@prettygood @paula99 @meso @pi55d raccoon quest is dead because the filesystem got corrupted and dush didn't do backups.

@lucy @paula99 @meso @pi55d damn. Dush knows better, or he should. I at least keep postgres backups and (now) I'm backing up my uploads so at least if I break things I have a couple of pieces to try to recover from.

@prettygood @paula99 @lucy @meso @pi55d This is more about a karma thing, but i get your point. I will say and you can quote me, this instance will live as long as i make it to.

@dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @pi55d I liked most raccoon quest posters I knew. Can't say I can think of any negatives, aside from Dush being very opinionated (FWIW I disagree with him more often than not but I respect his opinion)

@dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @pi55d also if this server goes away, its because I fucked up too bad to recover from, or else I quit drinking. Place your bets.

@meso @paula99 @lucy @meso @pi55d "more features" doesn't mean "more better". Some people have to learn that the hard way.

@paula99 @lucy @meso @meso @pi55d like I said, I disagree with him most of the time but I appreciate someone with opposing viewpoints and priorities. I literally don't care if GNU software is "bloat" if it is reliable and I can understand it and troubleshoot it.

i thought he had daily backups or something lol

we talked in mumble a few days ago and he claimed to have a backup script that creates backups every day

@meso @paula99 @lucy @prettygood @meso @pi55d Corruption can happen on any fs, even zfs but not even keeping backups is a sin.

@lucy @paula99 @meso @pi55d Here you go, just maija being stupid. It's a screenshot of your profile bio on Misskey if the image is broken.

@phnt @paula99 @meso @pi55d what about my profile is a reason to block me?

@lucy @paula99 @meso @pi55d I have no idea. Maija probably had one of her typical meltdowns. No posts that arrived mention you.

@voltrina @paula99 @lucy @prettygood @meso @pi55d having backups is one thing, being able to actually restore them on a moment's notice is something people don't always test until it's too late

as someone who was feeling pretty depressed up until recently, seeing someone be happy is painful, so it could be that

@affine @paula99 @lucy @voltrina @prettygood @meso @pi55d reminds me, i should really test some of my back ups on a test server

@affine @paula99 @lucy @voltrina @prettygood @meso @pi55d Especially on Pleroma instances because the DB restore can take hours if done improperly.

@phnt @paula99 @lucy @voltrina @prettygood @meso @pi55d I had an akkoma that just wouldn't get up after restoring from a backup, but I really wanted to change the db name to run more than one on the same server, and anyway I was tired of running it and just looking for an excuse to get rid of it and start anew 0a8c324c-83e1-439a-a483-d68536420571

@kirby @paula99 @lucy @voltrina @prettygood @meso @affine @pi55d Another trick is to --disable-triggers when restoring the data dump.

@paula99 @kirby @lucy @voltrina @meso @affine @pi55d Kirby boosts literally every single post so his instance is actually a full archive of Fedi as a whole

@dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @prettygood @meso @pi55d Last time I talked with dush about filesystems, he was using XFS on alpine which is a sensible choice. A default one on RHEL for example.

Keeping backups is another thing. I only have manual DB backups, but on the other hand I don't really care as this instance is single-user only. If I ever make it public, which might happen, I'll update my already existing full system backups script I use on my desktop/laptop.

@phnt @dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @prettygood @meso @pi55d I wonder if he had backups of the data but not offsite. This is what got me when two of my servers died.

@sun @dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @prettygood @meso @pi55d That I'm not sure about. I think he talked about having some offsite, but I not entirely sure.

It's the same situation for me. I have backups, but nowhere to put them offsite automagically and I'm not willing to put them on something like BorgBase. Eventually I'll have to rent a cheap Frantech VPS with a storage slab, or build a home server.

@phnt @dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @prettygood @meso @pi55d literally right now I'm fixing mine for SPW to be more reliable.

And yeah also you have to test them sometimes.

A big thing for me is, interruptions caused my backup server to silently fail for SPC, and when my database got corrupted, I had to manually fix the database. Which took a week and a half.

@phnt @dcc @paula99 @lucy @meso @sun @meso @pi55d I'm using rsync dot net for offsite backups with Borg and I'm quite pleased with it. It isn't the cheapest service in my stack but its reliable and yes I've actually tested recovery lol

@phnt @dcc @lucy @meso @sun @prettygood @meso @pi55d i should probably also keep backups of goreslut just so we have it in 2 different places lol

@affine @dcc @phnt @lucy @meso @sun @prettygood @meso @pi55d he had a backup it was just done in a weird way so we didn't bother with it
he keeps his stuff in containers

@meso @dcc @paula99 @lucy @sun @prettygood @meso @pi55d I might build one because I'm frankly getting tired of the manual 2x5TB HDD backup system I have now. The problem is HW and mainly storage prices. They are currently slightly stupid and were much worse 2 months ago. 150 EUR for a 4TB WD Red isn't that bad. Seagate Ironwolf is 40 EUR cheaper, but I'm never buying Seagate. Bought two drives and never had worse experience.
