensive. You could just buy a used optiplex for 40$.

Starting at planning menus - Any advice? in c/frugal@lemmy.world

Well those examples do include a decent amount of mayo… but you could go worse with a nice bread and vegetables.

Have you found anything that works since you made the post?

How has that been going?

Would there be any potential problem of hosting public and/or private (vpn) services in a school office? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yes, already have. It seems they don't care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

Open Source Github Repositories in Danger of being Deleted (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/33425601

Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

I found cryptpad, it seems nice. I already use NC but not for editing.

Seeking advice. I'm having trouble handling monthly finances and week budgets with multiple credit cards. What should I do? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

I feel I should get rid of them or stop using them but most have good benefits so I am unsure what I should do. I tried using YNAB but it isn't how I think about money. I really need to stick to my budget but with my partner and child I feel money is constantly flowing out.

  • Sams card great for Sams and gas. Free. Only use for the above.
  • PNC unlim good all around and free.
  • Older PNC card, told not to cancel because it is free for my credit. Only pay utils on it. Not worried about this one.
  • Amazon card, 5% discount on amazon for family essentials, free.
  • Amex, 95$, good all around, and great customer support.

I'm thinking I should possible cancel Amex and Amazon because they easily add up, then focus on just using my main PNC unlim card. Thoughts on this?

The Amazon discount and Amex purchase protection are both nice but having more than one with so many purchases as a family is stressful.

I don't see any reason to cancel the old PNC card or Sams card. Use around 100$ a month on them.

As paper material is often more long lasting and safer than digital, what do you decide to keep physical copies of? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)
 

After learning this I printed off my PhD notes, prelims, and current dissertation.

I think datahoarding isn’t just keeping digital materials but taking care of what we have!
